A tale about migrants, the one by Antonio Marras, presented at the catwalk during the Milan Fashion week, allegory talking about the contemporary time and today migrations, accompanied by the hope that successfully solves as it happen to the forefather Jean-John Marras who moves from France to America, a story, this one, written by the wife Patrizia telling about the hard knocks, journeys, later ending with the coming back to Alghero and giving rise to one of the fashion designer’s ancestors. A journey in the catwalk which evokes atmospheres from early Nineties, emphasized by music and dances by dancers who alternate during the different moments of fashion show of the Fall/Winter 2018-2019 collection.

It shines languid, fluid and solemn architectures, enriched by accessories as the bags becoming belts and enhancing silhouette. Lace, tulle, red carnations prints, floral elements, precious decorations, along with sporty-chic suggestions as the sweathshirts with lettering draw an incisive lines strategy which is at the same time light ( featuring the red trench made of silk satin, the tuxedo jacket, patchwork jacket decorated with embroidery and lace, the inlaid bomber jackets and men coats with neck made of fur) under the sign of poetry and melancholy, the sadness which becomes lighter.

 

LA POESIA E MALINCONIA MIGRANTE DI ANTONIO MARRAS

 

 

Un racconto di migranti, quello di Antonio Marras, presentato sulla passerella durante la fashion week milanese, allegoria che parla del momento contemporaneo e delle migrazioni odierne, accompagnato dalla speranza che ciò si risolva felicemente come quello dell’ antenato Jean-John Marras che dalla Francia si sposta in America, una storia, questa, scritta dalla moglie Patrizia che ne racconta le peripezie, i viaggi, per poi ritornare ad Alghero e dar vita a uno degli antenati dello stilista. Un viaggio in passerella, che evoca atmosfere dei primi Novecento enfatizzate da musiche e danze di ballerini che si alternano durante i vari momenti della sfilata della collezione autunno/inverno 2018-2019.

Splendono architetture languide, fluide e solenni, arricchite da accessori quali le borse che diventano cinture ed esaltano la silhouette. Pizzo, tulle, stampe di garofani, elementi floreali, preziosi decori, unitamente a suggestioni sporty-chic quali le felpe con lettering disegnano una strategia delle linee incisiva e al tempo stesso lieve (di cui sono protagonisti il trench di raso rosso, la giacca da smoking, le giacche patchwork impreziosite di ricami e pizzo, i bomber intarsiati e i cappotti da uomo con collo di pelliccia) all’ insegna di poesia e malinconia, la tristezza che diventa più leggera.
