Antonio Marras desired to rediscover his root

Right from his earliest collections, Marras has taken an attitude towards the past of his land that more unscrupulous call disruption: a term which contains the idea of "breaking" the mould by rediscover forgotten element.
Antonio Marras has been always using the elements picked up from his island of birth. For example, the in the menswear collection for spring-summer 2005, dedicated to Tore Burruni, a boxer form Alghero who was famous in the fifties.
Antonio Marras who belong to a "failed nation" and are a prolong colonial past under his consciousness, this make he extremely open to theme linked to identity pr otherness.
in his house-cum-studio a whole room is filled with books devoted to Sardinian cultural movement and artistss who works, lives and projects he studies.
The haute courture parades Fili Lai Lai (S/S1997), Ligazzos rubios(A/W1997/1998), and Fogu. fogu(S/S1998) show intensive exploration on his culture.
his clothes do not generally echo the cuts of Sardinian costumes. Rather than that it is in their details that rediscovered past is celebrated.
