Launch of Luisa Spagnoli Spring Summer Collection 2016

The Luisa Spagnoli woman welcomes next season by looking back at the 70s, with the freedom and frivolity of those years, to which she adds a new gritty and modern feel.

An exciting style that brings the boho-chic trend back to our days, giving a new twist to iconic items and materials from the 70s, through the distinguishing features of this feminine and glamorous Maison. Suede waistcoats with cow-girl fringes supplant jackets and are matched with slim-fit flared jeans featuring alcantara details. Mini dresses and short, A-line skirts in suede alternate with loose dresses with floral prints. Caftans, ankle-length skirts and palazzo pants feature ethnic prints with patterns of far-away places, in true hippie style. A gipsy feel permeates also frayed folk skirts with a jacquard structure and hand-made effect knitwear.

Warm colors, such as tobacco, cognac and sand, stand out on the must-have fabric of the 70s - super-soft suede - matched with ochre yellow, jeans blue and military green.

In the cruise line , inspiration comes from the Navy with declared navy-style influences. Striped jumpers in classic colors, white, blue and red, high-waisted large trousers with golden buttons, pea coats in cloth and double-breasted regimental jackets in piqué cotton to be worn with blue jeans, for a truly Parisian street style.

The most casual soul of the brand is expressed in denim, which acquires a new central role. The fits of five-pocket jeans multiply: the new flared, bell-bottomed and cropped models, large and in their new ankle-length version, are added to the skinny and boyfriend models. They can be matched with boyfriend blazers, with their smooth, sexy and feminine lines, loose fit and three-quarter sleeves. Western jeans skirts with buttons on the front are originally worn below the knee, tracksuits are renewed with the delavè denim fabric, which is set to become the new must-have of the season;  suits with cropped blazers and trousers with turn-up, thanks to the original color - faux denim indigo - , become bold and modern.

In addition to this casual and gritty style, the collection includes a totally different, ladylike, chic and feminine style. The suitcase for the holidays of a young, refined and elegant woman, typically wearing large dark glasses and wide-brim hats as a true First Lady of fashion, includes flare dresses, suits in pastel colors, silhouettes that emphasize the waist.

A daily couture that can be found in peplum waist couture tops, in lace inserts and in large floral, polka dots, geometrical and color block prints of blouses and small dresses. Even typically-sporty down jackets and sweatshirts acquire a new allure thanks to lurex flashes, details of semiprecious stones, rhinestones and degredè effects.

In the elegant line, clothes become as precious as jewels, as delicate as spring flowers; roses printed on long skirts in silk and cotton mix duchesse satin convey a hand-painted feel. The night sparkles with dreams in organza and silk cady embellished with drop-shaped stones, jet stones and rhinestones embroidery, in an interplay of light and transparency.

Long dresses are presented for the most special moments, with impressive and astounding outfits, pleated dresses with American necklines, for a real Greek goddess; and, for the most formal and special evenings, limited edition mermaid evening gowns, entirely hand-embroidered with stones and jet stones, featuring romantic heart-shaped necklines on the back.

A true lady's wardrobe includes the right accessories to complement her total look. From must-have bags for everyday life in town and at work - capacious and unlined tote bags, work bags, small rucksacks in deerskin with shoulder straps, exclusive shopper bags in saffiano leather with golden details - to essential items complementing the most holiday-like and bohemian looks: hobo bags in straw and many costume jewellery items to be worn one over the other, whose materials reflect different cultures, trips and  exotic contaminations. Extra-large marine-style necklaces and in hard stone, coral, turquoise, agate, bronzite and freshwater pearls, showy bracelets in colored stones such as purple amethyst, angelite, green agate, lapis lazuli.

Formal dresses are completed with elegant clutches featuring nappa leather pendants and precious minaudière, with snakeskin print on laminate, in jewel silk satin and pastel colors.

Lastly, silk scarves and wrap-around scarves in chiffon and linen to wear in case of a light sea breeze, or simply to showcase so as to add a touch of elegance and personality to your look.
