Deep couture | Materials
In Deep couture, an aesthetic that eludes definition prevails, moving unpredictably like a dark, overwhelming, unstoppable current. A couture that does not expose itself but reveals itself little by little, that does not seek to please but to enchant. Stately volumes, liquid draping, slippery and slimy textures, rubbery consistencies, glossy embossing. Velvety satins and swaying voiles alternate with thick leathers and eco-leathers with reflective aspects. Fleshy touches combine with rough, uneven surfaces like scales. Subtle neon, iridescent and luminescent effects generate delicate glare while fine, impalpable filaments add a touch of anti-gravitational lightness.
Research: Elisabetta Arcaroli for Autumn/Winter 2026.27 season.
