After making his mark in the world of ready-to-wear, Alessandro Michele faces a new challenge in Haute Couture. A natural transition for a maison that has always made refinement and experimentation its hallmark. The creative vision of Michele, known for his erudite approach and ability to intertwine eras and suggestions, now finds a new expression in a dialogue with the thoughts and suggestions of great intellectuals.
In this collection, the concept of cataloging and accumulation becomes central: the human desire to order the infinite, to give shape to chaos through lists and collections, becomes a metaphor for artistic creation. The result is a series of 48 dresses that, far from being simple items of clothing, transform into a visual and conceptual journey. Each creation is a universe in itself, a stratification of references and materials that evoke different memories, cultures and eras.
Ruffles, brocades, iridescent fabrics and minute details give life to a story made of unexpected connections, where each element seems to belong to a timeless narrative archive. Here, the concept of vertigo becomes the key to understanding: the perception of an unstable balance between order and chaos, between finite and infinite. Michele thus proposes a vision of fashion that is not only aesthetic, but also intellectual, bringing it back to its deepest essence: a means to explore knowledge and beauty in all their forms.
