Alètheia, truth in Greek, indicates something that is no longer hidden, that has not been forgotten, therefore something that manifests itself, that does not remain obscure.
. Truth is the search for truth itself, a slow and sometimes painful process, even in the fashion world. Imagination, Possibility, Thinking are the three titles that appear at the beginning of the show on three headdresses, suggesting their possible interactions with the human soul.
Francesca Liberatore confronts the precariousness of our times, the contradictions of fashion empires and war. A difficult condition for the sensibility of a creative person devoted to clothing and its narrative.
The awareness of those who observe such a violent context leads us to pause and reflect on our priorities and to seek refuge in a peaceful environment that welcomes us.
“This season, we have all been involved, shocked and overwhelmed by many events greater than a creative sensibility can contain… I have placed my trust in persistence, in believing and in knowing how to do my job, but with an awareness of priorities,” says Liberatore.
The Sony headphones worn by the models act as insulators and receivers of that much sought-after calm. A collaboration that uses cutting-edge technology to benefit humans and their survival.
In the words of Stéphane Labrousse, Country Head of Sony in Italy, “The WH-1000XM6 blends in with outfits as a hallmark of sophistication and modernity, elevating sound to a statement of style and, thanks to noise cancelling, transforming silence into a luxury to wear.”
The collection is a tale of truth in a world where truth has become useless. Fabrics recovered from beds of the past, when quality and beauty were valued, become jackets and overcoats in classic ivory. A search for what we have set aside and forgotten but which, by its very nature, has retained its former value.Lots of raw-cut jersey, cotton voile, jacquard and lace and floral prints, which deliberately lose their nature, for oversized, flared and inlaid jackets and shirts.
The skirts are made up of interchangeable halves, the backs fasten like belts and these become shoulder bags, shopping bags, practical tote bags and accessories with logo patches that also serve as headphone holders.
The palette enriches neutrals and ivories with flashes of lobster and blue, ranging from misty to deep tones. The pace is slow and comfortable, enhancing the naturalness of those who slow down, understand and want to live in peace despite the times.
After Milan Fashion Week, Francesca Liberatore will continue her international journey and will be the star of an exclusive event in Tashkent: on 11 October, she will be the special guest of the Italian Ambassador to Uzbekistan, where she will represent the excellence of Made in Italy at the official closing evening.
