Dear Diane, dear shaded vierwers,
the female figures on the catwalk seemed like shadows of military guards. The narrative modulated into a casual mood. Manuela Arcari interprets her style in an unconventional way and so builds anti-uniforms in revolt. There is a strong and rather dark impact created with the use of eccentric elements: volumes, geometric expansions and reoccurent gothic traits. The effect generated in the dramatic silhouettes. The colours were shadowy hues countered by a few dazzling white items. The dark tones were built on every imaginable texture going from leather to suede to raw wool, and bristly synthetics with a surface wet effect. In addition other highlights included animal skins and satin weaves.
The opttical white gives a dazzling light
I really love the collection , pieces have a personality, a character, the decostruction of the shapes, essential and raw , pure and concrete.
