Elisabetta Franchi presents the collection “The Femme Paradox.” Ten years of runway shows are encapsulated in a collection that powerfully expresses the brand’s style and femininity, celebrating beauty in all its complexity.
Twenty runway shows, yet always with a clear vision, executed with dedication and care. In constant evolution, Elisabetta Franchi embraces change, creating an authentic connection with the future. The SS25 collection explores the energy of contrast between black and white, between strength and softness. The woman at the forefront of the collection appears confident and sensual, expressing her ideas with determination and embodying the purest form of female empowerment.
Structured jackets and tailored trousers harmonise with romantic fabrics such as lace, along with details like bows and flowers. The jacket takes centre stage, representing the perfect synthesis of the collection. Paired with masculine-cut trousers or ultra-feminine overlay dresses defined by corsetry and lingerie-inspired details, it embodies the collection’s duality. Masculine fabrics are juxtaposed with delicate materials like tulle and silk organza.
The transparency of tulle enhances the female form, while black and white dominate the palette. However, the real surprise comes with cacao, a deep shade akin to black, and curry, a more vibrant hue that breaks the colour scheme and represents the contrasts of women on the runway.
The look is completed with towering pointed patent heels and elegant, modern bags. Soft and versatile, they are perfect for various occasions: from daytime with a more masculine look to evening, especially in the slim version carried under the arm.
