Carolina Castiglioni's Plan C brand celebrates its sixth year with a refined aesthetic, expanding into menswear, shoes, bags, and jewelry while maintaining its signature utilitarian-chic style. The collection showcases Castiglioni's personal style, blending boyish elements with feminine touches, and features a bold block-color palette with contrasting accents.
Plan C is maturing. The brainchild of designer Carolina Castiglioni has reached its sixth year, refining its aesthetic and becoming more appealing—there's beauty in aging after all. Its expanded collection now encompasses menswear, shoes, bags, and jewelry, all adhering to its utilitarian-chic aesthetic. Beneath her composed exterior, Castiglioni is quite clear about her vision.
While she has softened her strict, workwear-inspired designs by incorporating a few more feminine touches, she remains faithful to her personal style. She favors a boyish, unfussy, and functional approach. Building upon her established repertoire, she expanded menswear (first presented at Pitti last season) by designing identical styles for both genders, making adjustments solely in sizing and fabric choices. Consider a classic carpenter jacket, crafted in high-end wax-coated canvas for men, and reimagined in smooth pink duchesse satin for women. Elongated into a trench coat with generous square pockets, the jacket took on a softer, feminine allure with the addition of a detachable marabou feather trim along the front. One of the collection's highlights—a long pleated gray skirt in grisaille—featured the same fluffy accent. It was paired with a geometric jacquard jumper in matching tones that Castiglioni nonchalantly tucked into the skirt's waistband. Castiglioni's creative spirit and passion for contemporary art are evident in her bold block-color palette. For outerwear, she opted for dark hues like black and deep brown for the outer shell, contrasting them with pastel accents on jumpers, detachable zippered bibs, and crisp nylon hoods. She also explored more elegant designs, while retaining her penchant for neat, architectural shapes. A prime example is an austere yet fluid burgundy dress featuring capelet sleeves that can be transformed into a scarf to tie around the neck, alongside a dramatic black cape: Plan C ventures into a soirée at La Scala
