We know Sandro Ferrone from his main collection, the curvy Sweet Lola style and the series of wonderful accessories, all rigorously Made in Italy: the Roman designer, rewarded with a Cavaliere del Lavoro honour in 2005, reveals that the secret of his success lies in his pleasure for life’s daily activities.

Elena Santarelli is the perfect testimonial for the style,…

The designer was born in New York but she is of South-American descent, she has Venezuelan origins. Since she was very young, her free and independent character had the upper hand, and this characteristic will then prove to be essential - as well as her strong personality - to the purposes of success in the fashion system. And the time dedicated to the discovery of the best designers and their dressmaking ability will prove to be determining. On the trail of these artists “know how” Norisol will start travelling across Europe, from Spain to Italy, from England to France to get the opportunity of working with some of the most appreciated talents. Back to the U.S., she will treasure such a huge heritage of experience for the creation of her…

URBAN FEVER The night skyline of New York is the backdrop and inspiration for the colour palette, which chooses the tones of urban blacks and greys taken directly from the skyscrapers of Manhattan and the golden glitter of the lights and signs that light up the city. A dynamic view of everyday life, dressed in comfortable clothes with impeccable fitting, the waists tightened by obi belts and enriched by ripples of fabric that give movement, their Japanese rigour offset by the opulence of gold brocade. The must-have garment? The jacket, declined in all ways. Lo skyline notturno newyorkese come sfondo e come ispirazione per la palette cromatica, che sceglie i toni urbani dei neri e grigi prelevati direttamente dai grattaceli di Manhattan e i luccichii dorati delle luci e delle…

WOMEN IN BLACK Total black at Alexander Wang who translates the single colour choice into garments with the usual sporty features but laden with dark emotions, hovering between punk and conceptual minimalism of Japanese mould. Thin metal chains give a sense of coherence by defining outlines and edges and by brightening up the only apparent flatness of a total black look with technical high performance materials and macro details. A twist for the finale: maxi bomber jackets and parkas with wide hoods as bright as crumpled metal plates. Nero assoluto sulla passerella di Alexander Wang, che traduce l’omologazione cromatica in capi dalle consuete fisionomie sportive, ma carichi di sentimenti noir, in bilico tra derive punk e minimalismo concettuale di stampo nipponico. Sottili catene metalliche a dare coerenza alla collezione, definendo…

WHAT WOMEN WANT Uniting the world of American sportswear with that of the beautiful Alida Valli of Luchino Visconti’s Senso is possible, if the creator is Alessandro Dell’Acqua: his new collection is a dialogue between a feminine sensuality and the deep antithesis of a male universe, between precision and casual, technicality and preciousness. Coats made of knitted jacquard that look like eighteenth century tapestry, three-dimensional floral patterns on poplin, gold dresses of baroque embroidery and fur collars matched with a barbed fabric, lace gloves and hoodie jackets: watch out for unexpected twists in this fascinating icon of femininity. Unire il mondo dello sportswear americano con quello della bellissima Alida Valli di Senso di Luchino Visconti è possibile, se il creatore è Alessandro Dell’Acqua: la sua nuova collezione è un dialogo…

SWEET MARILYN Timeless elegance, beauty and intelligence: a praise to an erudite and intensely carefree Marilyn Monroe, captured in a photo on the beach next to the ocean in a soft blanket that embraces her gently. It is all the sweetness of that image that Max Mara wants to convey in its bright coloured collection: coats are worn in a sensual way, dresses are petticoats, corsets and skirts contrast with masculine bombers, peacoats, camel duffel coats and sweatshirts made of cashmere, alpaca, quilted silk and lace that the American actress loved to wear with her seductive and unique femininity. Eleganza senza tempo, bellezza e intelligenza: un elogio a una Marilyn Monroe dai toni eruditi e intensamente spensierati, catturati in una foto sulla spiaggia accanto all’oceano in una soffice coperta che…

OVER THE RAINBOW Geometry, refraction and optical illusion: reality is seen through a rainbow lens that alters and manipulates it in crisp lines, rhythmic movements and metallic flashes, modelling a postmodernist psychedelia with urban and borderline reflections. The fabric is a narrative of surfaces and cuts, a counterpoint of weavings and decorations in faded and transformed denim, bright and escapist lurex and accessories that unbalance any balance: nothing is left to its natural state. The aesthetics of Marco De Vincenzo ascends to the catwalk in all its complex nonconformist tension. Geometria, rifrazione e illusione ottica: la realtà è vista attraverso lenti arcobaleno che la alterano e la manipolano in linee nitide, movimenti ritmici e bagliori metallici modellanti una psichedelia postmodernista dai riflessi urbani e borderline. Il tessuto è una narrazione…

STREET CULTURE Work clothes and military uniforms, graffiti garments and tank tops inspired by basketball, jersey reminiscent of hockey gear, baseball evoking patterns: sportswear moves up onto the catwalk, flanked in the show’s grand final by chic evening dresses and theatrical silk taffeta, brocades and velvets. Enlisting in his team even the Looney Tunes who wear hip-hop clothes and are featured on his garments, Jeremy Scott plays with street style and turns it into street couture. American pop culture and iconography are mixed with high Italian tailoring and manufacturing excellence into a scathing city collection, a tribute to the maestro Franco Moschino. Abiti da lavoro e divise militari, capi graffiti e tank top ispirati alla pallacanestro, jersey che ricordano l’hockey e pattern che richiamano il baseball: lo sportswear sale in…

W LA MAMMA A tribute to all mothers in the world: this is the name of the Dolce & Gabbana collection for next winter. On the catwalk, as well as models who are pregnant or with children in tow, and the statement pieces of the creative duo, were ‘scribbled’ outfits with prints and embroideries of red roses, written out thoughts and naif drawings made by children for their moms. Besides the usual passion red, the colour palette favours sugary tones of pink and candy blue. Sweetness and innocence but also great sensuality for lace garments that play with transparency, the sinuous sheath dresses and the colourful fur. Un omaggio a tutte le mamme del mondo: così si definisce la sfilata targata Dolce & Gabbana per il prossimo inverno. In passerella,…

Una prima collezione che si contraddistingue per lo stile contemporaneo e minimale, che si coniuga all’alta qualità dei materiali e alla ricerca stilistica costante.

Il pezzo iconico della nuova collezione sono i pantaloni di vaga ispirazione marinara, fluidi e molto morbidi, con grande pattina sul davanti, chiusa da bottoni anticati. La palette di colori è ispirata a certe atmosfere autunnali dove il ruggine e il cioccolato si fondono in armonia per un’immagine sottilimente Seventy, dove la minigonna si accompagna alla morbida blusa. Un tocco di sartoria per le preziose giacche in tweed, come vuole la tradIzione. The iconic piece of the new collection are the trousers with a vague navy inspiration, very soft and fluid, with large flap on the front closed by antiqued buttons. The colour palette is inspired by a certain autumn atmosphere, where the colours of rust and chocolate are melted in harmony for a subtly 70s image, where a short…

La nuova collezione resta fedele alle peculiarità del marchio: dettagli importanti e silhouette classiche, il tutto combinato grazie ad una lavorazione pregiata e a una grafica squisitamente eccentrica. La stilista americana fa conoscere il suo prêt-àporter, un misto di eleganza divertente e classica che ognuno può personalizzare a proprio modo tra soprabiti e vestiti, tra pantaloni e gonne gabardine che toccano il suolo. Ogni capo è disegnato con passione, ispirazione e attenzione, all’insegna di un design autentico e curato per uno stile individuale che si sa distinguere. Though her new collection Julianna Bass stays true to her trademark mix of edgy details and classic silhouettes, the influence of the designer’s Berlin migration is evident in the whimsical combination of luxury fabrications and quirky, original graphics. The collection channels Bass’ unique…

I volumi sono fluidi, modellati perfettamente sulla silhouette femminile, valorizzandola senza esasperazioni. Merito di capi che giocano con materiali e lunghezze, stampe e cromie, sovrapposizioni: pizzi, tessuti laserati, denim. Una collezione che non si prende troppo sul serio, come dovrebbe essere la moda. The volumes are smooth, perfectly modelled on the feminine silhouette, enhancing it without exasperation. Thanks to garments that play with materials and lengths, prints and colours, overlays: lace, lasered fabric, denim. A collection that does not take itself too seriously, as fashion should be. www.chloe.com…

Minimalismo con un tocco bohèmienne per la collezione del duo Ashley e Mary-Kate Olsen. Tutti i volumi accarezzano con dolcezza il corpo, le gonne plissé danzano fluide e si allungano, mentre i pantaloni a tubo si allargano e si accorciano mostrando con generosità la caviglia, come vuole l’ultima tendenza, di certo saranno il must della prossima stagione invernale. Grafica la scelta dei colori dove i blu profondi e il crema sono protagonisti. Minimalism with a bohemian touch for the collection of the duo Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. All volumes gently caress the body, pleated skirts dance fluidly and get longer, while the straight pants expand and shorten, generously showing the ankle, as dictated by the latest trend; they will certainly be the must buy of the next winter season. The…

Molto Gucci. Frida Giannini, che ha appena lasciato Gucci, ha ideato una collezione che è un mix fra tradizione, futuro e glamour impeccabile. Materiali importanti presi a prestito anche dall’abbigliamento maschile vanno a creare capi dalla linea perfetta che sanno di un lusso decantato che fa rima con eleganza sicura. Cappottini asciutti in pelle bluette entrano nel nuovo guardaroba e ci resteranno a lungo perchè perfetti, come le giacche dall’allure sportivo. Questione di stile. Very Gucci. Frida Giannini’s collection, the fashion designer who has just left the maison, is a mix of tradition, future and impeccable glamour. Beautiful fabrics, also borrowed from the male clothing, make the perfectly tailored garment an item of vaunted luxury and safe elegance. Slim coats made of Persian blue leather gain a place in the…

Giovani, carine e disoccupate (ma di famiglia decisamente benestante): sono così le ragazze disegnate da Erdem per il prossimo inverno, si muovono con disinvoltura in abitini bon-ton dalle fisionomie ultra moderne, costruiti in maniera impeccabile e arricchiti di stampe vibranti, marchio di fabbrica del brand.

DINNER WITH JACKSON POLLOCK: RECIPES, ART & NATURE Lee Krasner, American painter among the best-known exponents of abstract expressionism, wife of Jackson Pollock, tells about him: “I did the cooking but he did the baking... he was very fastidious about his baking, marvelous bread, cake, and apple pies.” This is the sentence that introduces us to a world which sees Jackson Pollock as the protagonist, and a side of him which is unknown to the public is investigated. The books does not describe the artist as a painter, but as a cooker, a gardener and an organizer of dinners. Cooking together, sharing the same passion, represented an extension of the partners’ creative universe. Photographer Robin Lea proposes a path amidst pictures and images of all their courses. The book is…

Ika Butoni has moved to Hong Kong where she works as a designer, she keeps the nostalgia of her Indonesian origins in her heart and Bali always remains her main source of inspiration, together with faces, cultures and sensations she met during her numerous travels. As a result, she features an exclusive style made of ethnical differences and of the awareness that they lead to a multicultural and charming beauty. Each contact represents an idea and energy for constant research and new technological experimentation on fabrics and embroideries: the ancient technique of tailoring precision and skilled decoration, cutting, patchwork and beads picking culminates in an extraordinary care for detail on intricate handmade patterns within a symphony of different materials on sublime dresses and wonderful accessories. Every element is carefully selected…

COLOURS OF FREEDOM It starts with a series of tight suits with perfect fit and precise references: the jacket, strictly double-breasted goes with slightly flared pants, between the ’60s and ’70s, in vintage shades of olive green, pastel yellow, pale pink and blue. A collection played on reality and appearance, on true and false. Trapeze skirts to confirm the retro inclination, defined by impeccable dresses worn with second skin long gloves, and sheath dresses that are slightly pointed at the waist, decorated with large brooches that nod to pastel coloured bakelite jewellery, emblem of a bourgeoisie that is snubbed and at the same time forcefully present. Si parte con una serie di completi striminziti dal fitting perfetto e dai richiami precisi: la giacca, rigorosamente doppiopetto si abbina a pantaloni appena…

MATCH POINT Park Avenue Armory is transformed into a football stadium as a backdrop. Fashion show or game? It doesn’t matter, because the show is worth it in both cases: garments with a sporty look, performance materials, mixed in a very ‘Hilfiger’ way, which defines a fun and easy-going urban look, not to mention the colour of the year: Marsala red. Il Park Avenue Armory trasformato in uno stadio da football come scenografia. Sfilata o partita? Poco importa, perchè lo spettacolo merita in entrambe le ipotesi: capi dall’impronta sporty, materiali performanti, mixati in maniera molto ‘Hilfiger’, che definisce un look urban divertente e scanzonato, senza dimenticare nemmeno il colore dell’anno: il marsala.…

DANGEROUS LIAISONS An intense and loving dedication to Benedetta Barzini, icon of style and elegance of sixties’ fashion, alongside the Marquise de Merteuil of Laclos’ masterpiece, free of the clichés of a moralistic society that judges appearance. The relaxed attitude of the former mixes with the French royalty of the latter: the undefined and deep colours of paintings by Boucher and Watteau in a magnificent poem of tapestry prints, precious fabrics and materials, perfect and austere volumes, embroidery and sumptuous tailoring. It is an ode to the nonconformist, to freedom and beauty, to the woman who is queen and warrior and who, unlike the novel, is a winner. Un’intensa e affettuosa dedica a Benedetta Barzini, icona di stile ed eleganza della moda degli anni Sessanta, affiancata alla Marchesa di Merteuil…

MYSTERIOUS TOUR A deep-set look in a chalk white face, with mysterious charm and a sensually androgynous air: this is how the designer Alberto Zambelli defines his educated and sophisticated figures, elegant nomads with a casual and comfortable wardrobe. A modern Marchesa Casati travelling on the Orient Express, who loves soft lines and fluid volumes, bright Swarovski crystals and fine materials, jacquard and imprimé velvets, flared and fil coupé woolsilk. An ode to Italian know-how, served with international flavour. Uno sguardo profondo incastonato in un viso bianco calce, dal fascino misterioso e dall’aspetto sensualmente androgino: è così che il designer Alberto Zambelli definisce figure colte e sofisticate, eleganti nomadi dotate di un guardaroba disinvolto e confortevole. Una moderna Marchesa Casati in viaggio sull’Orient Express, che ama linee morbide e volumi…

THE GROUPIE ATTITUDE Awesomeness, lightness, freedom. The archetypes of the groupie and of the Sixties with their dreams, ideals, explorations of new musical horizons are reinterpreted in psychedelic embroideries matched to Art Nouveau motifs in fluid and dynamic ensembles with Art Nouveau shapes. Floral and surreal decorative details, strong colours and, inevitably, elegant bohemian collars. Inspired by the famous English singer and actress Marianne Faithfull, the finest Made in Italy craftsmanship draws an assertive, yet delicate and ironic, femininity that paints a cultural phenomenon of hope and vitality celebrated through its libertine and libertarian refined dress codes. Suggestione, leggerezza e libertà: l’archetipo della groupie e degli anni Sessanta con i loro sogni, ideali ed esplorazioni di nuovi orizzonti musicali sono reinterpretati in ricami psichedelici che si uniscono a motivi liberty,…

GENDERLESS INTUITION Something that has yet to happen, but has already been said. Maybe. A futuristic perspective on the past, interpretation of an ambiguous and possibilistic present. Time contaminations, not exactly decipherable, dictate a path of recovery and reinterpretation of issues related to the past, exonerating it from any nostalgic drift. Alessandro Michele repeats fathomed concepts with the men’s collection, energising them with deeper meanings, giving an interpretation of reality delicately balanced between testimonies and prophecies, man and woman, in the name of freedom of expression. Qualcosa che deve ancora avvenire, ma è già stato detto. Forse. Un punto di vista futuristico sul passato, chiave di lettura di un presente ambiguo e possibilista. Contaminazioni temporali non esattamente decifrabili dettano un percorso di recupero e rilettura di temi legati al passato,…

WARM MINIMALISM The geometric patterns chase each other on synthetic and modernist tailoring in portions of colour that leave no room for unnecessary cuteness. Silvia Venturini Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld opt for retro-flavoured graphisms played on the warm and familiar tones of orange, leather, more comfortable browns and warm whites. Rigor and minimalist design is counterbalanced by the traditionally precious materials, indicating a luxury that points to substance. Tablier-like slings, plastron and panels indicate a rigidity that is only apparent, that gives decided yet sinuous movements. Le geometrie si rincorrono su tagli sintetici e modernisti in porzioni di colore che non lasciano spazio a inutili leziosismi. Silvia Venturini Fendi e Karl Lagerfeld optano per grafismi dal sapore retrò giocati sui toni caldi e famigliari dell’arancio, del cuoio, dei marroni più…

MYSTIC SYNAESTHESIA Gothic pagan atmospheres for the fashion show of the brilliant designer Liborio Capizzi, which tells a ‘noir’ tale, full of decadence and mystery, through clothes made with exquisitely Italian tailoring techniques, in a delicate balance between sacred and profane, between weight and lightness. The overlapping of contrasting materials such as jersey, gazar and silk organza creates an extraordinary material effect, inducing tactile temptations, defining surreal atmospheres and dreamlike paths that lead to an icy and solemn femininity, in shades of white, black and all hues of epidermal powder pink. Atmosfere gotiche di natura pagana per la sfilata-evento del brillante designer Liborio Capizzi, che narra una fiaba noir, carica di decadenza e mistero, attraverso abiti realizzati con tecniche sartoriali di squisita italianità, in biblico tra sacro e profano, tra…

Materiali a contrasto che creano magnifici effetti materici, un senso del colore tattile, quasi pittorico, che si esprime nelle stampe geometriche, con qualche concessione floreale. Focus sul punto vita, strizzato in alti cinturoni che definiscono silhouette composte, ma dai volumi morbidi e disinvolti, come la palette cromatica, che spazia dalle tinte più vitaminiche dei gialli, rosa, bluette e rossi, alle nuance sature del fango, cammello e verde militare. Contrasting materials that create magnificent material effects, a tactile, almost pictorial sense of colour, which is expressed in geometric prints, with some floral concessions. The focus is on the waistline, squeezed in high belts defining a composed silhouette, but creating soft and casual volumes. And soft is the colour palette, ranging from vitamin tints of yellow, bluish pinks and reds to the…

Freshness is the name of the game in this splendid collection from Fendi, which uses precious materials to create a glamourous image, of extreme elegance, inspired by the boho-chic style. Fur with striped effects but also those wise textures made by those who have a special savoir faire in their DNA. Coats with perfect tailoring and enveloping capes, the inevitable trumpet flare jeans as per the latest trend of the season. www.fendi.com…

Volumi morbidi, dal sapore oversize e tagli di impronta maschile definiscono capi (apparentemente) easy, che rivelano costruzioni sartoriali che non lasciano nulla al caso, come nella tradizione più autentica della maison e segna il recupero di un grande classico del marchio: la pettorina, sovrapposta ad abiti, cappotti o appoggiata sulla pelle nuda. Soft volumes, with masculine tailoring and an oversize flavour, define the (apparently) easy garments, revealing sartorial constructions that leave nothing to chance, as in the most authentic traditions of the fashion house, marking the revival of a great classic of the brand: the bib, superimposed on dresses, coats or resting on the bare skin. www.maisonmartinmargiela.com…

Capi lineari, volumi privi di leziosismi, stampe geometriche in versione bianco e nero, che si tratti di pied-de-coq, gessati, animalier o principe di galles poco importa. Una collezione per donne risolute e dalle idee ben chiare, che amano capi dal piglio maschile senza rinunciare alla sensualità di gambe in vista e, talvolta, addirittura al romanticismo floreale. Linear garments, volumes without affectation, geometric patterns in black and white, be it pied -de -coq, pinstripes, animal prints or Prince of Wales, it does not matter. A collection for resolute women with clear ideas, who love garments with a masculine attitude without wanting to sacrifice the sensuality of exposed legs and, sometimes, even floral romance. www.lanvin.com…

Un’immagine grafica, dove il mix di fantasie, effetti geometrici e rigature, si armonizza perfettamente. Pantaloni affusolati e maglieria dal tono sportivo, abiti molto costruiti dalle gonne a tutto volume o rigorosamente a tubo. Dettagli importanti, molto ricercati e moderni. Gli abiti da cocktail sono resi ancor più preziosi da graffette con cristalli Swarovski. A graphical image, where the mix of patterns, geometric effects and stripes are perfectly harmonized. Tapered trousers and knitwear with a sporty feel, elaborate dresses with full volume or strictly pencil skirts. Show-stopping details, very sophisticated and modern. The cocktail dresses become even more precious with clips embellished by Swarovski crystals. www.versace.com…

La durezza di certi capi iconici dello streetwear si stempera in un’immagine lussuosa che utilizza materiali importanti e tecnicamente avanzati. Un nuovo modo di interpretare il lusso. Le stampe s’ispirano alle venature del marmo e alle crepe del cemento grezzo, blu profondo e blu Yves Klein per il cappotto classico che si avvolge morbido attorno al corpo. Puri i capi pensati per la sera, pantaloni morbidi e casacchine asimmetriche, stile più che raffinato. The hardness of some iconic pieces of street wear dissolves in a luxurious image that uses remarkable and technically advanced materials. A new way of interpreting luxury. The prints are inspired by the veins of marble and the cracks of raw cement. Deep blue and Yves Klein blue for the classic coat that wraps softly around the…

An olive tree that carries in its bark, its tangled branches and its leaves years and years of history: this is the source of inspiration for the new collection of the Slovenian brand that creates garments, sometimes unisex ones, with intricate weaves that can be worn in different ways, marked by a freedom without rules or barriers. Dark colours are enlivened by flashes of green and silver, natural materials such as wool and cotton and handmade details for sometimes oversized clothes that tell a sense of ease and relaxation: street wear, sportswear and haute couture come together in a wonderful and eclectic street couture. Un ulivo che porta nella sua corteccia, tra i suoi rami aggrovigliati e le sue foglie anni e anni di storia: questa la fonte d’ispirazione per…

Un gelido paesaggio della Scandinavia del nord: l’inverno ricopre la natura con i suoi colori freddi dai quali ci si protegge con la più preziosa maglieria fatta di lana, seta, denim e alpaca modellati su vestiti dai tagli larghi e allungati. Notevoli sono anche le tasche dall’insolito design e le maglie metalliche che regalano un’atmosfera unica. La palette di colori è carica d’intensità e di significati: scale di grigi, sfumature dal luminoso all’opaco fino al nero più profondo. E poi, d’improvviso, la sorpresa di un intenso turchese: il fascino ineffabile che solo un’aurora boreale può regalare. A freezing Scandinavian landscape: winter covers nature with its cold colours from which people protect with the finest knitwear made from wool, silk, denim and alpaca shaped on large and comfortable dresses or on…

ANJA GOCKEL The collection entitled “Take me home” designed by the famous German designer Anja Gockel was presented during the Berlin Fashion Week in front of an audience of about 800 guests. With these words, the designer explains the inspiration that led her to realize her creations: “In a globalized world, we are bombarded with events happening all over the globe. Everyone knows that anything can happen at any time. With this continuous flow, we look at ourselves and try something that forces us to stop and that gives us security.” This search for protection is reflected in the materials she uses to wrap the body. La collezione dal titolo “Take me home” disegnata dalla famosa stilista tedesca Anja Gockel è stata presentata durante la Berlin Fashion Week davanti a…

A creative and emotional journey carried away by nostalgia for the land of origin, where a drawing becomes an iconographical story suggested by a dreamlike imagination with graphics that take up a symbolic value. Intriguing, evocative and dreamy universes are suggested by printings which, as a focus of the young Sicilian designer’s creativity, rotate on four main themes: red and black of the ladybug, the irregular silhouette of poppy flowers, vegetal camouflage and exocitcism of paisley patterns. Knitwear has an important role both for close-fitting dresses and skirts, and coats, macro cardigans and full cloaks. Corolla skirts are rendered in shantung, flowing evening dresses are made from graceful chiffon, precious and iridescent brocade while Swarovski crystals give a touch of light to printings and precious embroideries. Winner of the tenth…

Fashion has a cyclic trend which represents a flow of ups and downs where stages of recovery and innovation, classicism and avant-garde alternate. We have been accustomed to these by fashion and we couldn’t do without anymore, they allow us to orientate in the deep sea of the minor art, the most popular in the planet. Then, there’s no need to be astonished at the overbearing comeback of the Nineties, which bring back into vogue stylistic concepts and paradigms, emblematic and powerful, wanting in the revolutionary charge of the period, but impregnated with the distinguishing marks that make their fortune. Personally, as those years ‘educated’ my aesthetical side, I particularly love the concepts of minimalism, tailoring and androgyny, connected to an approach of Japanese – and later Belgian - extraction…

OBLIVION IS NOT FOR EVERYONE Thom Browne is one of the few who are able to spin a narrative around it by sublimating it into a seductive unrepeatable aesthetic vision: as we speak of death, it would be very difficult to do an encore. Nightmares and hallucinations chase each other in a succession of romantically feminine, dramatically disturbing garments with a strong couture touch. A parade of women dressed in black who say goodbye to their friends on their way to the afterlife and to the angels that escort them. Thom Browne è uno dei pochi che possono permettersi di narrarlo sublimandolo a visione estetica seducente e irripetibile (parlando di morte sarebbe peraltro difficile fare il bis). Incubi e allucinazioni si rincorrono in un susseguirsi di capi romantici e femminili,…

PORTRAIT OF A LADY A tribute to the eclectic and unpredictable, sophisticated and independent Diane Vreeland, myth and style icon of the last century. Marc Jacobs distills and concentrates her quintessence into a luxuriously sensuous collection whose the strong points are the mix of contrasting materials, the abstract prints, the precious floral patterns, the unequivocal play on see-through effects. Pleated leathers, sequin petals, studded tunics for the red carpet and a metallic sheen that defines bright and ultra precious pieces. Omaggio a Diane Vreeland, mito e icona di stile del secolo scorso, eclettica e imprevedibile, sofisticata e indipendente. Marc Jacobs ne distilla la quintessenza e la concentra in una collezione lussuosa e sensuale, che trova il punto di forza nei mix di materiali a contrasto, nelle stampe astratte e nei…

STRONG FEELINGS Massimo Giorgetti focuses on colours that are to be experienced with almost violent force, defining an approach that does not like half-measures: if colour it is, let it be loud, if geometry, let it be clean, if clean shapes, let them be concise and unambiguous. So, following the flow, the designer focuses on a shared and shareable mood, which puts the focus on simple and incisive concepts, accessible at different levels. Gown silhouettes are squeezed in the waist by contrasting belts, wide trousers cropped at the ankle and a macro patchwork mosaic for the multi-coloured fur. Massimo Giorgetti punta sul colore vissuto con forza quasi violenta, definendo un approccio che non ama le mezze misure: se è colore, che sia squillante, se è geometria, che sia netta, se…

TIME OF RECKONING It is the attempt of proceeding with composure, awaiting a judgement we cannot avoid. While we wear tactile pieces featuring austere colours, like deep black, shades of grey and little dashes of white. Fabrics are selected with great care: boiled wool fabric, glossy fur and leather are matched to jersey, handwoven linen and details of silk, while a structured and yet lingering silhouette is outlined by circular cuts, transparencies and layered fabrics, for a meeting with an unpreventable destiny. È il tentativo di avanzare con estrema compostezza in attesa di un giudizio a cui non possiamo sfuggire. Lo facciamo vestiti di capi tattili dai colori severi come nero profondo, sfumature di grigio e sottili note di bianco. I tessuti sono selezionati con grande attenzione: lana cotta, pelliccia…

QUIET CHAOS An order made chaotic by the bustle of a geometry that is rhythm, pattern, movement: Rodolfo Paglialunga is working on a broken precision, an apparent randomness worn with considerable aplomb. The silhouette is high and dry, designed by jackets, coats and skirts and pants, fur is thrown on pants and sweaters, the neck is covered by turtlenecks, for a timid idea of seduction. The colorful palette and the constant tension of the succession of straight and diagonal lines make precious materials, such as cashmere, wool and satin, even more captivating for timeless pieces that trace precise and complex aesthetics with enchanting versatility. Un ordine reso caotico dalla frenesia di una geometria che è ritmo, pattern, movimento: Rodolfo Paglialunga lavora su una precisione spezzata, un’apparente casualità indossata con notevole…

VARIATIONS ON A THEME The collection for next Autumn/Winter is indeed very different as it explores new approaches to reality. A thoroughly experimental innovation leads to a vision that surprises and fascinates with its intensity. Severe garments and absence of decorative details make the attention focus on the elaborate construction of each piece. Statement fabrics are very important as the fur details that appear on pockets and sleeves with elegant contrast of warm and enveloping colors. New perspectives that delineate a decisive and resolute femininity. È una collezione diversa quella che sfila per il prossimo inverno: un’esplorazione di nuovi approcci alla realtà e un’accurata ricerca sperimentale portano a una visione che sorprende ed affascina per la sua intensità. I capi severi e l’assenza di décor fanno convergere l’attenzione sulla costruzione…

ITALIAN PORTRAITS Not just simply a fashion collection but the entire Italian cultural heritage. Art, literature, aesthetic preeminence take shape in long and short dresses, skirts, jackets, coats, and fur coats that describe a world of absolute feminine and refined beauty made of organza, chiffon, silk, velvet, brocade, and panels of precious lace. Modern garments that all carry the historic classic taste as well as the craftsmanship and the love for beauty by a supporter of Italian art like Alberta Ferretti. The magnificent Renaissance poetry is back on the catwalk.

TRIBAL ARISTOCRACY A wonderful contrast of ethnic atmospheres and British nobility, a tangle of North American tribes’ folk patterns, luxurious fabrics and drapes that recall delicate Victorian motifs. Trousers, jackets and coats embroidered in gold, maxi ponchos and skirts showing dedicated sophisticated work, exquisitely crafted tailoring and details, and geometric patterns with a tribal flavour in a magic atmosphere of primitive and noble influences. The warm colours of the Canadian forests in autumn combine with the sternness of British uniforms, in a wonderful antithesis that has an extremely appealing charm. Uno splendido contrasto di atmosfere etniche e nobiltà britannica, un intreccio di motivi folkloristici delle tribù nordamericane, tessuti lussuosi e drappeggi che richiamano i delicati motivi vittoriani. Pantaloni, giacche e cappotti ricamati in oro, maxi poncho e gonne lavorate con…

CROSSING COLOURS It is a clean and essential collection, giving importance to that elegant simplicity so perfect it is always fashionable. The volumes, overlappings and proportions are masterfully elaborated in an enchanting play of lines and ruffles built over the ikat, the design of the Eastern tradition, that becomes a graffiti nuanced by sumptuous colours: deep, rich tones of ruby, sapphire, amethyst, moon stone and black onyx to enhance the purity of form. Among hybrids and contaminations, the outstanding craftsmanship of Made in Italy praises an authentic and refined femininity. È una collezione nitida ed essenziale, che dà importanza a quell’elegante sobrietà così perfetta da essere sempre attuale. I volumi, le sovrapposizioni e le proporzioni sono magistralmente elaborati in incantevoli giochi di linee e di volant costruiti sull’ikat, il disegno…

Non smentisce il suo grande amore per accostamenti inediti, dal sapore forte, vagamente vintage. Alessandro Dell’Acqua sceglie proporzioni ampie per i maxi cardigan, i cappotti oversize e li accosta a gonne a sigaretta e panta superslim, dai disegni jaquard, abbinandoli a top rifiniti con pizzi e piume d’antan.

Volumi avvolgenti per proteggersi dal freddo che verrà. Giacchini maculati e minimi montoni zippati per un’anima rock, ma con dolcezza portati su panta rigorosamente skinny, stivaletti spuntati come accessorio cult. Perfetti i cappotti, anche in pelliccia o in calde lane stampate, come i trench in suede, prezioso da annodare in vita. Enveloping volumes to protect from the cold to come. Animalier print jackets and zipped minimal sheepskin for a rock soul, but worn softly on strictly skinny pants, with peep toe boots as the cult accessory.

L’ispirazione è tratta dalle antiche case inglesi, soprattutto in stile georgiano e sono il blu polvere, l’arenaria e i morbidi toni del rosa, i colori del cuore. Una palette cromatica che si declina in un romanticismo non stucchevole fatto di gonne plissettate e morbidi maglioni, panta larghi corti alla caviglia e cappotti di un certo rigore. The inspiration comes from the old English houses, especially the Georgian ones, and the colours of choice are powder blue, sandstone and soft shades of pink. A colour palette that translates into a non- soppy romantic look of plissé skirts and soft sweaters, ankle-length baggy pants and coats with a certain rigor. www.mulberry.com…

SPORT & STREET COLLEZIONI EDITOR IN CHARGE The absence of Bread and Butter, the primary appointment for denim and the street wear system in the now historic location of Tempelhof, is felt more than just a little: now the whole world seems to have lost its house for urban wear, although each neighbouring trade fair managed to erode those spaces left vacant by the largest industry event ever. One of the beneficiaries is Premium, a trade show for women, men, accessories and “democratic luxury” jewels (wearable brands with a twist, research debuts, little gems that can refresh a store at attractive prices), which has managed to expand by 20% and to open a new lobby, 8, as well as occupying the spaces of the Kühlhaus building that were previously reserved…

Now in its fourth edition, the Indonesia Fashion Week confirms its character of all-round kermesse. Held at the Convention Centre in Jakarta, its calendar had not just catwalks, but also talk shows, seminars and workshops, all closely linked to the world of fashion, from fashion from the Islamic world, to clothing for women, men, children, all the way to fashion accessories and textiles. The industry has welcomed the initiative, organized by the Indonesia Fashion Designer Association, which has been a great success: 747 brands took part in the four-days event, and 230 participating designers, some from Korea, India, Australia and Malaysia, as well as about 100,000 visitors. The focus was placed on the craftsmanship for which the country is famous and on the cultural differences that coexist in Indonesia, all…

GIVENCHY The new Givenchy flagship store in Seoul, at n° 78-11 of the eminent Cheongdam Dong, in the Gangnam Gu fashion district, has opened. Created from the design concept of the creative director of the maison, Riccardo Tisci, and from the research carried out by the Milan-based studio Piuarch, the building, featuring a graphical geometric structure, has a façade designed like a sort of casting in relief which reminds of the characteristic “T-shaped” sartorial cut which distinguishes the French brand. The textured surface of the electropolished steel plates creates changing effects, according to the light reflection and to the surrounding landscape producing optical/kinetic effects which constantly mutate during the day. On the top of the building, the façade opens up in a mention of the famous “T-shaped” cut, showing a…
