Stanzione, a businesswoman and entrepreneur herself, saw the need for a brand in the market that offers a contemporary wardrobe with attention to detail. &#8220;I felt the need for a collection that accompanied me all day, representing both my femininity and my strength,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Stefano-Citron-e-Federico-Piaggi-Ritratto-di-Pasquale-Abatista-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Stefano-Citron-e-Federico-Piaggi-Ritratto-di-Pasquale-Abatista-.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Stefano-Citron-e-Federico-Piaggi-Ritratto-di-Pasquale-Abatista--320x217.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Stefano-Citron-e-Federico-Piaggi-Ritratto-di-Pasquale-Abatista--560x380.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Creative directors of Albag\u00eda, Stefano Citron and Federico Piaggi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To make her vision come to life, Stanzione entrusted the creative direction of her project to designers Federico Piaggi and Stefano Citron, both veterans in the fashion world. After stints at Valentino, Mila Sch\u00f6n and Krizia, the duo helmed the creative direction of Gianfranco Ferr\u00e8 and consulted for brands including Piazza Sempione, Les Copains and Sonia Rykiel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the brand&#8217;s first collection, which was presented in September 2018, the duo drew inspiration from photos of Helmut Newton and the androgynous femininity of Charlotte Rampling and Gia Carangi and built the collection as a black and white manifesto. Pantsuits, column dresses, and Soleil tops featured clean and very sharp lines but were intensely feminine at the same time. Materials were all-natural, including leather, silk gazar, cady, organza and raffia with interesting textures such as wicker and satin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1134\" height=\"1458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5ba63fbf531f0622035457.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5ba63fbf531f0622035457.jpg 1134w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5ba63fbf531f0622035457-800x1029.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5ba63fbf531f0622035457-320x411.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5ba63fbf531f0622035457-560x720.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5ba63fbf531f0622035457-640x823.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5ba63fbf531f0622035457-1120x1440.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1134px) 100vw, 1134px\" \/><figcaption>Albag\u00eda Spring\/Summer 2019 collection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Albag\u00eda&#8217;s latest collection for Fall\/Winter 2019 draws a stark contrast to the summer looks with sensual and very colourful pieces that cleverly play with the contrast between feminine and masculine. Oversized coats with geometric details and feather embellishments complement tailored cuts and rigorous men&#8217;s suits in unexpected materials like satin, faux leather, duchesse and satin wool. The contrast between femininity and masculinity is further strengthened with dreamy pastels and bold berry shades.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5c99fa1517995979687589-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5c99fa1517995979687589-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5c99fa1517995979687589-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5c99fa1517995979687589-1-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5c99fa1517995979687589-1-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.lambert.associates\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/5c99fa1517995979687589-1-640x960.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption> <br>Albag\u00eda Fall\/Winter 2019 collection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So far,  Albag\u00eda has already attracted the likes of Italian influencers Veronica Ferraro, Eleonora Carisi and Giorgia Gabriele, but we are sure that also the international crown will be swooning very soon.
