It is no coincidence that the native places are always a source of inspiration, or the distinctive feature of someone.
His origins are a fundamental part for a designer, in this case, Antonio Marras, seems to have borrowed heavily, not only from his own experiences and studies ( Kenzo), but also and above all on his motherland, Sardinia.
Tradition is what characterizes him and that he reinterprets in a contemporary full.take for example the many brocades in the collection, combined with raglas-sleevcoats or capes, or half round neck waist coats, cut flowers and decorations remind me of clothes and Sunday clothes Sant' Efisio in Cagliari or the Feast of the Redeemer in Nuoro, or the Ride in Sassari, the latter just mentioned would associate the macramé and lace top, typical of Sardinian women.
If I look at the photographs I can also imagine the costumes and even the manufacture of textiles and prints.
This kind of juxtaposition of purely minimal outfits, as the black and clean capes, and rich and thick worked brocades, almost gives the idea of a patchwork completely revised.

Doesn't It?
Even with one of the last pictures, the trench coat with fur cuffs and a superposition of multiple layers on the front bodice, each with a different tissue, the idea of patchwork becomes even more evident.
In conclusion, what can we say, we have the prints, both in application and incorrosion on dresses and jackets; we have brocades, on velvet and not; we have fur and various other types of fabrics.

What does unite them all ?
Which is the fundamental concept?
Sardinia.
Sardinia.
Tradition.
