Normaluisa Spring Summer 2013 fashion show

Under the rain the guests await their turn to enter the Philological Circle of Via Clerici in Milan. In the entrance hall of the Art Nouveau building, a lot of balloons invade the space up to the upper floor, it seems a great party.
Between wet umbrellas and dripping raincoats, the lights go up on "coquillages et crustacés", the spring summer 2013 collection by .normaluisa .

Sotto uno scroscio di pioggia battente gli ospiti attendono il proprio turno per entrare nel Circolo Filologico di Via Clerici a Milano; nell'atrio della palazzina liberty, una marea di palloncini perlati che invadono lo spazio fino al piano superiore: è subito festa.
Tra un ombrello bagnato ed un impermeabile da strizzare si accendono le luci su "coquillages et crustacés" la collezione primavera estate 2013 del brand .normaluisa .

Exotic rhythms and songs from the 60's makes you forget the bad weather taking on the beaches of Saint-Tropez, while several Brigitte Bardots dance on the catwalk wearing slightly flared clothes in bright colors such as fluorescent pink, strawberry, framboise and coral. The A-line shaped clothes with floral carvings and the mini dresses with puffed or butterfly sleeves, are mixed with the fine brocade palazzo pajamas decorated with silver paisley patterns, while the edges of sleeves and necklines are highlighted by small and stylish glass canoutilles.

Ritmi esotici e canzoni anni 60 fanno dimenticare il brutto tempo catapultandoci sulle spiagge di Saint-Tropez mentre sulla passerella Brigitte Bardot balla indossando abiti dalle linee leggermente svasate in tinte brillanti come rosa fluo, fragola, framboise e corallo. I top ed i vestiti dalla linea ad A con intagli floreali quasi anni '30 o i mini abiti con maniche a sbuffo o a farfalla, si mixano con raffinati pigiama palazzo in broccato fluo decorato con motivi paisley argentati, mentre gli orli delle maniche e le scollature sono evidenziate da piccole e raffinate canoutilles in vetro.

The sand-colored jackets with white and blue vertical stripes, resembling the patterns of surfboards; sporty dresses with minimal silhouette and pop prints with pineapples, cocktails and exotic flowers take us to Miami. It's a clash between the lifestyle of the two coasts, the French casual-glam and the American sporty-chic.

Le giacche a righe color sabbia, bianco e blu che imitano le fantasie delle tavole da surf; i capi dall'appeal sportivo con silhouette minimali e le stampe pop con ananas, cocktail e fiori esotici ci trasportano a Miami. E' un vero e proprio scontro tra lo stile di vita delle due coste, il casual-glam francese e lo sporty-chic americano.
