Reflecting on the journey of the past (lockdown) year, of darkness and
solitude for reflection, the designer explains that her collection was
inspired by a desire for closeness and touch, but apprehension at the same
time to embrace one another after so many years.
At its first-ever physical presentation at Palais De Tokyo during Paris
Fashion Week, the collection explores the tension of touch but don’t touch, a
desire to get close, but refrain. Led by the hypnotic singing of Lola Lolita,
who wore a gold shiny mesh fabrication of the wet-look dress, the models were
literally draped around rocks and slowly moved on to the music. The white
wet-look dress was elevated this season and embroided with clear crystals.
Although the cut-outs and draperies are complicated, the collection is
tailored out of jersey, tencel and mesh which makes it comfortable to wear.
Most of the models were barefoot, others wore strappy sandals with long laces
to complete the outfit.
As we see a lot of cut-out-strappy-designs on the runway and new collections,
we think Di Petsa is definetely another level evolving the wet-look dress. A
definite statement design which all other designers are trying to do and grab
a bit of as well. Maybe because were heading towards the end of the pandemic,
more and more and people want to get rid of the sweatpants and dress up again,
celebrating life together. With this collection Di Petsa is delivering in this
and fulfills the needs of strolling around the beach back on holiday again,
feeling strong and sexy at a night out in the club or wearing a classy
feminine slipdress in a restaurant.
