Chicca Lualdi BeeQueen – Fall Winter 2013/2014 fashion show

Milan, first day of the fashion week: the fashion world is in front of the Sheraton Diana Majestic Hotel waiting for the Gucci fashion show, while the show of the eccentric, excessive and joyful fashion is going on. At the same time, in fron of the main entrance of the same hotel, a more sober queue is about to join the Chicca Lualdi BeeQueen fashion show.

Two diametrically opposed universes, that are part of the same fashion system, show their collections in the same location.

The hall for the fashion show is a small dark room with shiny walls, lit by shafts of light reflected in large mirrors. It’s like being inside a Japanese black lacquered box with mother of pearl inlay.

The show begins and just from the first looks we can find all the sources of inspiration declared by the designer in the press release.
The warm colors of copper and gold arranged in bands of contrasting textures echo the abstract works of American painter Mark Rothko.
The Swinging London mood and sporty details are mixed in backless dresses, sculpture cloacks and patent leather boots which refer to the most iconic objects of the designer Vico Magistretti.

Color and material are the magic couple for Chicca Lualdi, making feminine even the simplest of the cuts, thanks to the shimmering reflections of the duchesse contrasting with fur, cashmere and loden layers.

The invisible seams are the backbone of the simple and elegant silhouettes, designed for women who want to feel at ease in everyday dress, a fundamental concept for Chicca Lualdi style, which sharply contrasts with the excess at any cost.

  1. ciao Alessandro,

    i chiari richiami agli anni 60 , le linee pulite i materiali sobri e raffinati mi fanno amare molto questa presentazione e rivalutare la sartorialità senza eccessi e clamore di questo brand meno osannato da critica e stampa .

    Buona giornata
    ave

  2. Ale, hai cambiato qualcosa nella grafica??!!
    Cmq, peccato non averla vista dal vivo..ricordo che quella per la primavera/estate mi aveva particolarmente stupita!!
    Da quello che vedo la stilista è rimasta fedele al suo stile senza stravolgerlo..mi piace!!

    XOXO

  3. Interessante vedere come una stilista e una collezione evolve nel passaggio da primavera/estate ad autunno/inverno.
    La palette la trovo molto lussuosa e piena, che sicuramente mi convince molto rispetto a quella estiva e anche le linee pulite mi fanno impazzire, visti i miei gusti.
    Tuttavia non so sia sia colpa della location, ma trovo non ci sia quel sentore di freschezza, innovazione e un po’ di magia che avevo percepito a Settembre.
    Vedremo alla prossima fw!

    baci,
    G.
