Italian designer Francesca Liberatore may be young, but don’t let that youth fool you. Francesca Liberatore has already proven herself to have the skills of a designer twice her age and her Fall 2017 Collection is further proof.
Taking her inspiration from Franklin Roosevelt, the underlying theme of the Fall 2017 Collection is politics, power and how they shape our worlds. In the current political climate, this collection uses this theme to construct a collection that highlights a woman’s strength, while also acknowledging her femininity.
The collection blends structured fabrics with lighter fabrics, highlighting the struggle between strength and femininity. With a nod towards lingerie, Francesca Liberatore shows the softer feminine side with lace, pairing it with fabrics like luxe velvets for a look that conveys how the two attributes can exist together in harmony.
I have admired Francesca Liberatore’s work since her first New York Fashion Week show and this Fall 2017 Collection demonstrates how prolific and fascinating Francesca Liberatore is with a collection that uses fashion to make a statement about our current world.
