THE COLLECTION
THE VIBE
THE THEME
The Attico’s Spring 2024 debut on the Milanese catwalk was nothing short of spectacular. Picture this: A Milan street transformed into an intimate lounge setting with plush, low-rise couches, complemented by the aromatic allure of coffee cocktails and delectable finger foods. And if that ambiance wasn’t captivating enough, the collection they showcased was as robust and intoxicating as a well-brewed espresso!
Spanning a vast spectrum, the line-up oscillated between ethereal, crystal-beaded dresses that seemed to barely grace the skin, and snuggly coats that beckoned with warmth, ingeniously paired with electric-hued tights. This collection wasn’t just about clothes; it was a vivacious conversation with the multifaceted spirit of modern youth. It offered the perfect balance – appealing to the young and the young-at-heart, all the while oozing an undeniably suave aura.
Every ensemble was a story, artfully narrated from head to toe. Despite each look being distinct, The Attico achieved a harmonious blend that’s often elusive in the fashion world. Their muse? The Attico woman: vivacious, well-informed, and undeniably the heartbeat of any soirée, but with a refined edge. This collection wasn’t just another homage to evening wear; it was a bold declaration of female empowerment. It told the world that women have the right to dress with fierce confidence, embracing more than just the allure of sheer attire.

THE SHOWSTOPPER
Look #21
Stealing the limelight, one particular ensemble flawlessly epitomized The Attico’s desired equilibrium between coziness and playfulness. This outfit, adorned with an intricate array of small mirrors on a sheer bodysuit, wasn’t just visually striking; it held profound symbolism. Each mirror reflected fragments of the surrounding world, resonating with the brand’s vision of transitional attire. With every gaze it drew, this show-stopping look was a living testament to the brand’s ethos and the nuanced artistry behind their collection.
THE DIRECTION
THE QUOTE
We titled the show ‘The Morning After.’ For us, it captures that transitional moment between the events of the preceding night and the promise of the day ahead. We chose to frame this moment during the day to harness the street’s vibrant energy – a dynamic space that mirrors a fluid reality. This is what inspired our ‘salotto in plein air’ concept, aiming to evoke an intimate, homey atmosphere outdoors. Every woman embodies her unique personality and style, mirroring the diverse tapestry of individuals one encounters on the street.
THE WRAP UP
In wrapping up, The Attico’s Spring 2024 debut is a resounding testament to fashion’s power to narrate stories and evoke emotions. ‘The Morning After’ beautifully captures that ephemeral bridge between the allure of the night and the dawn of new possibilities. Their seamless blend of street energy with elevated style and an eye toward the future is not just a style statement, but a narrative of the multifaceted modern woman. The designs echo the eclectic and vibrant tapestry of personalities one witnesses on any bustling street. My compliments to The Attico for delivering not just a collection but a compelling tale of empowerment, elevation, and effervescent youth.
