“aurora borealis”
“aurora borealis”
jacquards are like tapestries, chenille woven with rich lurex, portraying mythical stories of felines like “leopards in the stars”.
iridescent sequins and crystal bead dust coat resembling precious hand embroidery trace the horizons of glacial landscapes.
surfaces are smooth and silky for the new velvet jackets and lamé dinner jackets.
bold silhouettes in block–colours resonate in vibrant boreal shades.
dresses are sinuous and low–cut, accentuating the strong features of these new heroines.
knits are the main character, enveloping oversized shapes and soft scarves worn as stoles in soft, reflective tones: cashmere, merino, alpaca, silk, mohair...
generous nordic jacquard blankets and fringed cardigans warm up the precious silhouettes of this boreal winter of ours.
“let’s sparkle”
holiday capsule
the new forte_forte capsule reflects the shimmer and bling bling of the most glamorous time of the year.
“let’s sparkle” draws its inspiration from the iridescent reflections of a boreal night: mirrored, flowing and sinuous surfaces shine, leaving a trail of luminous powder; like stardust.
chic opulence: décolleté dresses with pure and essential shapes, evening tuxedos in elegant black and radiant ivory are enriched with fringes made of glass beads that shimmer almost like ice.
sequins, like liquid, fade into opalescent nuances of enchanted tales and magical northern lights.
evening – glow pyjamas and flowing slip dresses are adorned with jewellery made of hand – threaded beads in silver and gold tones, like precious icy corollas.
pareo belts with long, silky fringes sway on every silhouette.
available exclusively online and in forte_forte boutiques.
“forte_forte loves Borsalino”
limited edition
a special edition, an emblematic union between giada forte and the historic “Borsalino” millinery, to exemplify the values of traditional craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
the one and only master of luxury hats since 1857, “Borsalino” always honours the acclaimed quality of made in italy craftsmanship and elegance.
an authentic vocation to italian savoir faire has inspired a reinterpretation of an iconic model, where new bespoke details are added to produce a limited edition hat.
inspired by the classic beauty of the f_f autunno 2023 collection, the iconic Borsalino realized in peacock bleu, the new and exclusive colour variant, is exquisitely enriched with a crystal embroidered by hand on the tone–on–tone velvet ribbon.
forte_forte Borsalino hats are available exclusively in forte_forte boutiques and e–commerce.
forte_forte “penelope” – the ankle boot in golden lace, a shoe with a real personal story.
the interweaving of numerous openworks is created by the craftsmanship of expert hands, whose care and dedication reflect the desire to make this object a tailored piece.
the extraordinary and accurate manual craftsmanship, where each piece is conceived and assembled as a unique work of art, gives life to an iconic and precious shoe.
an overall work that reveals a path of precious creativity and manual skill, day after day, with admirable patience and infinite dedication.
the story began with a small collection of hand–finished t–shirts. grown in the fashion business, the forte brothers hail from veneto, one of the manufacturing districts in which made in italy has taken its shape and identity over the years, turning the artisanal process into an industrial one while keeping intact its values and peculiarities. giada and paolo have absorbed this ethos since childhood, in the family’s knitwear factories. giada trained at nottingham trent university, where she studied knitwear design, while paolo studied finance. after autonomous experiences in their respective fields, they decided to join forces on a project based on the values they believe in: the beauty of creativity as a filterless bond between the creator and the consumer. giada is in charge of design, paolo is the business strategist. robert vattilana, art director and giada’s life partner, is the third member of the group: the one who translates visions and sensations into images and spaces, or graphic and editorial choices. forte_forte is the offspring of the three’s joined efforts: the family name is doubled, christening the brand with an incitation that is already an expression of strength; the lower case font signals a desire for intimacy as opposed to ostentations.
