Aspera

Aspera

This collection takes inspiration from italian XIX century “Neoclassic” shapes and contemporary Neapolitan artists Pennacchio/Argentato who work on printed metal layers folded to create graphic and eye-catching sculptures.
The main cut is on the upper part of the belly aimed to push the lower part of the garments distant from the body reinterpreting the idea of pregnancy, the most feminine symbol in a “genderless” era.
The fabric used for the garments is a coupled black and white gabardine designed by me and realized (under my direction) by a tuscan coupling factory.
