N°21 SPRING SUMMER 2017 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK
Urge to transgress, aspiration to build something new. All with the awareness that we can change the rules if we are perfectly familiar with them. That’s the thinking behind the definition of a new woman, one who’s ultra-feminine of mind yet very much into a femininity that finds freshness in the superimposition of the contrasting elements emblematic of contemporary cultures. The N°21 collection for spring/summer 2017 comes equally from a desire for continuity and a wish for renewal.
«While needing to break the rules that I now consider passé, I wanted to retake possession of the narrative on femininity forever behind my women’s fashion vision. I created layers of images through an overlapping of references so as to attain a very modern femininity that originates in a strong will to change. And I gave this new woman the chance to transgress and thereby build a present-day reality where perversion becomes a glamour game that’s both innocent and decisive,» says creative director Alessandro Dell’Acqua.
Layers of meaning that reflect tenets in evolution. Motley composite of symbols that ultimately forge connotations consistent with the times. For purposes of obtaining, Dell’Acqua goes on, «bothersome elements in classic femininity disoriented by ruptured elements.» Glam/sport fusion effects that spark quirky images where the off-center stance affords the item of clothing and the person wearing it a further opportunity for expression.
So here then are layered skirts and dresses thanks to the use of East European folk style-print foulards, complete with embroidered patch pockets and semi hidden under sequined plisse half skirts. Zipped scuba sweaters with pom-pom decors and passementerie trim on shoulders. Sequined tube skirts in chiffon and organza with tech fabric-edged side zip closures. Tulle-lined anoraks with big patch pockets all in mikado, versus macramé lace bombers with big patch pockets in duchesse.
Macramé dresses with, by contrast, a techy loose-mesh look. Linear dresses in poplin or crepe de chine, offset by a lovely ruche ruffle. High-heel tech-sole sandals with reflective bow on the narrow toe, in alternative to platforms with a running shoe sole. Big macramé rucksacks, as well as small embroidered cloth bags with macro bow closures and tech cord handles & shoulder straps. Lastly, the eyewear – designed in collaboration with Linda Farrow – where the golden lunette on the lens recaps the symptomatic mystery of this fresh take on the eternal power of feminine allure.
Recollections and references, superimpositions and sensations in crossover mode that inspire «a disruptive action necessary for renewing the tenets of femininity that no longer withstand the test of time. All for a woman who has no fear of skimming the sinful boundaries of her own move in a cool new direction», Dell’Acqua concludes.

ALBERTA FERRETTI SPRING SUMMER 2017 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – MILAN FASHION WEEK
WOMEN’S TALES
Sensuality, emerging in its most feminine and conscious form, is expressed with determination and warmth. Freer to feel unabashedly feminine, these women transform their strength into alluring radiance. The Alberta Ferretti Spring/Summer 2017 collection presents garments that can be worn alone or combined and layered to tell new stories. These clothes are creative tools for telling the story of a new woman whose personality strongly conveys unambiguous and conscious femininity.
“With this collection I wanted to introduce passion into my fashion narrative. Following my instinct, I expanded my romantic vision of femininity, adding the passionate character of women who openly express their feminine sensuality. They have a warmer, more radiant personality because they are freer and have no complexes. This is why I also used a touch of eccentricity to accentuate their physicality and character,” says Alberta Ferretti.
The collection juxtaposes different personalities and meanings. Ultra-feminine outfits are combined with menswear trousers and blazers. Tulle kimonos reveal embroidered sleeves, while airy chiffon dresses are worn over menswear trousers made of shiny silk shantung. The same fabric is used for dresses with dramatic crisp ruffles that precede long chiffon dresses cinched at the waist with leather belts that wrap around the waist bustier-style.
Bras are visible underneath completely sheer blouses worn like voile bed jackets. Silk grosgrain ribbons run down long kimonos, tracing movement. Fil coupé jacquard jackets and trousers are worn with organza pieces. The classic “Mia Mule” has a more relaxed look with floral embroidery or bugle bead embellishments which are also featured on clothing.
This deliberate layering is not done to create a theatrical effect, but to establish an unexpected narrative of discontinuity affirmed through a line that emphasizes the shoulders or leaves them bare in strapless dresses, accentuating a silhouette that transforms from languid to passionate through softer, fuller, flowing volumes.

ERDEM SPRING SUMMER 2017 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – LONDON FASHION WEEK
In 1642, during troubled times in an unstable England, a fleet of twelve ships set sail for The Netherlands to deliver Princess Mary to her husband William of Orange. It was the eve of the English Civil War. On one of the boats was Jean Kerr, Duchess of Roxburgh and lady—in—waiting to Queen Henrietta Maria, consort of King Charles I of England. Kerr had a covert mission to sell England’s crown jewels in order to raise money for the Royalist cause. Her boat sank off the Dutch coast before she could complete her mission.
Begins
300 years later we find Erdem’s woman at the moment she lands on the shores of 1930s Deauville in northern France. She is part of an army of women that has landed here with the sense of a mission. There is an urgency and a tension in her promenade across the boardwalk at Les Planches. She has survived and been revived, with a fragile but determined spirit of strength: her mission today is a different kind of liberation.
Her wardrobe hints at her belonging to another time in history, with cuts, materials, colours and motifs that remember 1650s England. They have been tempered with the louche, flowing freedom of 1930s Deauville fashions. The juxtaposition of formality and informality is striking. She is almost dishevelled, but powerful still. Elements of 1650s English fashion become something different in 1930s Deauville: undergarments become sundresses, bustier cuts feel like bikinis, distressed tweeds, brocades and fill coupé necklines, with ripped organza details sewn—in, feel regal with a hint of impropriety.
Across the collection there is delicacy and tension of structure unravelling. Her clothes swing from floating shipwrecked dresses in tulle and chiffon, to weightier more structured outfits cut to fall from her shoulders. Effervescent chiffon dresses, made up of strips that unravel as they reach the ground, feel ethereal alongside frothy printed voile shirt—dresses with spiralling, asymmetric hems. Bolder red, blue and yellow lace tulle dresses appear like military banners from forgotten times. Ottoman with distorted effects, patchwork dresses, mille—feuille ruffles and frayed tweeds add layers of deconstructed texture.
Cropped army jackets and taffeta jacquard dresses with hand—embroidered motifs are a subtle suggestion of her bygone role. Crowns, bows, and cross insignia appear across the embroideries, together with the Roman numeral XII, in reference to the twelve ships that set out to sea. She is wearingjewels that might have been rescued or stolen, heavy mismatched earrings and hat pins that become brooches. Haunting hand—moulded black panama sunhats, with irregular pie crust edges, shield her identity as much as the sun.
The shoes she wears to stalk the boardwalk are a combination of 16505 shapes with a modern edge, in silk jacquard, snakeskin and suede. Platforms from the 17th Century and historic court slippers feel oddly contemporary. She has landed at a time when war is once again on the horizon. The days of high summer here are tinged with tension, but for now she has survived and she feels courageous, whatever tomorrow may hold.
