Antonio Marras drops first genderless lingerie capsule collection

Antonio Marras enters the world of underwear for the first time with a genderless capsule collection, unveiled during a special event at Milan Fashion Week. The project draws inspiration from 1950s lingerie, recalling a time when underwear was more than just functional—it embodied a growing awareness of the body and the self.

The ‘Nuda Veritas’ collection debuted inside the brand’s Via Montenapoleone boutique, transformed for the occasion into a theatrical space celebrating underwear and imagination. Brought to life through the artistic direction of Mauro Balletti, the environment blended live performances with digital installations, creating a vibrant and immersive atmosphere.

The 1950s marked a pivotal era when lingerie began playing a deeper role in shaping personal identity. Soft yet defined structures, clean lines, and silhouettes that embraced the body without constriction reflected a new sense of intimacy and hidden beauty—paired with strength, self-awareness, and a growing desire for self-determination.

At the core of the collection is a universal-cut ribbed tank top that naturally follows the contours of the body. A heart-shaped patch on the chest serves as both an emotional and distinctive symbol, framing the Antonio Marras logo rendered in metal hardware. Meant to be worn either under or over other garments, the tank top anchors the collection with an urban, versatile, and casual appeal.

The collection also includes two brief styles—one for men and one for women—that reinterpret iconic vintage proportions with modern, essential cuts designed for comfort. A visible elastic band bearing the logo adds a bold identity statement through a subtle design detail. The color palette deepens the narrative with refined, intimate tones: brown, black, white, écru, and the brand’s signature burgundy. Each hue evokes a personal memory, a tone that lingers on the skin like a shared story.

“I wanted to create something that spoke to the skin—not just to cover it, but to remind it of who we are,” says Marras. “Underwear is the first boundary between the body and the world; for me, it’s like a caress that remains even when no one sees it.”
