Couture denim to go on show at PV Milan
06/10/2021
Two couture denim dresses, inspired by the life and taste of Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma (and the second wife of Napoleon), who lived between 1791 and 1847, form the fruits of the collaboration. The Parma opera house was inaugurated in 1829 at the duchess’ behest.
Using PG Denim fabrics, Ms Corradini’s visions for the dresses have been realised by the hands of the opera house’s students. The initial concept was the ‘dream’ of what Marie Louise would choose to wear to the premiere of the theatre season, had she lived today.
As a preview, intricate hand embroidery in gold and white (colours often associated with the duchess) reportedly provides a contrasting complement to the textures of the “innovative and precious” denim fabrics used.
The co-created couture articles will be revealed to the press at 4.30pm on October 13.
