"[4] With a slightly folkloric feeling, design details included puffed shoulders, long sleeves, hemlines that fell just above the ankle, floral prints, and velvet flower appliqués.

[8] According to Vogue UK, the designers wanted to "focus on globetrotting and searching for one's roots" with "rediscovered local allure transformed into global synthesis" taking in "an imaginative journey, exploring different knowledge, inconographies and traditions with a keen eye and rapid movements" while " indulging in tactile artisan craftsmanship", which sounds more than a little convoluted in words but played out beautifully in clothes.

According to Vogue Runway, the collection was inspired by many of Italy's patrimonies, from its antiquities to its kitsch, country interiors influenced a series of colorful printed dresses with vivid flowers and arabesque forms.

[37] The show notes described the collection as the "Grand Tour--a voyage, an educational trip taken by cultured young Europeans to explore the art, philosophy and traditions of Italy."

Silhouettes included tailored linen jackets; dresses in Baroque scarf prints; florals that looked like stained glass;[39] backless pinafores; intricate eveningwear, and embroidered gowns.

[42] Ciara, Johannes Huebl, Olivia Palermo, Giancarlo Giammetti, Elena Perminova, Hannah Bronfman, Ulyana Sergeenko, Ji-Woo Choi, and Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor attended the show.

Floge's influence gave way to a-line silhouettes, gold-leaf effects, and quilted velvet; while Celia Birtwell assisted with the dragon motif.

A-line dresses, maxi panels, flared bottoms, sheaths, tunics, trench coats, and capes were accented by pleated ruffles, jet beading, and metallic wire.

[45][49] Kate Mara, Garance Doré, Elena Perminova, Chiara Ferragni, Anna Dello Russo, Nicky Hilton, and Valeria Golino attended the show.

This season the designers were inspired by Africa, more specifically the humanitarian crisis that has led to thousands of refugees fleeing Senegal, Nigeria, Eritrea, Mali, and Gambia for Italy.

The African influence translated to the textiles and design details with tribal scenes, leather treatments, ceramic pagan necklaces, beaded Masai-derived patterns, bold peacock feather trims, and indigenous motifs.

According to the show notes, Chiuri and Piccioli aimed to "offer a reply to chaos and to the uncertainty of present times, stepping away from virtuality in order to discover the essence of the contemporary in the unrepeatable physicality of an emotion: in experiences that need to be truly lived, in person, and that no digital instrument can fully reinstate.

"[60] Critics lauded the collection's variety—a belted gold velvet dress layered over a blush turtleneck; a silver fringed sweater atop a gold-fringed skirt; and bad-girl black swans in tulle, leather and gold-star embroideries.

[64] Sofia Sanchez de Betak, Giancarlo Giammetti, Melanie Thierry, Jeanne Damas, Miroslava Duma, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Karen Elson, Jessica Hart, and Dakota Fanning attended the show.

"[123][124][125] Bridget Foley of WWD describes Piccioli's belief that "Couture is about more than exquisitely wrought dresses that take forever to make and cost a fortune; that it is about a set of values of respect, aspiration and inclusivity, not in terms of purchasing power but in telegraphing messages of beauty and open-mindedness.

"[123] Despite comparisons to Valentino Garavini's 1968 All White collection, Piccioli has sought to modernize couture silhouettes by removing stiffness, incorporating more light and volume for fluidity.

This season's palette also included mauve, peach, plum before shifting to more vibrant neon hues in green, orange, and pink, while jungle and floral prints added another dimension.
