Loretta Caponi Dresses: Florentine Embroidery and Lace
Loretta Caponi brings Florentine embroidery into dresses, separates and evening pieces that feel closer to heirlooms than seasonal merchandise. Loretta opened her first atelier in Borgo Ognissanti in 1967 after learning embroidery as a child, and her early nightgowns made smocking and vivid prints feel daring rather than quaint. Today the house still treats lace, cotton, silk and handwork as the main event, with silhouettes that let the detail stay visible.
