Fashion brand GILBERTO CALZOLARI presented their Spring Summer 2022 Conte d’été Collection, that brings a burst of pure energy, with vibrant and colourful looks, on September 21st, during the first day of the ongoing Milan Fashion Week. The collection was inspired by designer’s childhood memories of to the Summers spent at the seaside, as well as by the Summer breeze of the French Riviera in the 1960s, and by the Milanese sophisticated and aristocratic women, who are always open to the diverse cultural trends and international influences.
SPRING SUMMER 2022 WOMENSWEAR COLLECTIONS
“So here is a Spring Summer collection eye-catching without frills and easy to wear, in the city as on vacation, made up of dresses, skirts and shorts with clean shapes and vintage-flavoured volumes, such as the ’60s “bon ton” coat in floral print linen, worn over a yellow two-piece pin-up swimsuit, or like the green viscose trapeze dress with ruffle sleeves, or the orange top combined with a high-waisted swimsuit. The references to the beaches of Okinawa, and more generally to Japan – another constant of my brand, starting from the logo of intertwined ginkgo leaves – explode in the fabric origami in the shape of a pinwheel, the leitmotiv of this collection, applied on dresses or even hand-sewn together to form a top, a miniskirt and the final dress.” – Gilberto Calzolari
