Federico Curradi, who this season showed in Florence instead of Milan, is one of Italy's brightest new talents
Federico Curradi, who this season showed in Florence instead of Milan, is one of Italy's brightest new talents — and surely its most assured colorist — but he prefers to work under the radar, marching at his own pace. He deserves more exposure, because his merging of artisanal flair, ease and sensitivity is outstanding. He did fishing and sportswear this season, delivering loose silhouettes that felt simultaneously poetic and pragmatic, and hence very fresh.
