Marsèll’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, Fondamenta, plays with simplicity, stripping designs back to their core. The collection, launched at the Spiga 42 space in Milan, explores the idea of reducing objects — like shoes and bags — until only their essence remains.
For over 20 years, Marsèll has been driven by a vision of blending innovation with craftsmanship, creating minimalist leather footwear and accessories that are unmistakably Italian. Each piece is crafted using traditional techniques, ensuring that no two items are the same — a reflection of the individuality of the wearer.
The campaign, shot by Louis De Belle, marks a first for Marsèll — an exclusively still-life series that places the products centre stage. De Belle’s architectural eye turns these everyday items into art, revealing hidden details without any fuss. The imagery features the Fasma clutch, which at first glance looks like a sculpture, but is in fact a sleek, mist-coloured bag. It’s minimalist, sculptural, and expertly crafted, with soft leather and a concealed metal zip to maintain its clean lines.
Fasma is a fresh evolution of Marsèll’s iconic Fantasma line, a collection that explores the brand’s ongoing quest for ‘point zero’— that perfect balance of form and function. The clutch embodies this journey, challenging the idea of how far a design can be simplified while still remaining functional and beautiful.
