Alberto Zambelli Prêt-à-porter SS18

As in a portrait by Felice Casorati, the dim light of fragile, transparent, and smooth skin emerges from the darkness of the background, with a large comb in her hair, held in the pause of an instant. Zambelli imagines and designs a woman with a passionate vigor in a positive simplicity. Whites like salt illuminate Sufi-tunics. Multiple bands emphasize box-shaped crêpe dresses. Enveloping, round pleats dialogue with lithe mohair and liquid chiffon decorated with comb motifs in Murano glass tube beads. Aristocratic checks meet decò laces. Materials are: mohair wool, poplin, chiffon, silk, organza, crêpe, lace, check frisé, glass tube beads.
