Everyone knows that Benedetta Porcaroli is, or at the least was, aligned with Prada.
Nonetheless, for the ‘Vangelo Secondo Maria’ Milan photocall final week, the Italian actress ventured into surrealist vogue territory below Schiaparelli’s inventive director Daniel Roseberry.
Her Spring 2024 ensemble featured an ivory button-down shirt tucked right into a body-sculpting ruched skirt with a 3-D lobster element.
Whereas the idea is intriguing, the execution seems off, primarily attributable to Benedetta’s choice for outsized clothes. The highest half of her outfit, significantly, undermines the look.
This runway look, which pays homage to Elsa Schiaparelli’s 1937 ‘Lobster’ gown worn by Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson, was initially worn by Zendaya through the Mexico leg of her ‘Dune: Half II’ photocall.
Whereas Zendaya’s outsized shirt adhered to the runway’s styling, she maintained a proportionate match that Benedetta’s look lacks.
In the end, Benedetta’s try to promote this look falls brief. The outsized shirt disrupts the steadiness and magnificence supposed by the design, making it much less efficient in attaining the surrealist imaginative and prescient.
