Alessandro Enriquez Fall/Winter 2021-22: Cinema and Folk Inspirations

Alessandro Enriquez presented his fall/winter 2021-22 menswear collection at Milan Fashion Week Men's, blending folk and pop elements with cinematic references. The collection draws on Italian literature and film, notably Luchino Visconti's adaptation of "Il Gattopardo" by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, with the ball scene between Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale inspiring vibrant citrus-toned garments. Enriquez also incorporates imagery from Federico Fellini's films, including "I clowns" and "La dolce vita," and references Ferzan Özpetek's opulent table settings. The collection features genderless silhouettes, oversized shirts with '90s pockets, rose prints, and jacquard fabrics. A collaboration with Elio Fiorucci's brand Love Therapy, now led by his sister Floria, adds whimsical motifs like gnomes and deer with tricolor touches. The collection emphasizes social connection and togetherness, a response to pandemic-induced isolation.
