Arturo Obegero imagines a universe based on a fictional dance company, the Academia. Obegero took inspiration from 5 of his favourite classic ballet plays – Manuel de Falla's El Amor Brujo, Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Jean-Louis Vaudoyer's Le Spectre de la Rose, Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, and Christoph Willibald Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice – to create clothes that speak not only visually but emotionally.
Silhouetting is a key part of the style vocabulary Obegero is creating. With ACADEMIA AW20, the designer sharpens his signature high-waisted silhouette – with an emphasis on cinched silk satin waistlines – and proposes shapes evoking or creating movement.
