The Inspiration:
Danilo Gabrielli’s AW13 collection was inspired by the medieval period of 1200 – 1300.
Sovereignty was coveted during this period. The clothing and fashion during this Medieval era of the Middle Ages was dominated and highly influenced by the Kings and Queens of the era. It was heavily influenced by the introduction of fine silks, satins, precious stones, gold, silver, brocades and other expensive material only available by law to the upper class women and were adorned on women’s clothing.
Danilo has created this modern version of this era with richly decorated pieces, massive belts,
dresses with tight bodices, leather corsets, flowing capes and constructed coats. His ‘Glam Gothic’ collection is designed to make women feel strong and confident.
