Antithesis | Materials
In Antithesis formal and informal join in outfits with a strong duality, made of stiffness and sweetness, softness and gloss, tradition and experimentation; acute and obtuse angles, concave and convex curves. Dissonances and defects disturb regular-shaped garments, giving character to formal looks. Polished and chrome-plated materials combine with rough and matt surfaces, geometric cuts contrast with wavy or rippled lines. Bright effects and iridescence with sand, earth or musk consistencies. Classic pinstripe and herringbone with cracked and irregular textures. Digital interventions with precious craftsmanship. Every aspect reveals its hidden side: rough-backed satin, softly lined body shields, fluid surfaces interrupted by spikes and prickles.
Research: Anna Maroncelli for Autumn/Winter 2025.26 season.
