Milan Fashion Week: Antonio Marras spring summer 2025 collection

Anna Maria Pierangeli was born in Cagliari (1932) and later moved to Rome. She was discovered by chance by Vittorio de Sica and the director Léonide Moguy. As a young girl, she played the lead role in the film Tomorrow is Too Late, for which she won the best actress award at the Venice Film Festival. And from there her destination would be Hollywood, in the international star system of the big           studios. The SS25 fashion show is inspired by her, and by her incredible destiny, to the dichotomy between Sardinia, the land of her childhood, and Beverly Hills, her new home, between the American dream come true and homesickness, between the evocative atmospheres of holidays in Acapulco and memories suspended in time of a land of unspoilt beauty. The collection tells of the star-crossed love story between Anna Maria Pierangeli, now renamed Pier Angeli, and James Dean, a love animated and inflamed by cultural and character differences, steeped in desire and melancholy, a love that was short-lived but made immortal by the fatal attraction that gripped both of them from the first time they saw each other.

The SS25 men’s and women’s collection consists of overlapping fabrics, materials, embroidery, lace and prints that chase each other, meet and become one. The decorations are enriched with jet and sequins, bows and ruffles. The silhouettes are recognisable but the pairings unusual. Opposites attract. Nothing is as it seems. Lightweight silks draped like couture gowns, jeans treated like leather, leather printed like fabric, knitwear becomes raffia or a home for exquisite embroidery, sweatshirts are a space for inlays of all the materials in the collection or a blank sheet of paper on which to draw or apply the American university coats of arms.
