Broken House

By PAP Magazine Editorial

Broken House summons a ghost-story atmosphere where couture emerges from ruin and miniature worlds. The most arresting image shows a figure holding a dark, gabled house-roof over her face, framed by billowing pale-blue tulle sleeves and a voluminous skirt that balloon against a corroded interior backdrop. The garments featured—Kickxiia Dumort, Serena Gaudenzio, Angela Bonitatibus, Juri Luciani, Ilenia D'Ascenzo, Bianca Pannofino, Francesca Pellegrini—bring a sculptural softness to the decay, their layered fabrics catching muted daylight filtered through peeling walls and rusted fixtures. Another frame stages the figure inside an actual dollhouse, wooden furniture and a tiny rocking horse surrounding her in a rose-beige chamber, while she wears a ruffled pink confection and floral-print leggings. The editorial oscillates between life-size dereliction and diorama-scale fantasy, suggesting a narrative in which haute construction and architectural collapse mirror each other. Palette and light remain deliberately hushed—dusty mauves, charcoal blacks, powdery blues—anchoring the surreal staging in a tangible, textured melancholy.
