Precious assemblies of masterpieces, the fruit of love and great flair; but also the result of intense research by designers. This is made-in-Italy fashion, and the insiders carry out an intense activity for staying up-to-date.
The best example comes from the collections that many Italian fashion houses nowadays present four, or even six times per year. Technology, comfort, variety of fabrics, freedom of movement, sensuality, creativity, and innovation in matching styles and epochs form the base of the new trend of this end of year.
The people at Liolà - one of the most prestigious Maisons of Italian style - claim that fashion rediscovers anything classic but with the comfort of modernity. There is a return to sobriety, perhaps linked to the events of our times.
For them, style is essentially classic-casual. Basic garments are proposed with the addition of some novelties. Those for the younger girls are faded, and look almost like vintage items. Everything has a certain "second-hand" look, as if it had remained in a cupboard, old beloved clothes that we did not resolve to discard.
LIOLÀ'S GLAMOUR LADY
Women, according to Liolà, seem to transcend time, preferring classical styles with a wise balance between sportswear and chic garments. For them, the traditional expertise of high couture gets combined with prestigious fabrics and an accurate choice of accessories.
They love to wrap themselves in warm jerseys with precious inlaids, and they adore colours, used by day as well as by night. They wear long overcoats with wide fur necks, and in their leisure time they gladly use tartan cloth both for skirts and pants. Foulards are one of their passions, and they own many of them, in different colours easily matching jerseys, jackets, and twin sets.
Another great passion is Chanel-like chains and pearls, arranged in chokers or in knotted strings as the new trend requires.
