Love over-the-top floral prints? Well, then there’s no question that you’re going to fall for the AW20 collection from Collina Strada. Appropriately titled, “Garden Ho,” this collection is quirky, bold, and yes, we would say it’s a little avant-garde, too. While yes, the excessive floral prints probably make the biggest statement, some of the other dramatic details include oversized silk blue sets, tops that make use of nipple coverings, elbow-length gloves, velvet floor-length dresses paired over oversized hoodies, and no shortage of pattern mixing to keep your eyes entertained from start to finish. In addition, we would also say that the casting of this runway show is worth noting. Not your typical lineup of models, this collection is clearly meant to make a statement about beauty coming in all shapes and forms. You’ll even find a pregnant model in the lineup, and some instances where babies are walked down the runway, giving this collection a distinctly feminine feel, but without anything looking too overtly girly or precious. Instead, there’s more of an organic and raw femininity to this lineup, which we think works perfectly with the brand’s aesthetic. If you’re interested in seeing how this all plays out, we can’t say enough good things about this Collina Strada Autumn/Winter 2020 release.
