CATERINA CARANI

The Chrysalis collection for the fall/winter 2025 season is a journey through the metamorphosis of the Cavolaia, inspired by the inherent transformation that accompanies the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

 

The Cavolaia, a small lepidopteran, is emblematic of our exploration of nature and its capacity for rebirth. This insect, through its life divided into four stages of metamorphosis, embodies our vision of adolescence as a stage of growth and change.

 

The collection captures the essence of each stage of metamorphosis. As the yellowish-green eggs represent the beginning of the Cabbageworm's journey, the stage of identity in formation symbolizes youth and childhood. Larvae, or caterpillars, represent the period when adolescents explore the world around them. Chrysalises, or pupae, mark the crucial transition from adolescence to adulthood. As butterflies emerge from the chrysalis, they symbolize the completion of the growth process.

​

The collection at this stage reflects the acquisition of skills, the formation of mature connections and the building of a solid foundation for the future. As butterflies emerge from the chrysalis, they symbolize the completion of the growth process. The stage of adulthood is represented through elegant and refined designs, symbolizing maturity, independence and personal fulfillment.

 

The fundamental message of the collection is to listen to oneself during the changes and flow with the growth process. Each piece tells the unique story of the wearer, celebrating the beauty of each stage of personal metamorphosis.
