Summer is coming, and the Blumarine girl is ready. Emerging from the armored chrysalis of the fall show, out pops a butterfly in shining colors. Turquoise. Hot pink. Golden yellow. Moody as ever, Nicola Brognano’s self-confident Blumarine creature makes u-turns as she pleases.
“The look isn’t as dirty as in the last few seasons,”the designer elucidated. Brognano said he wanted something more elevated and sensual, “a different energy, more joie de vivre, a more summer feel.”From the label’s archive he excavated a calmer color palette-nudes, pale pink, light blue, white-that he amplified into brighter vibrations. “There are no concepts, just sensations,” he said matter-of-factly.
