Mystical Harbour

Mystical Harbour Amotea’s SS23 collection evokes a mystical sense of freedom and happiness by drawing inspiration from a collective imagery of nostalgia for trips to iconic Hippie counter-culture destinations such as Goa, Ibiza, and La Onda Chicana in Mexico, where wonderful parties were a collective ritual of love and fraternity.
With Amotea, Diletta Amodei celebrates a collective way of looking at the sea. We also searched the Mediterranean for images of endless beaches and a mystical sense of absolute happiness to create a poetic choral song made of loom-woven materials and craftsmanship.
The harbor is the symbolic place of our poetry, where the narrative of the collection begins as well as the metaphor of our state of mind, in which we welcome different cultures to celebrate the diversity that life offers us.
The collection aims to celebrate the sense of community and diversity, ranging from resort garments to experiments in knitwear and a segment dedicated to occasion-wear.
Tie dye, crochet, and an experimental stitching method in floating knits are added to Amotea's iconic patterns, to build a contemporary summer wardrobe idea, ranging from tops to palazzo pants, from coordinated sets to long dresses. Prints echo the colors of psychedelic graphics: yellow, lime, orange and aquamarine.
Like for every collection, there is a flower identifying the season. In Resort 23 it's the daisy that we find printed on linen and handmade in crochet as an appliqué on knitwear.
The lookbook is part of this narrative as well, being shot in a small Italian port such as Framura in Liguria, Italy, as a symbol of a Mediterranean-ness that builds bridges to other places and welcomes all cultures.
