Fashion Show Coverage: Roccobarocco S/S 13

1

A taste for the artisan manufacture and material opulence, typical of Roccobarocco`s tradition, of embroidery, lace and brocade, is reworked into a more light-hearted sense of fashion making.

2

The designer replaces traditional prints with an innovative lacquer technique of oriental inspiration which becomes the distinguishing feature of this collection.

3

Floral patterns, tortoiseshell geometrics and decorations lacquered onto the fabrics take on an unusual tactile effect on brocade and lame tunics, little dresses, chiffon dresses, maxi shirts and denim.

A brocade inlay flashes like a deep gash of light across gold lacquered georgette.

5

Animalier and tropical flower prints interweave on super-fluid blouses, palazzo pants in satin and sensual single-shoulder dresses.

6

The colour palette is vital: turquoise, coral red, gold and brilliant greens.

7

The decisive desire for anti-understatement is the Roccobarocco expression of a contemporary vision of Made in Italy.

8

A fresh & feminine summer collection featuring innovative brocade.

  2. The collection seems pretty cool. It does reflect opulence but seems wearable enough on the streets, not just the runway. :)

    Luv it!
