In her Spring/Summer 2023 collection, Laura Biagiotti ventures beyond conventional fashion, offering a profound connection to cultural identity and heritage. The collection not only traces its geographical roots but also celebrates the craft and lifestyle associated with it. This collection paints a vivid picture of Rome’s rich heritage, embodying its artistic opulence, cinematic beauty, and vibrant lifestyle. It’s a contemporary reimagining of the GRAND TOUR, reminiscent of the educational journeys taken by young individuals in the past. Architectural prints inspired by Carlo Labruzzi, an esteemed 18th-century Roman landscape painter, and marble-inspired patterns are imprinted on delicate fabrics such as chiffon, satin, and taffeta. These elements form intricate puzzles that adorn feather-light garments. The collection encapsulates a sense of timeless elegance and cultural richness, depicting the beauty of Rome’s sunrises and sunsets with hues ranging from soft pinks to warm ochres, yellows, fuchsia, and the deep purples that evoke the splendor of Imperial Fora sunsets. The collection pays homage to Rome’s diverse and timeless beauty, blending elements of history and modernity.
Biagiotti’s approach to fabric manipulation is innovative, introducing new techniques like four-strand silk braiding on pullovers and cardigans, filet knitting with cotton and linen for snug-fitting attire, and the use of cashmere for lozenges and plaits in “bon ton” ensembles. The collection explores three-dimensional lines and dimensions, offering both embracing and form-fitting styles. Long evening dresses and gowns provide a broad and graceful silhouette, while shorter dresses, including very short ones, create slim and close-fitting looks. The entire collection showcases Biagiotti’s creative approach to fabric design and her commitment to providing diverse and appealing options for her clientele.
Biagiotti takes an inventive step by infusing the Fashion-Sport combination with a fresh paradigm. This innovative approach brings together the worlds of Fashion and Golf, with the “LB Golf” monogram serving as the emblem for Summer 2023. The monogram is prominently featured on cashmere pullovers and cardigans, elegantly embroidered in gold on blazers and spring attire, and even shapes the bodice of a long evening dress, worn by the top model Isabeli Fontana as she opens the fashion show. The elegance of golf permeates the collection, introducing a green-inspired attitude that transcends seasons, appealing to successful, independent, and passionate women who fearlessly enhance their femininity while navigating life’s challenges. Accessories complement the golf theme with light spun cashmere berets in a variety of colors from the collection and moccasins adorned with gold buckles and tassels, offering a seamless transition from the golf course to everyday life. Biagiotti’s innovation extends beyond just the clothing; it embodies a lifestyle that resonates with women who strive to balance passion and sophistication in every aspect of their lives.
