Bikkembergs – The second line known simply as Bikkembergs white label collection, was originally conceived (1996) as a response to market demand for more basic and more accessible styles in relation to the first line. It has since evolved into a full diffusion line, which can be described as casual city wear with a distinctive fashion edge. Heavyweight fabrics and macho imagery quite literally dominate Bikkembergs’ work. His best designs convey a solidity through their layering of leather and thick knitwear while still retaining the feeling of minimalist restraint that has come to be associated with Belgian fashion. Bikkembergs, although not the most prominent of the designers who formed the Belgian avant-garde of the later 1980s, is nonetheless a significant purveyor of their ideals. His clothing consists of dark and muted-toned separates that provide strong images of modern living, although his own work does not so frequently contain the deconstructed edge of his counterparts.

Blugirl – The other face of Blumarine. The younger, more informal side. The Blugirl collection came into being in 1995, inspired by the need to create a second line as well as a collection expressly designed to convey a feminine ideal with characteristics similar to those identified with the spirit of the Blumarine collection, but for younger women between the ages of 15 and 35. It is a ready-to-wear line for girls and young women, designed by Anna Molinari. The youthful line of Blumarine, Blugirl retains its older sibling’s modern and romantic looks but with an edge that caters to a younger clientele.

From one season to the next, Roberta Scarpa takes inspiration from details of Venetian history, revisited and remade for a wardrobe in tune with the times: to neo-liberty she imparts the telematic twist of net-liberty, she redesigns the prints using doge Steno’s shorthand codes, from the Bucintoro traditions she takes the doge’s ring, soon to become an icon, like the Moretti who earned her the name of “Mistress of the Moretti”.
