Loretta Caponi presents Fall-Winter 2019/2020 women's collection during Milan Fashion Week

Loretta Caponi, a symbolic atelier of Florentine craftsmanship, famous for lingerie, home wear, luxury tableware and beddings, will present its ready to wear ladies Autumn/Winter collection for 2019/2020 on Friday 22nd from 10am to 6pm at Palazzo Parigi, Milan.

For over 50 years, the Brand Loretta Caponi has been admired and followed by nobles, emirs, rock stars, entrepreneurs, influencers and art lovers. It displays a selection of exquisite 18th century influenced embroideries translated in contemporary luxury. The result is unique and precious.

‘The starting point for this collection was an outfit which dates from 1936 - says Lucia Caponi (Creative Director and daughter of Loretta Caponi) - created for Marlene Dietrich for the film The Garden of Allah. It is a vintage black silk velvet robe with sleeves in black dotted white tulle. It is a part of our private collection made by more than one thousand items, that range from 1500 to 1960, where I seasonally find my endless source of inspiration’.

The new collection delicately balances an oriental influence with the seduction of the 1930’s, as well as an indoor and an outdoor use. Romantic pink roses are printed on black striped silk velvet robes, small red roses cover smocked georgette pajamas with palazzo pants, while white cashmere robes are decorated with a quilted black silk velvet collar. Reunited elegantly with quotes of exoticism, these Autumn/Winter 2019 creations get an Hollywood flair when paired with pink silk georgette nightgowns and with printed silk-velvet taffeta jacquard kimonos. Refined embroideries are then, as always, the core and the signature of the Brand, developed this season on black cashmere where happy and bright butterflies fly over a mysterious hooded robe.
