Events : AltaRoma : Antonio Grimaldi Spring - Summer 15


Saturday night - the talk of the fashion scene in Rome was the Antonio Grimaldi Spring/Summer 15 Haute Couture show.

He describes his collection as being inspired by the magic of flowers which was immediately evident by the fascinating catwalk carpet - 22 metres of colourful flower petals (14 thousand and 500 carnations) fashioned into a baroque mosaic by masters of a skill called Infiorata Flower from the Festival of Genzano - the result was breathtaking.

Onto the clothes - light, sheer, fabrics that flowed as the models walked, the models seemed to almost be gliding in a  breezy wind. The feeling I got when when watching this show was one of romance, of sensuality. 

The main protagonist of his collection is definitely the dress. Different styles of dress, each beautiful in their individual way - his skill at playing with with different fabrics and shapes is tremendous. The female body is enhanced in all the pieces with transparencies that hint at fifties inspired lingerie corsets and nipped in waists

There were also some lovely prints, some even hand painted, reminiscent of the stunning work of photographer Irving Penn.

Sabato sera - il "hot topic" della scena della moda a Roma è stato lo spettacolo Antonio Grimaldi Primavera / Estate 15 Haute Couture. 

Egli descrive la sua collezione come ispirato dalla magia di fiori che era immediatamente evidente dalla affascinante tappeto passerella - 22 metri di petali di fiori colorati ( 14 mila e 500 garofani ) plasmate in un mosaico in stile barocco da maestri di un'abilità chiamata Infiorata Fiore dal Festival di Genzano - il risultato è stato mozzafiato . 

Adesso parliam su le vestiti - leggeri, pura, tessuti che scorrevano come i modelli camminavano, i modelli sembravano quasi essere fluttuare in un vento fresco. La sensazione che ho avuto quando durante la visione di questo spettacolo è stato uno di romanticismo, di sensualità. Il protagonista principale della sua collezione è sicuramente l'abito . 

Diversi stili di abito, ogni bello a modo loro individuale - la sua abilità a giocare con diversi tessuti e forme è enorme . Il corpo femminile è aumentata in tutti i pezzi con trasparenze che alludono a cinquanta ispirati corsetti lingerie e stroncata fianchi C'erano anche alcune stampe belle, alcuni anche dipinte a mano , che ricorda la sbalorditive opere fotografiche Irving Penn.

Outfit Post : Alta Roma Outfit - Hearts & Fringes at Grimaldi

My trip to Rome and AltaRoma was a bit of a spur-of-the moment decision (thanks Ferramoda)  and I didn't really have time to properly plan outfits etc. Not to worry, there a lots of shops in Rome. As you must have heard me mention a few times already, when possible, I do like to wear a piece the designer has created when I attend said designer's show. For Antonio Grimaldi's show, I visited his boutique in central Rome (Via della Vite) and bought one of his tees with his signature heart logo emblazoned on the front. It has a nice fit and I think the pattern logo is lovely.

I'm also sporting a brand new Coccinelle bag, a leather skirt from Zara which I also bought from Rome and my also brand new Dolce and Gabbana shades from Solaris Malta and a vintage Chanel necklace I treated myself to also from Rome.
