CHIARA BONI RETURNS HOME
CHIARA BONI‘s La Petite Robe returns to her home, after several seasons in New York, returned to show in Milan for summer/spring 2024 Milan fashion week. Drusilla Foer kicked off the CHIARA BONI show with a heartfelt performance, dedicated to the Florentine designer, featuring Charlie Chaplin’s iconic song “Smile”. The bold colors and magical vibrations of an adventurous African journey echo in the Spring/Summer 2024 collection. The brand’s stylish women, who love to travel the world, bring a positive energy from their recent adventure in nature. This positivity shines through in their elegant and cheerful fashion choices. They prioritize comfort without sacrificing sophistication, opting for dresses and suits that flatter their figures.
Drawing inspiration from their unforgettable travels, they embrace a captivating color palette. This includes rich hues like golden green, ink, orange, and topaz, perfectly balanced with classic shades of midnight blue and black. Bold zebra patterns, modern takes on tie-dye, and playful jaguar spots infuse an exotic feel, inviting you to immerse yourself in a carefree holiday vibe.
The collection emphasizes drapery for a hyper-feminine and sensual touch. It introduces new jersey fabrics that bring a dynamic quality to the garments. The ultra-light material with a silky finish, which catches the light, enhances curves for an elegant appearance. The designs create a liquid effect, giving the impression of divine creatures emerging gracefully from the water. Draped dresses come in various lengths, using stretch satin. Taffeta combines with the iconic jersey for dramatic dresses featuring maxi sleeves and cape-style details. While pajama-style suits with mix-and-match prints exude a casual vibe, pairing a miniskirt with a fitted blazer featuring tailored shoulders gives off an urban cool style.
Staying true to the brand’s feminine and glamorous vibe, you will find cascades of sequins and mirror decorations for that perfect touch of sparkle. Elegant gold leather platforms help to streamline the silhouette. To finish off the looks, BAD AT MATH designed mini bags with large beads that mirror the vibrant prints of the collection. Oversized hoop earrings add to the show’s cheerful and carefree atmosphere.
