Antonio Marras returned to where he always returns for spring: a court in a Milan park, its concrete disappeared beneath antique carpets, guests welcome to walk in and sit down among them.

an outdoor basketball court entirely covered in layered antique carpets of varying patterns, park trees visible at the edges
The show is staged outside the designer's own headquarters, on the court he covers every season rather than a stage built new.
a military-style jacket embellished with hand-sewn crystals catching the light
A signature military jacket, crystal embroidery worked into the shoulder and collar by hand. Marras has built entire seasons out of this one contradiction — a uniform, dressed up until it stops giving orders.
a sheer floral chiffon dress, layered and slightly transparent, moving with the model's stride
Floral motifs return in chiffon thin enough to show the shape underneath — softness used as a kind of structure.
close detail of hand embroidery on fabric, thread and needle work visible
The embroidery is worked by hand in [Alghero](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Marras), the town on Sardinia's coast where Marras was born and where his father once kept a fashion boutique — the same town, not a stand-in for it.
a corseted jacket with visible lacing paired with a checkered, multilayered skirt
Corset lacing over a checkered skirt — rigor next to softness, a pairing that runs through the collection rather than sitting in one look. Transparency shows up a few looks later doing the same job from the opposite direction.

A bow, and then the carpet again underfoot.
