Del Core SS24 at Milan Fashion Week

Del Core SS24 / Spring Summer 2024 at Milan Fashion Week entitled SLICES OF REVERIE

“I am fascinated by architectural structures just as much as I am by natural forms and their relations. They both prompt simplicity as complexity resolves. This reductionist spirit is what drives me at the moment in a quest for clarification, for lines that are at once pure and vibrating with their origins in nature and their architectural interpretations.”

“The creative path, this season, started from the reverie of my expeditions back in an urban context, envisioning nature through reflections of architecture, offsetting irregularity and vitality with symmetry and rhythm” says Daniel Del Core, Creative Director of Del Core

From this merging of the organic and the inorganic a new embodiment of the Del Core woman occurs. She keeps a vertical slant while blooming with sculptural flaps, like a delicate blossom with a steely stance. Standing tall on high heels or connecting to the ground with flats, she explores an urban angle to the very idea of mutant glamour. The tailoring she dons is strong-shouldered, elongated and lean, verticality emphasized by subtle pinstripes.

The satin coats have precise sharp volumes and are emblazoned with sliced, deconstructed architectural images of flowers. Asymmetric draping cascades around her body, highlighting movement, while lingerie-inspired camisoles and floor-sweeping cardigans have a languid lightness. Needle-like sequins swarm on jackets and dresses with protruding hips creating subtle textures. Hard as architectural shells, resin bustiers made with a 3D printer represent the final merging of the artificial and the nature-made united into a syncretic vision.

Del Core SS24 / Spring Summer 2024, the colour palette – an interplay of pale tones of yellow, mauve, gray and deep notes of red and black – gives chromatic tangibility to this urban fantasy, at once delicate and intricate. Leather flowers coil around the neck, or bloom on the straps of padded bags.

Sculptural earrings and graphically designed handbags are architectures for the body. Clothing as a tool to change appearance, but also mindset: this is the ethos that, once more, I am cueing.

In celebration of the show Slices of Reverie, Del Core announces the opening of the website and online store delcore.com, making the FW23 Embers Bloom collection available.

The e-store features RTW, accessories and jewelry. Insights about the Brand, its founder, Atelier, Special projects and Boutiques.

“Based on our Couture principles, we aspire to build and share our contemporary world” says Daniel Del Core, Creative Director of Del Core. “Ecommerce was a necessity I envisioned right at the start, but we took the time to smooth things the best way possible.

Planet Del Core, from now on, has a worldwide reach and this will impact our aesthetic and development.
