Gender differences lose importance as pale, shadowy figures, forgetful of their
masculine or feminine connotations, take on vampire-like identities.
"A man as thin as a windswept Northern steeple, a Max von Sydow in The
Seventh Seal." to quote Quirino Conti, among the first in Italy to interpret
these atmospheres in subdued terms for Krizia. Zandra Rhodes, Jean Paul Gaultier,
Galliano for Dior, Thierry Mugler with his coffin-handbags, Dolce e Gabbana
everyone, sooner or later, is seduced by "evil". Bandits, gypsies, gallows and
cabalists, mysterious caves and ill-famed inns, scabrous love affairs and
diabolical apparitions like in The Possessed by Witold Gombrowicz.
