In the secret heart of a Roman palazzo, where gold turns to silence and painting becomes the language of the walls, Antonio Grimaldi elects the Chinese Salon of Palazzo Besso as both inspiration and setting for the collection.
A rare, almost hidden jewel, covered with large hand-painted panels of Oriental inspiration, populated by flowers and birds suspended on golden backgrounds, which welcomes the Alta Moda Collection as a natural extension of its own aesthetic soul.
The garments become narrative surfaces, where floral embroideries inspired by Thai craftsmanship take shape in three-dimensional volumes of raffia and organza.
Structured fabrics such as duchesse and crêpe cady alternate with weightless chiffon and tulle, while fringes, crystals, and sculptural ruffles animate the silhouette.
Raffia kaftans, embroidered nude looks, and micro-scale metal corsetry create an aesthetic of warrior-like femininity, elegant, independent, and self-aware.
Each view tells a different story, revealing hidden embroideries and unexpected asymmetries. Antonio Grimaldi’s Alta Moda unveils itself through movement and over time, shifting perspective with every gaze.
