Khosrov Fall Winter 2023 – 2024 for Milan Fashion

Khosrov Fall Winter 2023 – 2024 for Milan Fashion “The Ecstasy of St. Minias”

a title born from the seduction and charm I’ve experienced in the past few months since moving to ltaly.

“From North to South I’ve taken in cultural nuances, as well as links between my Armenian heritage and this country. ltalian icons such as the lion of the San Marco Piazza, saints & martyrs of the past, and artisnal hands with storied histories tell their tales in this new collection”.

The “Abbazia di San Miniato al Monte”, a basilica that sits a top Florence, served as a foundation of inspiration for this collection. Named after an Armenian martyr, Saint Minas, legend has it he rose from his death and marched up to the church – his head in hand. The patron saint is embroidered in a textural climax it glitters and gleams like a holy light in the dark of this world.

You will see a zig-zag pattern throughout the collection; in leather, in corduroy, and knits alike. The double entendre meanings eluding to the past and the present. Firstly, as a reference back to Venice.

lt tangles and crosses itself with stone work from the facades of the St. Marks Basilica. All the while, the lines are drawn from the Artsakh flag as a respectful nod to the ever evolving conflicts between the Republic of Artsakh and Azerbaijan.

There is a continued exploration of tailoring and new shifts to couture techniques. Coats are expertly cut and finished in Tuscany.

The Aline silhouette is the basis of nearly every look. Powerful and unwavering, it gives way to a woman who is not for the faint of heart. Furs, lambskin, and wools are sewn together with the finesse of ltalian tailors.

Embroidery gets more dimensional and experimental this season for Khosrov Fall Winter 2023 – 2024. The winged lion of St. Marco’s Piazza is perched in a flurry of chiffon, regal and stoic. Wool and mohair are linked to create new kinds of rugs, ones that you can wear. They beck on to ancient deities of Armenia’s past, where mercy did not comes so easily.
