Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa FW26 - alla prima
Description
Girl with a Pearl Earring (c. 1665) is a painting renowned for its captivating exemplar of technique and composition, but what intention lies behind her softened gaze?
“alla prima” explores the poignant romance of spontaneity, obsession, and devotion. Opened by Designer Daf Nimkovsky, Designer Nicole Hadfield (Oosterom) invites you to immerse in the unseen intimacy of requited escapism. Dusk to midnight, a yearning for passion and purpose, and the feminine resistance to codependency in consummate love. Draped in garments that prioritise craftsmanship, we reimagine classical romance with modern perspective, considering historically forbidden love with freedom to overcome.
As expressions of adoration reach a final limit of inner turmoil, “alla prima” paints a picture of true indulgence.
