Collection SS 18 - Stefania Esse

SS
18

Apulia and its olive trees are the true inspiration and trait d’union of the Stefania Esse spring summer collection. Capes, kaftans, sashes, collars, long waistcoats and kimonos resemble, through the delicacy of fabrics and manufacturing, the sea breeze and timeless landscapes of one of the most authentic Italian regions.

The millenary Olive tree, which is the collection iconic symbol and open reference to the land that inspired it, is finely embroidered on the crocheted shopper bag. Stefania Esse’ characterizing materials are clearly identifiable even in the hottest season: silk, Jaipur yarn, cashmere, suede, treated with crochet, embroidery and pleating.

The same land which inspires the Spring Summer 2018 collection is also the place where Stefania Esse’ garments are actually made. Ideas formed in the far north of the continent are brought to life thanks to the handwork of expert artisans from the far south.

From Stockholm to Apulia, Stefania Stroppiana’ creative journey reinvent itself from one season to the next, just like the landscapes and suggestions that same journey gets through.
