Antonio Grimaldi presented the new Couture SS 2022 collection: a riot of color, energy and vibration.
 |
A positive look at the future, addressed to all women, and a tribute to the loyal Middle Eastern friends, given the participation on the catwalk of Ikram Abdi Omar, model of Muslim faith, famous for affirming herself in the fashion world by wearing the hijab - the traditional Islamic veil – with determination, even on the catwalk.
 |
The energy of color that characterizes the new collection can be seen right from Ikram Abdi Omar’s first exit, in a voluminous bubblegum-colored dress and a matching hijab.

Antonio Grimaldi abandons the softest shades and makes room for vibrant, powerful and bold colors. Magenta, fuchsia, electricyellow next to the ever-present black and white, tell about a joyful and disruptive world that draws inspiration from the work of the great American photographer Irving Penn. An all-round artist, interested in the many aspects of form and color. His rigorous and dry shots and images that have become iconic (such as the voluptuous black and white female nudes and the study of flowers’ colors) represent the creative impulse behind the new collection.

25 red carpet looks are going to be presented in the evocative hall of the Cardinal's Gallery of Palazzo Colonna in Rome: mini-dresses and gala dresses with tapered lines and sheath dresses that are characterized by exaggerated volumes, where structured and full-bodied fabrics such as duchesse, taffeta and gazar are worked together with evanescent and light fabrics such as tulle and veils.
