“A prose speech that functions like a speech in verse”
Born as a contradictory and oxymoronic expression, prose poetry represents a literary work that cannot be traced back to a formal discourse but is purely dictated by a feeling moved by the soul. Thus is born an imposing poem of almost epic power in which the young woman sets out on a spiritual journey aimed at achieving her own perfection and essence, thus intensifying a solid spiritual connection. For the Seasonless 2025 Capsule Collection, a contemporary literary work is presented dictated by an imaginary vision composed of a vain Prêt-à-Porter, embodied by the stark reality of prose, and a sacred Couture, clearly the child of a dreamlike need for sublime poetry. Thus, as in a literary game, the profound essence of this collection translates into voluminous and masculine trench coats in blue denim, rigid drills in darker shades up to very rigid pure silk shantung in the most shimmering tones in stark contrast with soft technical cady, luxurious laminated brocades and precious, finely crafted embroidery and fil coupé. All further emphasized by a bold palette that progressively evolves from a seasonal point of view: from the most absolute black to the most masculine navy blue, from the bombastic royal blue to the dusty light blue, from the most glamorous fuchsia to the most passionate red up to the most poetic and otherworldly gold. The aim is therefore to convey the image of a seductive, exuberant and absolute femininity with a more confident and solemn soul. On the other hand, it would not be surprising if Poème en Prose were the premonitory dream of a work of art. It would not be surprising if this work of art were life.
