This Fashion Week I didn’t manage to follow as many shows backstage as last time. Every year it is becoming more and more difficult to get time on the agenda to mingle around for 2 hours while make up artists, models and stylists work their magic in preparation for the show. I managed to follow Trussardi, even though I had to miss 2 other shows but it was totally worth it. Being backstage gives the opportunity to check the clothes and materials up close, have a peek at the moodboard that shows the inspiration of the designer Gaia Trussardi, and really get the vibe of a fashion house.
This collection featured Trussardi classical leather, tweed and cashmere together with python and lurex. A different mix of materials that gives multiple dimensions to the cold season. The logo-mania has been going around for a few seasons in fashion, but this is the first time I see the Trussardi logo incorporated into the collection done with golden emroidery, iys showed like a noble family crest.
Effortless elegance is the philosophy embraced by Trussardi in every collection they show. Luxury Comfort has been the fil rouge to the Fall Winter 2014 2015 season with loose cuts and derby flatform shoes. Fashion is getting finally real, taking in consideration that our frenetic lifestyle needs more angora sweaters and less chiffon evening dresses. Taking ispiration for menswear but showing feminity through the use of materials while adding some shine through metallic glimmers.
