There are four humoral fluids: Melancholic, Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric. These are the temperaments of Magliano's Spring/Summer 2022 characters, inspired by Hippocrates' Humoral Theory. A mash up of new appearances, the central role of upcycling introduced through fabrics recycled from past seasons, new organic dyes and stylistic pastiches. The collection is enriched by a daily gesture of typical Italian good luck charms: the classic broken heart, the chains dedicated to Saint Sebastian, the lucky baby tooth.
This change of temperaments is the core narrative of the video presented for Milan Fashion Week. The models walk on a white limbo in a melancholic/phlegmatic way, gradually becoming more and more agitated and syncopated. This escalation is guided by the wind of a cinematographic machine, which more and more insistently gives drama to the walk. The choreographer Michele Rizzo organises the movements and their transformation, Tommaso Ottomano films the show, and the music is left to the improvisation of Edoardo Lovazzi, a young 12-year-old drummer.
