Experience the allure of Magliano’s latest masterpiece as the Bologna-born designer, Luca Magliano, takes center stage at Pitti Uomo, unveiling a mesmerizing Fall/Winter 2024-25 collection. Drawing inspiration from Andrei Tarkovsky’s film «Nostalgia,» Magliano orchestrates a high-impact show that transcends traditional fashion norms.
In a dramatic setting, models descend a monumental staircase, emerging from a cinematic mist to showcase Magliano’s diverse characters. From vagrants in patched-up garments to night revelers in ruby-red velour mules, each character tells a unique story on the vast stage of the Forum Nelson Mandela sport and concert hall.
The collection boldly challenges gender norms, featuring women in suits over flattened busts, echoing Magliano’s belief in the non-binary nature of the contemporary body. The designer emphasizes the importance of looking up to women for style and elegance, making a powerful statement about gender as a diverse landscape.
Having clinched the Karl Lagerfeld award at the 2023 LVMH Prize, Magliano returns to Pitti Uomo as a guest designer, showcasing the evolution of his coherent style rooted in body and gender identity issues. The show features exciting collaborations, including tailored jackets by Kiton and creatively refashioned Borsalino hats, adding a playful touch to the runway.
Magliano’s label, founded in 2016 with support from Arcari & Co., has evolved into a global sensation. Distributed in 70 multibrand retailers across China, South Korea, Japan, and Europe, Magliano’s unique blend of Italian tailoring expertise and avant-garde design continues to captivate fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
In 2023, Magliano embraced the digital era, joining forces with Underscore District to enhance the label’s online presence and launch an e-shop. As the designer continues to challenge conventions and redefine beauty as an anti-fascist word, Magliano’s label stands as a beacon of innovation, social consciousness, and political expression in the dynamic world of fashion.
Explore the intersection of elegance and rebellion with Magliano’s Fall/Winter 2024-25 collection, where each piece tells a story of diversity, inclusivity, and timeless style.
