The high priestesses of hedonistic glamour at The Attico may exude confidence and style, but even they have their moments of uncertainty. Their latest collection captures the essence of being all dressed up with nowhere to go, a feeling we can all relate to at times.
Picture yourself in a stunning see-through sequined dress and sky-high stilettos, with a headdress adorned with feathers fit for a showgirl. Yet, instead of a glamorous event, you find yourself wandering from the dressing room to the kitchen. It’s a common scenario, whether you’ve just ended a relationship or simply embracing your inner diva. The Attico embraces the idea that being overdressed for everyday life is a statement in itself, a declaration that you are living above the mundane, always ready for a fabulous party that has yet to be planned.
The collection, curated by designers Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, celebrates eccentricity as a form of self-expression. Even mundane tasks in the kitchen become a performance when you’re clad in a black leather blouson over a taffeta mini dress, flipping omelettes in style. Impracticality is embraced, with elaborate headpieces and dazzling ensembles taking center stage.
The intentional undone look is a signature of The Attico, seen in pieces like a sequined midi skirt paired with a suede blouson or a leather waistcoat juxtaposed with a ballerina skirt. Thigh-high leather boots stand in for trousers, completing a look that is both daring and sophisticated. The Dream Party You Never Attended collection is a nod to the extravagant and unexpected, with masquerade headdresses adding a touch of whimsy to each ensemble.
While the idea of staying in and cooking may seem mundane, for an Attico girl, it’s an opportunity to seduce and captivate. Every outfit is designed to make a statement, ensuring that even the simplest tasks are done in style. The omelette may not stand a chance against the allure of The Attico’s designs, but who says you can’t be both glamorous and domestic at the same time?
