Arthur Arbesser presented his first resort collection with a runway show held at Florence’s Stazione Leopolda. The Austrian designer stuck to his androgynous aesthetic with a lineup focused on clean, essential silhouettes that broke the boundaries between masculine and feminine — a boyish bomber jacket, for example, was worn with an asymmetric skirt — while utilitarian references were evident in an oversize padded parka.
Inspired by Bitossi ceramics, Arbesser introduced vivid geometric prints this season, such as on a midlength coat paired with a miniskirt and on cropped sweaters paired with voluminous drawstring pants. He also crafted a romper from an unconventional waxed denim fabric and showed lovely knitted pieces. The latter, which included A-line dresses as well as tops and skirts, added a more feminine note to the collection.
