Haute couture in Sardinia: Forte Village turns into the kingdom of high fashion

Haute couture at Forte Village, a style experience made of luxury, exclusivity and elegance

The elegance and quality of Italian and international high fashion meets the ancient and mysterious charm of Sardinian craftsmanship alternating styles with original and captivating concepts.

Style never goes on holiday, and no, it’s not just a question of vanity or being shallow: taking care of appearance, choosing clothes and accessories that enhance the natural beauty, is a true celebration of your own value and of freedom to express yourself, a true manifesto of your most authentic essence.

And even if you can’t judge a book simply by its cover, feeling at ease in every situation, enhancing our strengths with tailored clothes, attention to the smallest detail that guarantee a perfect fit, these factors can truly elevate every experience allowing to celebrate the joy in every little moment, which multiplies when there’s room for moments dedicated to personal attention within the daily routine, with the magic of discovering new places, near or far.

In this sense, if bringing haute couture items on holiday might seem like an excess, in reality it’s just about making a large investment in the quality of the experiences to have: whether it is exploring a new city, relaxing on a heavenly beach or going to an exclusive social event, clothing can significantly influenc ehow people experience such moments, giving that confidence and ease to feel good in your own guise.

As a matter of fact, haute couture itself (a French term used to encompass the essence of sartorial creation) is much more than a mere aesthetic question: it’s a true form of art that embodies the soul of creativity, mastery craftsmanship and luxury, allowing people to express the most genuine side of their personality through clothing and accessories, without limits or compromises.

So, wearing or shopping haute couture clothes on holiday makes people ready to face any situation, from an informal lunch to the most exclusive club, reducing the need to take vast wardrobe with you, yet allowing to travel in style, freedom and lightheartedness.

Haute couture: luxury, elegance and sustainability even on holiday

The term haute couture embodies, even phonetically, the refinement and grace that act as the common thread between the craftsmanship and the aesthetic research that underlies the creation of unique fashion garments, handmade and custom-made, the outcome of hours of meticulous work of precision and attention to detail, making the fabric a canvas and the needle and thread the tools of a very refined professional art.

Exclusivity and dedication to perfection that distinguish haute couture from common prêt-à-porter, or ready to wear fashion, making it the pinnacle of luxury and an antidote to the contemporary urge to purchase countless average-quality garments (the so-called fast fashion), driven by the sense of inadequacy generated by following volatile fashion trends to the point that, probably, in a few weeks they will have already been forgotten, leaving customers with a wardrobe full of unused clothes. So, haute couture turns into a slow and conscious fashion, inviting us to invest in high quality clothes, thus reducing the need for frequent purchases witha lower impact on the environment and savings.

Over the last few years many high fashion designers are committed to using more ecological, plant-based, recycled and recyclable materials, promoting ethical and circular production techniques, especially enhancing local excellence and craftsmanship. Choosing to purchase haute couture garments, therefore, would be an act of love for ourselves and also for our wonderful planet and all its inhabitants, small and large ones.

At the same time, fashion is also a very cultural experience: from the most cosmopolitan and fashionable city to the most picturesque and authentic seaside resort, every place has its own unique style and fashion trends, everyone can adapt their clothing to these peculiarities (even while shopping locally) to enrich the travel experience relating to the local way of looking at life through clothing. So, if Paris is synonymous with effortless elegance and Milan stands for its sophisticated avant-garde style, Sardinia can be rediscovered nowadays as the land of casual-chic, an essential but impactful style made of light fabrics, neutral shades and touches of color that blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment.

Of course, all enriched by accessories that tell stories about theworld of local craftsmanship, such as woven straw bags, leather sandals, or handmade jewels such as the delicate maninfide, the traditional Sardinian ring made up of two clasped hands enclosing a heart, which add a personal touch of authenticity to your look.

An exceptional place to experience this unique concept of Sardinian fashion style is the Forte Village Resort, a true oasis of elegance and refinement immersed in the emerald green of the Mediterranean scrub of Southern Sardinia, next to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, an award-winning facility for its high quality services and the impeccable vibes that surround everything here, from the prestigious sports academies for both adults and children to the iconic luxury boutiques, which make the Resort a relevant point of reference for high fashion enthusiasts.

A true paradise for lovers of elegance and style, who will have the opportunity to purchase and wear clothes and accessories that will enhance their beauty and make them feel special in every moment of the holiday, for example at a romantic gourmet dinner under the stars, at a party by the sea, or an aperitif, transforming even the most ordinary evening into a unique moment, adding a touch of magic and refinement to every situation.

Forte Village Resort is a place that doesn’t simply embrace haute couture, but really celebrates it, making it part of its own essence and offering a setting of luxury and refinement where this form of art can truly find expression at its top splendor.

Great attention is given to local craftsmanship with the signature pop-up store by Antonio Marras, artistic director of the French brand Kenzo for years and now head of his own brand as well as numerous design projects in collaboration with some of the most well-known fashion brands.

Another relevant novelty for 2024 is the new partnership with Kering, a prestigious French group with the mission of managing the development of multiple fashion luxury Maisons, which has always made aesthetic research and care for environment and workers its main strengths to differentiate from competitors, leading the way to a new concept of sustainable luxury.

A fortunate partnership expressed above all with the brand’s flagship projects, Kering Eyewear and Kering Beauté, that respectively aim to support the group’s Maisons develop their own range of luxury eyewear and beauty care items.
