Slawn & Soldier
Marni's creative vocation is once again expressed in the Fall/Winter Vol. 1 collection through the collaboration with artists Slawn and Soldier.
In this first release of the collection, the creativity of these Nigerian-born artists and Creative Director Francesco Risso extends across garments through few, powerful gestures.
Wolves, tears, and tulips—along with other signifiers—punctuate the selection of shirts, chemisier dresses, skirts, and boxer shorts in striped cotton poplin, in a succession of prints and applications that enhance their materiality.
The intarsia knitwear, in vibrant colors, faithfully evokes the rich texture of tempera paints, expressing through the yarns the artistic impulse that guided the artists during their residency in London.
A soft brushed cotton jersey gives life to sweatshirts, t-shirts, slouchy shorts, and bags.
Captured in the shadows and sunlight of 4 Princelet Street, an old Georgian house layered with East London myths, the campaign sees Soldier and Slawn wearing the collection as memory and artifact. Guided by Francesco Risso, the editorial becomes a closing ritual: one last flare of the Pink Sun before it sets.
The artistic residency, which took place in September 2024 within a studio in East London, materialized in large canvases that served as the backdrop for the collection's runway presented in Milan, and permeated the collection itself in the form of prints, motifs, and embroidery.
