For Spring/Summer ’23, Daniela Gregis invites us to stop and smell the roses.
The delivery is titled Rossella, a play on words that means both “little rose” and “redhead” in Italian.
Throughout the collection, she weaves a story of spring’s small details.
Daniela’s narrative begins in the garden of a secluded Bergamo estate.
She describes the mulberry tree growing out front, and the silkworms that inch along its bark to produce delicate strands of silk.
Close by, white linens simmer in large copper tubs, each dyed a sweet cream color by the same seeds that grew the fibers.
Pollen floats through the air alongside the delicate pappus of dandelions.
From there her story expands into a humble kitchen, just paces from this verdant terrace.
The warm aroma of yeast and flour rises from the fresh bread baking in the oven.
Cinnamon bark, blueberries, citrus peel and almonds litter the knotted wood counter — a hint of sweeter things to come.
On the bench, handspun cotton threads and carefully cut silk flowers lay in wait for their final place in Daniela Gregis’ spring wardrobe.
Espresso powder and flax dust the fabrics — a final, earthy touch.
