BOGLIOLI

 

FALL - WINTER 2016

 

 

The Boglioli Autumn/Winter 2015/16 Menswear Collection draws on its time honored traditions in tailoring, while further modernizing the silhouette and notable fit of its designs.

 

A new shape is introduced. Deeply tailored in its construction in a smart selection of materials, it achieves a dynamic aesthetic while preserving a completely relaxed feel. The jacket is shorter and the shoulders are precisely scaled, while the front design moves downward harmonically, smartly outlining the chest. A small marvel of construction and fabric, treated with the mindful and elegant craftsmanship of the Boglioli workshops. Trousers feature a higher waist, encompassing the leg just as gracefully as the jacket does the upper body.

 

Shades, colors and details of the collection bring back to light the understated and humbled elegance of the Milanese bourgeoisie of the 60’s and 70’s. A symphony of midtones and delicate pairings feature grays and camels as their mainstays while contrasting with shades of teal and coral. Every look and garment communicates a measured yet strong style; a confidence in men's dressing that needs no effort to express its beauty.

 

Checked fabrics feature new washes, enhancing the pattern, making matters softer and sophisticated. A maxi variation of houndstooth gives strength to the linear coat. Tweed and British traditional wools are taken beyond their traditional bounds with bombers and overalls cut with tailoring know-how.

 

The presentation of the collection is held at the Dimore Studio Gallery, of the famous Milanese design team that brought the modernist tradition of furnishing and architecture towards a new contemporary, ultra sophisticated and effortless goal. A testimony of an elective affinity and a marriage of style belonging to different fields but residing in the same philosophy.

Prada Women’s Spring/Summer 2015

 

Show space description

Outdoor / Indoor / Outdoor . 2

 

For the Prada S/S2015 woman show, AMO designs indoor dunes.

In between a cave, a desert, and an indoor playground, the set up questions the relationship between outdoor and indoor: purple colored sand invade the space, redefining the existing architecture elements, modifying proportions, turning the show into an unexpected landscape.

Based on a concentric organization, the room develops around the central and irregular sand surface: a series of brown carpet covered steps runs along the perimeter, while a thin line of technical lights marks the perfectly white walls as a horizon. Models weave along the dunes edges confronting the regularly lined up audience. The combination between the irregular sand volumes and the geometry of the tribunes modifies constantly the relationship between the spectators and the fashion.

Before taking place orderly around the dunes, the audience reaches the show space after climbing over steps and having a privileged overview of the sand landscape.

 

 

 

Prada Donna Primavera /Estate 2015

Allestimento sala sfilata

Outdoor / Indoor / Outdoor . 2

Per la sfilata Prada Donna P/E 2015, AMO progetta imponenti dune indoor.

A metà strada tra una grotta, un deserto e un parco giochi al coperto, l’allestimento mette in discussione la relazione tra indoor e outdoor: sabbia viola invade lo spazio, ridefinendo gli elementi architettonici esistenti, modificando le proporzioni e tramutando lo show in un paesaggio inaspettato.

Seguendo una disposizione concentrica, lo spazio si sviluppa intorno all’irregolare superficie sabbiosa, posta al centro della scena: una serie di gradini rivestiti in moquette marrone corre lungo il perimetro, mentre una sottile linea di luci tecniche segna le immacolate pareti bianche come un orizzonte. Le modelle sfilano sinuosamente tra le dune, fronteggiando il pubblico allineato regolarmente. Il connubio tra i volumi irregolari delle dune e le geometrie rigorose delle tribune modifica costantemente il rapporto tra gli spettatori e la moda.

Prima di accomodarsi ordinatamente intorno alle dune, il pubblico raggiunge lo spazio della sfilata salendo una gradinata e si gode una vista privilegiata sul paesaggio sabbioso.

 

 

MARNI MEN’S S/S 2015

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vibrant energy. A loose, natural attitude: upbeat, neat, fast. The Marni Men collection for s/s 15 continues taking elements from different worlds - sport, utility, tailoring - dissecting and assembling them in a graphic yet spontaneous language. It builds a wardrobe suited to the needs and demands of the contemporary urban wanderer. Forms have the bold assertiveness and the raw perfection of brutalist architecture; suiting and sports merge and morph, seamlessly, creating utilitarian pieces of clothing. The accent on precision puts the focus on texture and color, defining a balance that is slightly askew, dynamic.

 

The silhouette is loose yet controlled, with an airy sense of firmness. Light wool suits are worn under oversized dusters, rolled sleeves and contrasting nuances creating a play of juxtapositions. Reversible sports blazers paired with shorts match function with ease. The iconic elements of the masculine wardrobe are distilled to their essence and then remixed with a geometric sensibility that is quintessentially Marni. The zip-up blouson, the bomber jacket, the collarless shirt-jacket, the short-sleeved shirt are addends of layerings and permutations, the sum of elements highlighted by the bold color combination. Suits have compact jackets and long lean trousers. Prints recur as an assertive element on bonded sweatshirts, shirts and trousers both highlighting and deconstructing the architectural precision of the cuts. Inside-out construction have nonchalance.

 

The dense color palette is rich in unexpected mixtures: tones of inky blue, deep green, grey, black and beige are accented with dashes of deep red, pale yellow, rust. Prints have a gestural quality: scribbles, geometries, stripes and inky flowers. Fabrics are light and airy, yet firm: suiting wools, bonded jersey, parachute cotton.

 

The graphic tone of the collection carries on in the accessories. Functional card and phone cases are worn around the neck adding another element of color and shape. Marni's classic backpack is reimagined with another colorful play. Sandals with bold color and material mixes are a light-hearted addition to the silhouette. Canvas sneakers have rubber toe caps sliced into graphic bands.
