Following her critically acclaimed SS26 collection unveiled at Milan Fashion Week, Francesca Liberatore once again affirms her global stature as she takes center stage to close the Italian Haute Couture event in Tashkent, curated by Stefano Dominella under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Italian Embassy.
Liberatore’s participation in this international showcase underscores her role as a visionary ambassador of Made in Italy, merging artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural dialogue. Her work continues to transcend borders, resonating with audiences as an emblem of timeless elegance and contemporary relevance.
The Francesca Liberatore Couture collection presented in Tashkent embodied a rebellion against the constraints of the body, transforming garments into instruments of freedom and expression.
Each piece reflected a dynamic interplay of contrasts — velvet and crepe de chine, macramé and lace, pequin satins and florals — a tactile symphony that spoke to both tradition and innovation.
The silhouettes danced between structured and fluid, creating a wave-like rhythm of motion. Color harmonies of purple, burgundy, pink, and brown, interwoven with ecru, ice, Turkish red, and peacock blue, painted a rich and sophisticated palette.
The result was an atmosphere that evoked the Belle Époque — an era of opulence and artistic fervor — mirroring the complexity and decadence of the present day.
Liberatore’s creative philosophy is deeply rooted in the human experience and the collective power of creation. “The fundamental part of my fashion ‘journeys’ is to momentarily change the lives of the people I’m with,” she explains. “From the assistants I find on site, interns and professionals, to the international audience — we are united by an aesthetic project that transcends culture and nationality. When this connection succeeds, as it did this time, fashion truly gains its profound meaning.”
With her Tashkent finale, Francesca Liberatore not only celebrates the excellence of Italian couture but also redefines fashion as a bridge between heritage and humanity, where beauty becomes a universal language.
