Glamorous without ostentation, sophisticated but sophisticated, attentive to trends but from a simple and natural mood. These are the characteristics of the woman that Simonetta Ravizza brings on the catwalk for the Spring Summer 2018.
“I love a sophisticated yet natural allure, contemporary but with a timeless quality; refinement must blend with modernity, with a dynamic and optimistic spirit. A touch of glamor makes life more effervescent, but sensuality must express itself naturally; luxury does not have to be ostentatious, but lived as an appreciation for beauty, sheltered from shady showcases. “In this way the designer describes the woman she wants to tell, an inspiration that collects all the features in Fançois Hardy singer (formerly Bob Dylan’s music). A simple, ethereal beauty with sweet features, but it only transmits all its style by a photographic shot.
The glamorous and casual elements for this collection include leather bikers, inlaid mink bombers and over-sized waistcoats, cleverly mixed with mini or midi skirts from a tapered line. Long suede suits or inlay inlaid with soft trousers depict elegance without display.
