La visione estetica del corpo rivestito da una ragnatela ha sedotto sin dal passato l’animo di stilisti, costumisti, e di donne desiderose di apparire come sensuali e pericolose aracnidi. Ho scelto per voi alcune suggestive immagini che descrivono al meglio il rapporto tra questa simbologia e l’abito, fotografie che ci raccontano di una tipologia di femminilità che segue la moda del proprio tempo, incentrata sulla caratterizzazione della donna attraverso un erotismo fatale.

The aesthetic vision of the body covered by a spiderweb has seduced the soul of stylists, costume designers, and women who yearned to appear as sensual and dangerous arachnids. I have chosen for you some suggestive images that best describe the relationship between this symbolism and the dress, photographs that tell us about a special kind of femininity that follows the fashion of one’s own time, focused on the characterization of women through a fatal eroticism.
