'Oniricon' was the title of Accademia del Lusso's fashion show held on Tuesday evening at the Talent garden Calabiana in Milan, a showcase of young talents' collections on the catwalk.
The event was inspired by the dreamlike atmospheres and surreal visions in the genius of Federico Fellini, a master of Italian cinema.
The young designers, inspired by Fellini's masterpieces such as La dolce vita, La strada and Giulietta degli spiriti, presented ready-to-wear and haute couture collections.
The catwalk presentation primarily featured the Accademia's third-year Fashion Design undergraduates. The 76 graduate looks showcased on the catwalk, designed by 25 students from Milan and five students from Rome, were divided into three macro themes: funky town, minimal chic and dreamy.
Each creation told a story, an idea, a dream, taking the audience on a dreamlike journey through fabrics, colours and shapes.
To create the collections, the students used high-quality fabrics by Manteco, which produced a dedicated limited edition label applied exclusively to the clothes made by the students.
"Decadent elegance, circus-like atmospheres and surreal contrasts dominated the catwalk, while the students let their talents shine through the fine Manteco fabrics,” Giampiero Mele, educational director of Accademia del Lusso, said in a statement.
“The event, which will also have a continuation in Rome in Piazza di Spagna after the summer, enchanted and inspired, celebrating the genius of a master of Italian cinema and the future of fashion in our country,” he concluded.
