At the 2018 Kineo Awards press conference in Venice, Matilda De Angelis paired shimmering stripes with floral shorts, using a color-block Furla bag to connect them.
Matilda De Angelis makes two prints cooperate through color. At the Kineo Awards press conference during the 75th Venice Film Festival on September 2, 2018, she paired a red-and-black striped top with floral black shorts and a color-block Furla shoulder bag. Matilda De Angelis in patterned festival styling works through repetition rather than restraint.
The fitted top has narrow horizontal stripes with a subtle reflective finish, three-quarter sleeves, and black ruffled trim running vertically down the front. That dark center line interrupts the stripes and gives the upper half a firmer direction. Without it, the repeated horizontal pattern could have widened the look visually.
The high-waisted shorts introduce a much smaller print. Tiny red flowers and green leaves sit against black, while a narrow scalloped border finishes the short hem. The scale change matters: broad stripes above, compact florals below. Since both pieces repeat red and black, the clash feels deliberate rather than accidental.
The Furla bag sharpens that connection. Its rectangular red, black, and white panels echo the top without copying its stripe pattern, while the gold-toned hardware adds one warmer accent. Positioned across the hip, the bag becomes a clean block between two busier garment surfaces.
Minimal black ankle-strap sandals keep the lower edge light. Their thin toe and ankle straps avoid introducing another pattern or heavy shape beneath the short hem. The shoes also suit a daytime photocall more naturally than a formal evening pump would have.
For an event-led Venice Film Festival appearance, the outfit chooses personality over ceremony. This wasn’t an evening premiere, and the playful print mix fits the press-conference setting without pretending to be red-carpet formalwear.
The combination is busy, but never random: every major piece returns to the same red-and-black argument.
