Trussardi Womenswear Spring-Summer 2016 collection

It begins with a memory: images from the maison archives of shows from the late eighties and early nineties.

“Their modernity and airiness continue to fascinate me,” says Gaia Trussardi, Creative Director of the brand.

Everything is mixed together and worn in layers. Flowing suits. Fringed vests. Blazers as light as shirts. Safari jackets and duster coats constructed like tops. Fluid caftans. Extra-light suede. The final impact is ultra-chic lightness.

Bags are “cacciatore” hunter bags in soft woven leathers or rigid boxes in vacchetta leather or snakeskin printed with all-over tribal motifs. Footwear includes sandals, combat boots, and a new version of the masculine derby shoe made of suede or a fine mesh of woven leather.

“My intent is to aesthetically portray travel and its necessities, especially regarding women. I chose lightness as a common theme: I believe it is one of the best and most profound qualities of contemporary style” (Gaia Trussardi).
