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.

 

 

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.

 

1920s club

 

On February 20, 2014, during Milan Fashion Week, Prada presented a new chapter of The Iconoclasts project.

 

Edward Enninful’s original vision for Prada women’s and men’s Monte Napoleone stores, was inspired by the energy and original thought of the ‘Harlem Renaissance’.

The men’s store hosted a cast of black and white mannequins dressed in Prada SS14 and archive pieces, set amongst game tables, 1920s food and cocktails, and the strains of a jazz blues band.

More than 2000 guests attended the events. Maria Carla Boscono, Natasha Poly, Joan Small, Mario Boselli, Beppe Modenese e Piero Pinto, Carla Sozzani, Pupi Solari, Linda Fargo, Franco Pené,  Marpessa Hennink, Francesco Vezzoli, Paola Manfrin, Marta Marzotto, Allegra Bossi Pucci, Arturo Artom, Anthony C.

HARLEM RENAISSANCE

 

 

PRADA ICONOCLASTS PRESENTS EDWARD ENNINFUL’S ‘HARLEM RENAISSANCE’

During Milan Fashion Week on the 20th of February, the night of the Prada show, a new chapter of The Iconoclasts opens with Edward Enninful’s original vision for Prada women’s and men’s Monte Napoleone stores, inspired by the energy and original thought of the ‘Harlem Renaissance’.

Prada’s The Iconoclasts series launched in 2009, when four leading fashion editors took over the visual identity of Prada stores in four fashion capitals around the world. Alex White re-dressed the New York Broadway store, Katie Grand cast her vision over London’s Old Bond Street, Olivier Rizzo transformed Milan’s Via Monte Napoleone store and Carine Roitfeld brought her fashion point of view to the Avenue Montaigne Boutique in Paris. Each applied their distinctive styling and storytelling vision to the presentation of the collection, a creative collaboration within the world of fashion at the most creative level.

An electric time of artistic explosion and cultural exchange for the African American community in the United States in the 1920s, the ‘Harlem Renaissance’ represented a new creative spirit. Stars such as Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker and Ella Fitzgerald were born, and the air buzzed and fizzed with jazz and ideas.

Taking this spirit of creativity as his cue, Enninful’s Prada women’s store will be filled with a cast of black and white mannequins dressed in Prada SS14 and archive looks – guests at an imagined 1920s club – complete with glittering artdeco bar, evoking the atmosphere of Harlem. The men’s store will host a cast of black and white mannequins dressed in Prada SS14 and archive pieces, set amongst game tables, 1920s food and cocktails, and the strains of a jazz blues trio. New fashion images shot by Emma Summerton and Enninful will be presented in both stores.

“Miuccia Prada’s work always begins with a conversation. Drawing from this notion, I looked to the ‘Harlem Renaissance’ for the SS14 instalment of The Iconoclasts series. As the ‘Harlem Renaissance’ was a period of original thought – when creative minds inspired and embraced a new cultural identity – I felt that this was an appropriate narrative to incorporate into this season’s Prada collection”, explains Edward Enninful of the project.

The Milan installations will be on display until February 24th. Two days later, Enninful’s vision for Prada’s new Saint Petersburg store will be unveiled.

Information about future iterations of The Iconoclasts series will be released soon.

 

 

 

PRADA ICONOCLASTS: ‘HARLEM RENAISSANCE’ BY EDWARD ENNINFUL

Milano, 18 febbraio 2014 - Il 20 febbraio, durante la settimana della moda di Milano, Prada presenta un nuovo capitolo del progetto ‘Iconoclasts’. Per questa edizione, Edward Enninful interpreterà gli spazi Prada donna e uomo di via Monte Napoleone ispirandosi all’energia creativa e allo spirito dell’ ‘Harlem Renaissance’.

Nel 2009, quattro famosi fashion editor si erano occupati dell’identità visiva dei negozi Prada in quattro capitali della moda, applicando il proprio senso dello stile e del racconto alla presentazione della collezione Primavera / Estate 2009.

Alex White aveva dato il via al progetto ‘Iconoclasts’ con un personale allestimento dell’Epicentro Prada di New York, seguito da Katie Grand, che si era dedicata al punto vendita londinese di Old Bond Street, e da Olivier Rizzo, che si era concentrato sul negozio di Via Monte Napoleone a Milano. Infine, Carine Roitfeld, aveva concluso il ciclo di appuntamenti interpretando il negozio parigino di Avenue Montaigne.

Negli anni ’20, l’ ‘Harlem Renaissance’ ha rappresentato un momento di esplosione artistica e culturale per la comunità afroamericana degli Stati Uniti. Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker ed Ella Fitzgerald sono alcuni dei nomi di spicco di un periodo in cui nell’aria si respiravano un nuovo spirito creativo e musica jazz.

In entrambi gli spazi Prada di via Monte Napoleone, manichini bianchi e neri - ospiti di un immaginario club anni ’20 – saranno vestiti mixando capi della collezione Primavera / Estate 2014 con look d’archivio.

Il negozio dedicato alle collezioni femminili sarà trasformato in un bar art-déco, con un’atmosfera in stile Harlem, mentre tavoli da gioco e un trio jazz blues animeranno lo spazio uomo. All’interno di entrambi i negozi saranno presentati alcuni scatti di un servizio fotografico realizzato da Emma Summerton e Edward Enninful per l’occasione.

“Il lavoro di Miuccia Prada nasce sempre da una conversazione. Partendo da questo concetto ho esplorato, per l’edizione 2014 di ‘Iconoclasts’, l’ ‘Harlem Renaissance’, un’epoca di pensieri originali in cui menti creative ispirarono e fecero propria una nuova identità culturale, e mi è parso un universo appropriato per presentare la collezione Prada di questa stagione”, spiega Edward Enninful parlando del progetto.

L’allestimento sarà visibile fino al 24 febbraio. Due giorni dopo, il progetto prenderà vita all’interno del nuovo negozio Prada a San Pietroburgo, per poi proseguire con successive tappe nel corso dell’anno.

 

Fendi

Fall Winter 2013-2014

 

Icons unchained

 

A modern translation and celebration of FENDI's DNA: a contemporary re-reading of fur and the new Selleria.

Fur is ubiquitous and is sublimated by innovative craftsmanship and technology.

Sport Couture: FENDIs new perceptions and hierarchy of materials. Double cashmere, silk, precious wools often doubled with neoprene. Many three-dimensional embroidery and trompe l’oeil: the craftsmanship on fabrics and leathers mimics fur and vice versa.

Form and functionality are in a constant dialogue: silhouettes and volumes are neat, anatomic, feminine, rounded, often geometrical, architectural, in one word modern.

Metamorphic minks and foxes play with the animalier FENDI codes, creating a magnified opulence of rare and precious manufacture.

Polychromic pastel tones, intarsia and stripes, versus withes and pure vivid colors.

Ongoing revisit of FENDI’s iconic handbags and the new Selleria that takes its name from the number of  hand-made stitches: Adele 1328, Anna 1322, Peekaboo 1584…

3D fur embroidery, glass tubes and micro-sequins, fringes, braiding.

Ultra-soft Cuoio Romano or sellier leather, mirrored plexiglass, printed pony, inlayed mink, weightless nappa.

Pointed pumps, boots and lace-ups have mirrored and multi-faceted heels.
