Marco Rambaldi SS24 'Malafemmina'

Written by Fashion Tales

Another season, a new choice. With Malafemmina, Marco Rambaldi addresses the concept of freedom, starting from what has been to arrive at what will be. For this Spring/Summer 2024 Malafemmina, Marco Rambaldi turns a derogatory term into positive in the world we live in, which is afraid of  bold and free women.

A hymn to taking everything they deserve and even more, in being who they want and in doing everything possible to achieve their goals. Marco Rambaldi’s woman is a bad girl (Malafemmina in Italian) who moves freely between satin sheets and the desire to conquer the world just like Modesta, the protagonist of The Art of Joy, Goliarda Sapienza’s masterpiece. She is ready to do anything for freedom and a better life, she is not afraid of being a creature beyond gender. He’s a man and a woman at the same time.

If in the Fall/Winter 23 Rambaldi explored the people of the night, in this summer we find ourselves in the twilight which becomes a hybrid place where we can be other, different, free. A place of seduction where boundaries blur. The imagery of southern Italy is present in the collection in a transversal but never literal manner. The sunlight is filtered through crochet hooks and creates a romantic shadow on the recycled nylon tulle. One of the most characteristic prints of the collection is made of pendants which combine elements of the Christian religion such as crucifixes mixed with symbols of love, the profane and emotional sphere of the human being.
