Fashionistas around the world are loving this season’s trends and it’s clear why. This month we explore the Genny AW 2022/2023 collection which brings you the best of both worlds – weaving together minimalist silhouettes and strong colour palettes in a rich variety of fabrics. Our editor, Farah Baig, lets us in on her top accessories to go with the collection too!
Bringing together sharp contrasts in a harmonious fashion can result in some of the most shockingly alluring looks. The Genny AW collection 2022/2023 has been created according to the vision of the Creative Director, Sara Cavazza Facchini. The result is a collection that is rock-solid yet soft, linear yet sinuous – very clearly presenting minimalism and maximalism together as one.
The minimalism is seen through the silhouettes, super polished, reminiscent of the 90s. The maximalism is in the colours with a very strong palette of tones like chocolate, coral, fuchsia, purple, tangerine and lime that characterise the looks. Genny’s style is an ode to sensuality, without rifts or stretches but that is, actually, the translation into clothes of being a woman, strong and effortless at the same time.
The collection also makes use of a variety of materials: jacquard with animalier graphics, paired with knit tops enriched by Swarovski crystals tone-on-tone and also combined with textiles reminiscent of liquid mercury. Looking at the volumes we find another juxtaposition, with wide bomber jackets and slightly flared miniskirts and finally, in the feminine and masculine elements. This time, rendered with the idea of the tuxedo bowtie, untied around the neck and transformed into the detail of a garment and of a long dress, like a man’s jacket worn with just a pair of very tall boots, like a suede stocking, or with orchid decorated pumps. Lastly, the trousers. In the accessories, light dictates the pace, with a cascade of rhinestones that wraps the waist and the boot.
