On the penultimate day of London Fashion Week, 16Arlington delivered a triumphant show, ahead of offerings from David Koma and Fashion East.
The 16Arlington AW22 collection was succinctly titled “Tears”, following the passing of the house’s co-founder Federica “Kikka” Cavenati in October 2021. It was therefore the bittersweet task of her fiancé and co-creator Marco Capaldo to complete the collection in tribute to her. The resulting offering had a fitting sense of luminosity, which the show notes attest was inspired by Cavenati’s “playful wit” and “generosity”.
