BABBU arose in 2005 from Cristina Onofri’s creative
mind, who, fond of design from a tender age, has decided to give a shape and
texture to her illustration creating her first collection of accessorizes and
bags.
Her first creations have been noticed by Daniela
Poletti, owner of Vetrofuso, who advised her to exhibit them at “Who’s next” in
Paris, a fashion show dedicated to new designers, gaining a great success.
Shortly after Cristina started to design a clothing
collection as well: every item is handmade and reflects her idea of fashion
untied from trends.
From the very beginning her clothing collections had
a remarkable success in the foreign markets, especially in France, England and Japan.
Her Autumn/Winter 2012-13 collection has a punchy taste and is directly inspired from the 1990s.
The tattoo-clad models strutted down with an Amy Winehouse attitude and a beehive coupe wearing knitted garments.
All the clothes in the collection are treated
in detail, bringing to light the importance of hand-working: crocheting and
embroidery embellish the knits and woven garments, composed mainly of fine
materials such as mohair, merino wool, silk and woven loop pile, which we find
once again in shades mostly ranging from black to ivory, bordeaux and
turquoise.
Last summer kites have been stored in the attic: the
designer for this Autumn/Winter collection is back on earth drawing inspiration
from the Tulip flower.
Not everyone knows this, but the flower that
represents true love is the Tulip, through which BABBU gives that touch of
romance that has always distinguished its creations.
