Antonio Marras Spring Summer 2023 (All Looks)
A new chapter is starting for Antonio Marras, whose company recently entered into a partnership with an Italian manufacturing group. It will give an obvious enhancement to Marras’s financial resources, starting a consequent retail allowing more innovative range and flexibility for the designer. Backstage before the show started, he was absolutely delighted at the opportunity.See all the looks from Antonio Marras Spring Summer 2023 on Flushpost
Ever since his first collection in 1987, Antonio Marras has been known for his experiments, for his power to “feel” the diverse facts around him, the commixtures with craftwork, music, dance, theatre, and cinema. Style is for him the link between all other languages; a unique alphabet that in his own way, uses to conversate with the planet.
For spring 2023, the tale flashed from Marras’ imaginative mind had a hero traversing across unknown Sardinia and encountering people of all sorts to rediscover an old opera home, where seemingly even Maria Callas conducted before nature took over the left location. (All fictional, of course, but Marras knows how to market it, from the bucolic set-up inside the trademark’s offices to the soundtrack.)
In sync with the motivation, the coed group opened with floral motifs and leafy landscapes published over ample skirts, midi skirts, fluid tunics, kimonos, and maxi ponchos. Flower-shaped, white shirts and separates in manly textiles. Rich damasks and brocades counted to the patchwork game, which stays a signature of Marras’ style.
The last seven gowns — with a lavish mix of textiles, puffed-up high volumes, and big trains — hit the most elevated notes and were marginal couture. They were tailored by ensemble seamstresses of Piccolo Teatro theater in Milan, with whom Marras united forces for the unique looks.
