“Everyone is unique, nobody is identical to the other. What, however, is that thing that makes us stop being “one single” and makes us become “one with the other”?
The embrace: a simple and primordial gesture, able to recompose the two separated into one. ” On February 24th at the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan the new Fall Winter 2018/19 collection by the designer Alberto Zambelli was presented. Numerous guests and fashion designers attended the show, which, minute by minute, revealed the designer’s fascinating creations, communicating the common thread of the entire collection: the embrace. 
The creations have been embellished by Swarosky, all surrounded by a particular musical accompaniment. The spontaneity of the embrace is translated into sartorial outerwear, and we can still feel the wrapping of the hands around us with the vision of destructured dresses in crêpe de chine, the bands that are arranged on the back and the three-dimensional structures similar to origami. The linear and synthetic embrace portrayed by the eclectic artist Sergej Michajlovic Ezestejn, is reinterpreted by Alberto Zambelli, through depictions and geometric shapes on long dresses, pleated skirts and blouses. A technical and comfortable look, interpreted with extreme femininity, is given by white jersey. The neutrality of the collection, sober and moderate, is in perfect harmony with the alternation of more decisive and sparkling tones.
Elegant minimal sets are proposed in unusual nuances, such as lavender, orange and aquamarine green. The collections signed by Alberto Zambelli are the result of a personal research on the world and on contemporaneity, reflections of stories and special paths that lead the designer to create new complexes and wonderful universes for every season.
The oriental influence of the designer has meant that his creations were free from excess, focusing attention on the intimate beauty of linearity. Exalting the female figure is undoubtedly the purpose of each collection by Alberto Zambelli, who manages to redesign it thanks to superimpositions, volumes and shapes made with skill.
