The dark romanticism of the Fall/Winter collections of 2019/20

The dark romance of the Fall/Winter collections of 2019/20

Black, blood red, glitter, brocade, satin, ruffles... all dark and obscure details that have been peeking out of the new fall/winter collections of 2019/20. The different combinations recall the romanticism era: flowers, fabrics, luxurious materials, baroque traits, bows. All of this leaves behind the "sweetness" that this era brings, becoming completely dark.

Between the materials chosen for this season, we have: brocade, with bright floral patterns; ruffles both on women's skirts and men's jackets; silk used to decorate and highlight details; lurex, with a metallic aspect, for skirts and cardigans.

If these are details, there are also all the materials of a dark obscure style: organza to make dresses lighter; velvet, preferably dark and of course, last but not least, lace, in great quantity and for every little detail. 

It's a classic style combination, but in the latest year it had never been so dominant on the catwalks. Bows both large and small are part of this style, small embroideries and flowers are bright details in a black sky of dresse; the transparencies of course highlight the sexy aspect of this style. 

The beauty and particolarity of this style also lie in the fact that it is a cauldron that contains many different styles. If up to this point we've talked about the elegant and striking side of the dark romanticism, there's also an excessive sexy part worth mentioning.

An example are the dominant colours of these collections: black and red, intense and heavy. As well as lacquer, used to make long trenches or tight dresses that follow the lines of the body. Moreover, bustiers are the icon of the combination between sensuality and excessiveness.

Apart from bustiers, other accessories and pieces are: classical combat boots, with a thick sole and laces; chains used as necklaces, belts or bracelets; earrings and heavy outerwear, always present.
