First Full Moon of Winter.
The night was now in its darkest and most mysterious phase as the Full Moon dominated the scene, illuminating the thick forest of silvery fir trees. Everything seemed particularly crystallized in the indefinable when, among the awakenings of the nocturnal animals, that of the most feared beast stood out. The legend was finding its fulfillment: the wolf with the darkest fur and eyes lighter than ice was transforming into a woman as the earthly personification of the Moon. Against the backdrop of a wild and cruel night, a particular female personality thus stood out, one that seemed to recall the austere figure of the Chaste Diva, protagonist of one of the most famous arias from Vincenzo Bellini’s lyric tragedy “Norma” (1831): it was the young Fourruria ready to vent her ravenous fury. Her name, etymologically deriving from the play on words between “Fourrure” and “Furia”, was the perfect transposition of her most vehement and ferocious nature for which she had come to Earth. Thus, a legend is fulfilled under a sublime, dreamlike, aggressive, provocative, and utterly erotic perspective, in which the young woman embarks on a physical and emotional journey aimed at fully reaching her essence, intensifying her inner strength in an entirely spiritual connection. For the Fall/Winter 2025-26 Capsule Collection, a contemporary elaboration of volumes, sensations, and materials is presented with a more decisive and seductive character. Thus, as in an ambiguous game, the constant search for one’s deepest essence translates into voluminous and sensual faux mink furs, rigorous suits in combed virgin wool, dresses in sinuous and tight technical jersey, soft enveloping capes in cotton velvet, and sparkling sequined midi skirts. Furthermore, there was an unbridled need to express bold verve through imposing shaggy faux mink stoles, sinful bags in technical cady paired with matching fur and gloves, and, of course, mysterious men’s ties in the finest pure silk jacquards. All this is further emphasized by a bold winter palette of diverse hues: from the most mysterious black to the most pearly gray, from the most intense medium blue to the most majestic royal blue, from the elegant and brilliant forest green to the vigorous petrol green, from the most precious amethyst to the most seductive red. The intention, therefore, is to convey the image of a bold, sensual, brazen, and ruthless femininity with a more confident and solemn soul, in which the mysterious relationship with Mother Moon translates into a magnetic and captivating personality and contemporary linearity of form. This is a woman who rejects her submission. This is a true force of nature.
