Under the sun of the Riviera: Crida’s SS 23 collection
Rimini, Riccione, Cesena, Forlì but also Gabicce and Cattolica: after Liguria and Lombardy, Crida’s journey in Made in Italy arrives in Emilia Romagna, the region that inspired the new spring-summer 2023 collection signed by Daniela Palazzi and Cristina Parodi.
The art of hospitality, sympathy, optimism and good food that characterize this land are immediately reflected in the vast range of bright colors: bright pink, apple green, golden yellow, burnt but also light blue and electric blue. The red of the Maranello model cannot be missing, a tribute to the earth, symbol of speed and engines.
The dress is always the absolute protagonist of the season, in the long and midi version and in the double version of outfit suitable for an elegant event, but absolutely wearable during the day, by changing the accessories.
Plain silk, crêpe de chine and satin dominate the collection, but for the first time two different nuanced patterns in very light georgette also appear: the model Montesole sleeveless with rainbow colors and the Santarcangelo, wider and more fluid dominated by a lace print in two very bright shades.
The San Marino model in fil coupé silk in shades of leaf green is a hymn to the small and very ancient republic that dominates the slopes of Mount Titano. A region of splendid nature but also of art and culture. The crêpe de chine and chiffon long dress is dedicated to Beatrice d’Este, Ludovico il Moro’s very young wife, passionate about painting and fashion, which represents our ideal of elegance and simplicity.
Ferrara and Bologna give their name to fresh and easy dresses in striped cotton, while the seersucker with check print used in the high-waisted skirt with a small shirt and in the dress with bardot shoulders recalls a 60s allure, when the myth of the Riviera Romagna exploded all over the world.
There is never a lack of polka dots among Crida dresses. In addition to the classic contrasting black and white, a beautiful caramel jacquard printed with cream polka dots also stands out. And then plumetis cotton in blue jeans with red polka dots for the lightest beach dresses.
Modern elegance but also ancient tradition: thanks to the collaboration with the Pascucci printing house, a historic artisan workshop that has been producing hand-printed Romagna canvases in Gambettola since 1826, two special dresses are born, whose designs remind us of the importance of craftsmanship that no machine modern day can never match.
