Concept
Lorenzo Serafini began this collection by considering a period in which the United States was at the peak of its self-assurance, dynamism and power – the edge of the the 1970’s and the opening years of the 1980’s.
“I love the exuberant vivaciousness of American style at this time. And it seems so relevant to 2018/2019 to try and capture some the moment’s finest characteristics. Delicacy and strength, powerful romanticism, wholesome glamour – there were no contradictions, only confidence”, says Lorenzo Serafini.
With Margaux Hemingway as his muse-in-chief, Serafini’s lens blends Park Avenue with the prairies. His eye travels from Aspen to Wichita, from New Mexico to New York. The style is democratic: denim stands alongside tulle, leather with lace, taffeta with tailoring. It’s All American – the best of then for now.

CASTAWAY ROMANCE
A seductive endless summer
Who hasn’t dreamed of leaving everything behind and running away to a tropical island? This desire inspires the Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini Spring Summer 2017 girls.
I imagined a gathering of disenchanted, sensual castaways on an island in the Southern seas, dancing on the beach while wearing 19th century clothing found in ancient trunks, washed to shore by the current.
Icon: Brooke Shields in Blue Lagoon
Clothing to be reinterpreted and styled in the spirit of a modern Brooke Shields in Blue Lagoon.
Collection: 19th century Romanticism with unmistakable 80s accents give a playful, summery vibe to the Philosophy SS17 collection.
Sensual dresses, fluid and asymmetrical; soft, woven cotton sweaters; rich skirts with raw cut edges; voluminous tops cinched by corsaire belts.
Dresses are layered, appearing sensual and light, hanging from delicate straps.
The black and white color palette is alternated with different shades of mauve and pink. Light, multicolored lace and brilliant tropical prints.
