After creating huge flower gowns for SS24, Francesco Risso kept those same silhouettes for AW24, this time with a touch of animalism. But rather than land on this new aesthetic through defined inspiration, Risso eschewed moodboards for a more abstract approach. Returning to the “interior zoo” of his childhood – one of rummaging the wardrobes of his grandparents and siblings – this season the designer “[forbade] any images or references from seeping into our design process.”
