ELISABETTA FRANCHI - Spring Summer 2017 Fashion Show

ATMOSPHERE Inspired by Helmut Newton and his transgressive and refined work, the new ELISABETTA FRANCHI collection evokes that luxurious atmosphere of the scintillating eighties in America. A confident and sensual Power Woman, excessive when it comes to details and shapes. Opulence and lavish dresses for a ’Dress to impress’ mood with a provocative and ostentatious style that brings out femininity in a contemporary way. SHAPES AND MATERIALS Hollywood style luminous creations that celebrate the female body with deep slits and necklines: refined taste reminiscent of the splendour seen in cult soap operas such as Dynasty and Dallas. Long embroidered dresses, asymmetries and transparencies make for a seductive nude effect: the ELISABETTA FRANCHI woman is audacious and loves showing off, like a real diva. Flowing and gliding lines are contrasted by sculptural and more structured pieces. Shoulders and sleeves accentuated by ruffles, flounces and asymmetries that show off the neckline.
