At the end of the world, in an imaginary forest, the Tree of Life thrives. It is the main element depicted by the embroidery on the most iconic piece of garment of the Stefania Esse Autumn Winter collection, the cape, which has been reinterpreted along with extra large scarves, oversize kaftans, copper wire and cotton necklaces. All the garments are presented in multiple variants and shapes, employing a vast range of materials and manufacturing techniques: cashmere, suede, handmade embroidery carried out by skillful craftsmen from Apulia. All elements of the Stefania Esse collection evoke a magic and international atmosphere: garments which are tailored to a cosmopolitan woman who lives in the modern world without forgetting her roots.

My Contraddiction

The most important piece of the whole collection: is the traditional cape presented in a multitude of variants, from crochet profiles to laser-cut leather. Meticulous tailoring makes an interesting contrast with laser-cut suede elements, which seem like “rough” refinements.

Unusual Metallic

In the Stefania Esse collections the art of crochet employs metal, an unexpected and interesting material instead of the more common cotton wire.
