A minimalist and rigorous space of an unusual and contemporary Rome - far from the classic postcard images - is the setting for the digital presentation of the new F/W 2021-22 Couture collection by Antonio Grimaldi.
 |
A private women-only party that tells about a moment of rebirth, an intimate and festive party girl atmosphere in clothes recalling the hedonism and glam of the 80s, all revisited in a personal and dreamlike way by Antonio Grimaldi who finds in the top model Anna Cleveland the main interpreter of his haute couture of this season.
21 looks, in which cocktail and evening dresses alternate, soaring on vertiginous metallic stiletto heels, creating sinuous, feminine and sexy silhouettes.

The more traditional geometries, dear to the designer, characterized by lines and sculptural necklines - drawing dizzying and asymmetrical openings on the front and plunging necklines on the back - are accompanied by bodysuits embroidered with crystal, covered with feathers, with asymmetrical cuts or one-shoulder.
 |
Moreover, there are also dresses that look back to the 80s with sculptural balloons, made both as capes and skirts giving grace and power to the figure.
Trains make the silhouette more regal and majestic; they are either part of the mini dress or become large capes that leave the shoulders uncovered.

An exploit in color that goes from black to the most glacial whites up to the pinkish colors of the aurora borealis, accompanied by a range of cold, electric and fluorescent tones such as periwinkle, blue and green.
As far as fabrics are concerned, the Maison's warhorses are back: gazar, marroquin cady (silk cady) which are accompanied by velvet together with point d'esprit tulle, polka dot organza, laser cut and raw cut, worked with iridescent filaments; as well as organza découpée and white irisé and jacquard organza (with lamé and bouillonné workings).

There are precious metal and silver embroidery while refined crystal fringes - cascading, interwoven with silk cords, mesh and with 3D effects – are meant to diffuse light. They can become iridescent and recall the play of light of the northern lights.
A triumph of macro feathers alternates with small versions of the same, to give poetry and grace to the figure of these women with a strong identity, going towards a future to live with grace, determination and color.
