The collection stems from the purity, the wondrous gracefulness and the multi-coloured palette of flowers. Their intense colours, shapes and fragrance are expressed through a series of unique patterns and the striking visual effect associated with the world of Antonio Marras, for a poetic, lightweight and fluid look. Unusual stripes, checks and damasks combine with printed or embroidered tiny flowers, bouquets and intricate ramage patterns that represent Ferula and other typical Sardinian flora.
The collection showcases flowy dresses, sinuous silhouettes, tailored suits, and oversized jackets in yellow, off-white, military green, biscuit, black, and bold pink. Saturated tones blend with soft sage green and pale pink, creating striking contrasts, while fresh fabrics like lace and satin evoke the lightness of spring flowers.
Fior di Sardegna
The new Antonio Marras Resort 25 collection is titled “Fior di Sardegna” [Flowers of Sardinia] in honor of the debut novel by renowned writer Grazia Deledda, encapsulating a range of feminine philosophies.Various feminine philosophies serve as the foundation of the collection: poetic thought merges with the passion of Eva Mameli Calvino, the first woman in Italy to earn a degree in botany, dedicating her life to plants.
The artful layering of striking and simple forms, and essential, precious materials delivers an opulence that is balanced with rigour, for a romantic yet decisive mood across the collection.
While the connection to nature and Antonio Marras’s native Sardinia lies at the core, the collection also nods to the sense of evolution, dreams, and freedom that defined the Seventies, embracing an aesthetic of change and, finally, completing the circle, the poetic spirit of those times.
Bloom is Result to meet a Flower
And casually glance
Would cause one scarcely to suspect
The minor Circumstance
Assisting in the Bright Affair
So intricately done
Then offered as a Butterfly
To the Meridian
To pack the Bud oppose the Worm
Obtain its right of Dew
Adjust the Heat elude the Wind
Escape the prowling Bee
Great Nature not to disappoint
Awaiting Her that Day —
To be a Flower, is profound
Responsibility.
- Emily Dickinson
To be a flower is profound responsibility. And so, just as Emily Dickinson recounts in her verses, Antonio Marras conceives the new 2025 Resort Collection.
