Born from the vision of a calm Italian lake caught in a storm, strikingly filled with waves and foam, Florania’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection explores "eco-gothic."
This literary subgenre and critical framework grafts the dark atmosphere of the Gothic onto the concepts of ecocriticism, interrogating environmental anxieties and the fraught relationship between humanity and nature (as seen in works like Margaret Atwood’s *Surfacing* or Jeff VanderMeer’s *Annihilation*).
Highlighting our current dystopia, where debates over AI consciousness unfold while climate disasters are ignored, Florania asks how one might capture the "Romantic Sublime", that majestic, terrifying force of nature, and translate it onto the human form.
