Elisabetta Franchi FALL 2024 READY-TO-WEAR

A collection dedicated to the industrial music of the 80s and 90s that experiments with and draws inspiration from the rock band that, even today, after over 40 years, remains unique on the global stage and turns its music into art: Depeche Mode.

The runway transforms into an aesthetic concert featuring contrasting volumes, garments with clean silhouettes and minimal cuts, and proportions that oscillate between oversized and super-fit. Micro shorts and mini dresses alternate with new rock interpretations of red-carpet attire paired with biker boots. The color palette is characterized by a predominance of neutral colors like gray, black, and white, punctuated by nuances such as cedar and silver. Metallic colors harken back to the stage, guitars, and backstage, imparting an extreme sensuality that bursts forth and fills the space.

The name Depeche Mode originated from an idea of the iconic frontman David Gahan, who came across the French magazine La Moda Veloce, La Moda passeggera. It's yet another testament to how strong and enduring the relationship between music and fashion is over time. The fashion that evolves in its dynamic nature is precisely the stylistic exercise with which the Spring Summer 2024 collection by Elisabetta Franchi has been designed.
