Des Phemmes Fall Winter 2022 - 2023 at Milan Fashion Week

Des_Phemmes’ Fall Winter 2022/2023 Collection, Unbalanced Balance, delves into the obsessive attraction of opposing poles; the harmony and contrast of the visual elements that characterize the individual garments.
The aesthetic universe of the 90s, fil rouge for the collection, finds expression and personification in supermodel Stella Tennant, muse of the season and emblem of eclectic and unconventional beauty. She became the fulcrum of our research on individuality.
Errors are not elements to be hidden, but celebrated as an added value: the Different is no longer the Wrong, but an emblem of uniqueness and personality.
Iconic items of the 90s – denim jackets and cargo trousers – are declined in new materials such as vinyl. The silhouette of the male wardrobe is contrasted with the intimate couture nature of proportions and details. An eclectic game of balanced imbalances.
The concept of tension is harnessed in the combination of simple silhouettes and contrasting embroideries and other embellished surfaces. This continuous operation of opposites that dialogue with each other and complement each other, represent the male and female hemisphere, indissoluble and necessary to each other.
The collection finds its maximum expression in the collaboration with Tissavel, a leading brand in the production of faux fur. Eco furs with saturated colors are enriched with vivid crystal embroideries to enhance the surfaces and volumes.
The whole wardrobe is stained with acidic nuances giving life to an eclectic total look with a radical attitude. A play on layered colors and saturated tones tells tales of femininity’s emancipation from the social definition of femininity, a horizon of the acute and sensitive hemisphere: the eternal pleasure of a stratified, intellectual approach without the need to deprive itself of strong sensuality, at times ironic and irreverent.
Tie-dye returns in various forms, different treatments, and color mixes. A key element, layered from collection to collection that follows the proportion and structure of the Des_Phemmes universe.
Through the cornerstones of an aesthetic that does not want to change the signifier, this metaphorical journey celebrates the female hemisphere and the sensitivity of magnificent strength within precious fragility. An open invitation to embrace your own individuality and that of others, without censorship and preconceptions. An ode to one’s “unbalanced balance”.
