Blumarine Pre-Fall 2023
In the space of three years, Nicola Brognano's tenure at Blumarine has gone through different stages, ranging from girly and Paris Hilton-y to unique femme fatale and gothic siren. When you think there can be no other way to reinterpret the Y2K style, Brognano always releases a new filter to give it a different light.
Or rather darkness, in this case. "She's a rawer, not too perfect woman," the designer said of the tougher muse that inspired her Pre-Fall 2023 collection. that a woman can wear every day."
Consider longer hemlines (but not necessarily a higher waist), numerous pockets and a trifecta approach to denim, jersey and knits to express this focus on daywear.
The utilitarian vibe played up loud via pocketed denim dividers, flared cargo pants and fashion's unexpected exhumation of knickerbockers - all rendered in shades of black, gray, military green and purple.
Ruffles and frills that once adorned girly dresses were here transformed into denim or inserted into knits for worn asymmetrically on the shoulders. In counterpoint, the embellishments of the long jersey dresses have been minimized, accentuating the sensual bodycon effect of these pieces.
Departing further from the brand's archives to follow his instincts, Brognano also injected a punk undertone veiled with metal eyelets punctuate minimalist ribbed tops, denim dresses and belts giving a little something extra to essential looks. Sleek, fierce and wearable, this part of the collection has proven that a designer's intuition is still his most prized asset.
