Alessandro Enriquez presents his new Spring Summer 2025 collection, a tribute to the union and love between the beautiful French Côte d’Azur and the Italian coasts, thus celebrating the essence of the Mediterranean with his summer proposal. A journey between the two countries, telling the beauty of traditions and modernity, with a strong message of sharing.
French bistros meet Italian trattorias in Enriquez’s vision, while the “parole parole parole”, interpreted in Italian by Mina and in French by Dalida, become a source of inspiration for the new collection that tells a special love, the one between Italy and France, decanting the places steeped in colors, scents and timeless memories of the 1950s and 1960s. A journey between love stories and endless kisses, like Robert Doisneau’s iconic shot, capable of capturing the essence of perfect love.
Serving as a common thread are the Mediterranean hues of summer, as if woven into a canvas in which the vibrant yellow tones of the Amalfi Coast lemons alternate with the delicate yellows of the mimosas of Bormes, passing through the pinks, reds, blues and oranges reminiscent of sunrises and sunsets, to the pastel hues dear to painters who succumbed to the charm of the landscapes, the sweetness of the climate and the reflection of the lights dancing on the waves.
Clippings from French and Italian newspapers, graphically reinterpreted by Alessandro, are combined with designs of enchanted coastlines, watercolored with delicate and light hues, along with all-over jasmine and red apples, tokens of love. The new patterns find perfect harmony in the use of precious fabrics such as silks, crisp cotton poplin, linen, crêpe de chine and bright duchesse, sealing the essence of the Spring Summer 2025 proposal.
The new wardrobe consists of pleated dresses that gently hug the waistline, flowing down their full length, and hyper feminine lace mini-dresses. Alongside these, maxi kaftans, presented in both printed and monochrome versions, assert themselves as the stars of the collection, along with the iconic pleated skirts, the brand’s must-have. Rounding out the season’s offerings are vichy and striped looks that evoke the retro charm of Mediterranean summers, further enhancing the versatile and chic spirit of the new collection.
To enhance this season’s French accent, Alessandro collaborates with the Côte d’Azur territorial brand of the French government’s National Tourism Committee, dedicating his patterns to the Riviera’s most iconic places. These magical sceneries, which have made France world-famous, come to life in this new summer offering: lemon drawings mixed with stripes and the slogan “Côte d’Azur Côte d’Amur” blend harmoniously in the collection, celebrating the beauty and charm of the most romantic country in the world.
“I have always loved the cities of the French Riviera, from Cannes to Nice and Saint-Tropez. There are magical colors and atmospheres that remind me of Sicilian ones. Combining two languages, two cultures, two countries through drawings and love has been a wonderful experience for me. With the brand Côte d’Azur we are presenting this beautiful initiative both in Italy and France.
In Paris, the collection will be displayed during fashion week at the Samaritaine Department Store, celebrating love in its purest form, without limits or boundaries,” says Alessandro Enriquez.
To match the looks of the new line, the designer presents the Alessandro Enriquez x Spektre capsule, a model of sunglasses available in three different color with a couvette that refers to the iconic French shades.
In the collection’s photos there are also the Fashion Hats, straw hats masterfully hand-woven in Italy by Patrizia Fabri Hats as a tribute to Made in Italy, the main ingredient of Alessandro’s collections, who has made Italy his continuous source of inspiration over the years.
