Marni

MARNI PRE-FALL 2015

 

 

 

Personality, dynamism, eclecticism. Strong women crossing the globe with ease and independence. The Marni pre-fall 2015 collection is spontaneous and expressive. It mixes the colorful tactility of Nick Cave's soundsuits with nods to men's tailoring and hints of the 70s, pragmatism and embellishment, abstract shapes and military felts. The harmonic juxtaposition of elements is quintessentially Marni.

 

Precise, softly graphic cuts draw a tall, elongated silhouette. Lean dresses with mismatched knitted vests are worn under neat double-breasted peacoats, while scuba jersey is cut into asymmetric shapes that have the ponderous energy of a Suzan Frecon painting. Envelope belts mark the waist high, further highlighting the slenderness of the figure. The geometry of intarsia vinyl leather skirts is vertical and playful, as are the exaggerated men's cuffs.

 

Fur recurs as a texture and a tactile diversion: long vests and collarless coats are made of colorful tufts of alpaca, marmotta inserts and plastic disc embroideries are applied onto strict tops or felt skirts, merging decoration, protection and function.

 

 

 

A certain ease characterizes pieces that are combined with quirk and precision: fluid coats, flares, pure tops. Pragmatic quilting and military sobriety tone down the exuberance of the short and sharp brocade dresses, creating a fluid play of opposites.

 

The color palette is dense and personal: tones of mud, dark green, blue and charcoal are accented with flashes of deep or bright red, bright green, electric blue. Fabric are firm, with a tactile hand and a stress on texture: bonded jersey, three ply wool fresco, felt, double technical wool, silk crepe, brocade. Prints swing between the precise and the pictorial: fragmented lines, rhythmic geometries and sequential grids alternate with pimpernel blooms and hortus motifs.

 

The architectural line also characterizes accessories. Boots and ankle-strap shoes have contrast sculptural heels, while felt sandals are mounted on cut-out wedges. Running shoes are covered in geometric prints. Bags are small and structured, such as the new box bag with metal sides and the embroidered clutches, or soft and roomy, such as the intarsia or alpaca shoppers. Bijou are mobile compositions of geometric shapes, abstract flowers and spheres made of natural horn and colored resin.

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 F/W 2015-2016

 

 

Regeneration. The new Marni collection lands a ponderous gaze on the past, whilst bringing it firmly to the present. The Museo Marino Marini, where the show takes place, is a seamless juxtaposition of existing elements and new architectural interventions, so is the collection. Neat shapes charge up in the choice of tactile materials, in the bold play of colors and textures, suggesting an idea of easy elegance.

 

Fur, knit and sturdy tailoring toy with sophisticated quirks of personality. Zip-up tunic tops layered on printed shirts and skinny sky trousers suggest dynamism. Collarless coats have the ease of a cardigan and the intimacy of a robe, while double-breasted styles have a welcoming roominess.

 

Formality is approached from a slightly off-kilter angle: mismatched checks, broken suits, plain dress shirts paired with knitted ties. Jackets are compact, with a high buttoning, while trousers flare at the hem, or fall straight. The inside of the garments and their details are as studied and surprising as the outside: colorful pocket linings, contrast taping, hidden buttoning.

 

Fur is a strong feature in many ways throughout the collection. Alpaca on outerwear, long sheepskin gilets closed by snaps worn on top of suits, bonded goat cardigan coats, astrakhan and bleached alpaca scarves.

 

Knits are boxy and tactile, with a home-spun quality.

 

The color palette is earthy and deep: tones of brown, blue, grey, black are accented with flashes of red, yellow, flesh. Prints are painterly blossoms. Fabrics are precious and firm, with a stress on textures: twisted flannel, herringbone tweed, linen-wool, double faced angora cashmere, wool gabardine, bonded suede.

 

The progressive tone of the collection carries on in the accessories. Sturdy zip-up boots and derbies have contrast "mended" heels, sliced rubber toe caps give sneakers an old-school feel. Goat fur backpacks and wool apron bags match the looks.

Will You?

LA NOUVELLE CAMPAGNE DE TIFFANY & CO.

CELEBRE L'ENGAGEMENT DES COUPLES D’AUJOURD’HUI

NEW YORK, NY (14 janvier 2015) — Depuis 1837, Tiffany & Co. accompagne les plus grandes histoires d'amour de ce monde. Pour le Printemps 2015, Tiffany lance une nouvelle campagne qui aborde avec un angle moderne et novateur les thèmes de l'amour et du mariage.

Photographiée dans la ville de New York, cette nouvelle campagne intitulée Will You?

(« Dis-moi oui » pour la France) présente plusieurs couples à différents stades de leur relation, certains au moment où ils prennent LA décision, d'autres le jour de leur union.

Elle nous montre des couples d’aujourd’hui, comme ces jeunes qui commencent leur vie amoureuse, ce couple qui se marie en présence de l’enfant d’un des conjoints, ou encore ces deux hommes qui décident de s’unir. Chacune de ces scènes fortes rappelle que l'amour n'est pas linéaire et qu’il peut s'exprimer d'une multitude de façons.

Ces couples sont représentatifs de tous ceux qui viennent, tous les jours, chez Tiffany & Co. à la recherche de l'anneau symbolique, gage du grand amour. Chaque relation présentée dans la campagne est unique, comme chacune des bagues de fiançailles et des alliances signées Tiffany. Chacune possède sa beauté singulière, sa ligne hors du temps qui en fait une pièce à part, un bijou à chérir toute une vie.

« Aucune autre marque n'incarne l'émotion et la confiance de ceux qui s'engagent l'un envers l'autre aussi bien que Tiffany » explique Caroline Naggiar, Directrice Marketing de Tiffany & Co. « Les hommes et les femmes ont toujours recherché chez Tiffany le moyen de célébrer les moments les plus précieux et les plus heureux de leur vie. »

La campagne Will You? , shootée par le célèbre photographe de mode Peter Lindbergh, présente sept scènes de couples amoureux dans différents cadres

romantiques : sur un rooftop, dans une voiture décapotable, chez eux sur un canapé ou encore dans un café ou sous une pluie battante. Toutes ces scènes ont un thème en commun : elles saisissent un moment de lien profond et intime, l'instant où ces couples se disent oui. C'est elle. C'est lui que je veux. Maintenant et pour toujours.

Cette campagne mondiale sera diffusée sur différents canaux media, en print et en digital.

Sa principale filiale, Tiffany and Company est en charge des magasins et boutiques Tiffany & Co. en Amérique, Asie pacifique, Japon, Europe et aux Émirats Arabes Unis vend également ses produits directement sur internet, catalogue et comme cadeaux d’entreprise.

Prada Spring/Summer 2015 Advertising Campaign

Can a woman exude confidence yet be relaxed; appear uninhibited and carefree, yet remain in control? These seemingly contradictory states are explored in the new campaign for Prada by Steven Meisel.

Gemma Ward, Julia Nobis and Ine Neefs take centre stage. They are all portrayed in a different mood: stoic, psychedelic and intimate. A black and white studio shot is strong and defiant. A graffiti pastel backdrop channels movement and a youthful attitude. Then we’re drawn in close, into a seductive bedroom scene.

These diverse settings, contrasting moods and seemingly disconnected narratives form a dynamic backdrop for the Spring/Summer collection. The clothes draw together this diverse series, with a distinctive blend of fabrics, colours and silhouettes. Precious materials – antique brocade modelled on the 1800s through to the 60s – meets humble cotton, gauze and raw leather. Silk jacquard socks are a modern and elegant leitmotif.

The season’s bags are reinterpreted in their own revealing character study. One moment they are held protectively, the next they are casually flung on to a bed. Still lives suggest a free and fleeting moment, as if the wearer has just arranged them in a peculiar bedroom ritual.

Within each image the many facets of the Prada woman shift and overlap, part of an interconnected and contradictory story. A spirit of confidence and optimism suggest there are many more stories to be told.

Campagna pubblicitaria Prada Primavera/Estate 2015

Può una donna emanare sicurezza rimanendo rilassata, apparire disinibita e spensierata eppure mantenere il controllo? Sono gli stati apparentemente contraddittori analizzati da Steven Meisel nella nuova campagna per Prada, che vede protagoniste Gemma Ward, Julia Nobis e Ine Neefs.

Le tre modelle sono ritratte in tre diversi mood: stoico, psichedelico e intimo. Gli scatti in studio in bianco e nero comunicano energia e senso di ribellione. Uno sfondo pastello a graffiti trasmette movimento e un senso di giovinezza. Una scena in camera da letto è piena di seduzione e pervasa di intimità.

Ambientazioni diverse, atmosfere contrastanti e racconti apparentemente incoerenti formano lo scenario dinamico della collezione Prada Primavera/Estate 2015. Gli abiti uniscono queste diverse sequenze a una particolare miscela di tessuti, colori e forme. Materiali preziosi come il broccato, dall'antico ottocentesco a quello in uso negli anni sessanta, si uniscono ai più modesti cotone, garza e cuoio grezzo. I calzini in seta a motivi jacquard sono un leitmotiv moderno ed elegante.

Le borse si fanno interpreti del carattere diverso di chi le indossa, ora custodite gelosamente, ora lanciate sul letto con noncuranza. Gli still life raccontano un momento libero e fugace, come fossero state allestite per celebrare un insolito rituale in camera da letto.

All'interno di ogni immagine le molte sfaccettature della donna Prada si avvicendano e si sovrappongono, parti di un racconto interconnesso e contraddittorio. Uno spirito di fiducia e ottimismo suggerisce l'esistenza di molte altre storie da raccontare.

Corners / Martino Gamper for Prada

Corners is an evolutionary window design concept by Martino Gamper in collaboration with Prada which pays homage to the humble corner.

The design draws its inspiration from perspective, fragments and contrasts between natural materials.

Those elements are enhanced by the simplicity of a corner which is a common thread for all the displays.

Corners is a space within a space, making each display a unique story designed to evolve with the seasons.

The installation will be on display until the end of March in all Prada stores worldwide.

Corners / Martino Gamper per Prada

Corners è un concept di design evolutivo progettato da Martino Gamper, in collaborazione con Prada, per proporre un sistema di vetrine che rende omaggio all’umile simbolo geometrico dell’angolo.

Il design trae ispirazione dalle prospettive, dai frammenti e dai contrasti tra i materiali naturali. Questi elementi sono esaltati dalla semplicità di un angolo, che è il filo conduttore di tutti i display.

Corners è uno spazio all’interno di uno spazio, che conferisce a ogni vetrina una storia unica, progettata per evolvere con le stagioni.

L’installazione sarà visibile fino alla fine di marzo presso tutti i negozi Prada nel mondo.

Prada Menswear Spring/Summer 2015 Campaign

There are forces in feelings, and feelings in things. Attesting to this tangible truth are a series of graphic action portraits for Prada’s Spring/Summer 2015 Menswear campaign.

Four of today’s leading men lend their screen presence to an act of photographic forensics: Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars; Men, Women and Children; Divergent; and the upcoming Insurgent), Ethan Hawke (The ‘Before’ Trilogy; Boyhood; Predestination; Regression), Jack O’Connell (Unbroken; Starred Up; ‘71) and Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now; Whiplash; The Fantastic Four).

Photographer Craig McDean shoots the cinematic cast between London and New York. But the sense of place in is more psychological than geographical. Close-ups of hands, faces and agitated outlines conjure a sense of the unknown.

Objectsknife, orange, dice, prism, compass, pen, lens, pendulumare picked up, moved, balanced. Pensively scrutinized. Familiar things become less than familiar the more they’re looked at. As if the magical forces that make the world seem so normal have, for an indeterminately short time, revealed their strangeness.

Stitching is the leitmotiv of the collection. A graphic effect — large, small, in contrasting colours — revolutionizing and mixing classic codes while creating new ones. Modern proportions and silhouettes invoke the 1970s. Not as pastiche but pure peculiarity.

The images’ muted colour switches to bold black and white, then back again, mirroring the four actors’ fragmented mental focus. Silence, a space for secrets. In these photographs each of their personalities effortlessly perform new secrets.

Campagna pubblicitaria Prada Uomo Primavera/Estate 2015

Ci sono forze nei sentimenti, e sentimenti nelle cose: una evidente verità attestata da una serie di ritratti grafici eseguiti per la campagna pubblicitaria Prada Uomo Primavera/Estate 2015.

Quattro personaggi di spicco nel panorama cinematografico attuale inscenano una sorta di dibattito fotografico: Ansel Elgort (Colpa delle stelle; Men, Women & Children; Divergent e l’imminente Insurgent); Ethan Hawke (la trilogia Before; Boyhood; Predestination; Regression); Jack O’Connell (Unbroken; Starred Up; ‘71) e Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now; Whiplash; I Fantastici Quattro).

Il fotografo Craig McDean ritrae gli attori tra Londra e New York, ma il senso dei luoghi è più psicologico che geografico. Primi piani di mani, volti e profili irrequieti evocano un senso di ignoto.

Gli oggetti – coltello, arancia, dado, prisma, compasso, penna, lente, pendolo – vengono raccolti, spostati, messi in equilibrio. Esaminati pensosamente. Le cose note divengono tanto meno familiari quanto più vengono osservate. Come se le forze magiche che fanno sembrare il mondo così normale avessero, per un tempo vagamente breve, rivelato la loro bizzarria.

Il leitmotiv della collezione sono le impunture. Un effetto grafico – grandi, piccole, in colori contrastanti – che rivoluziona e mescola i codici classici mentre ne crea di nuovi. Le proporzioni moderne e le forme evocano gli anni settanta, non come parodia ma come genuina particolarità.

Il colore sobrio delle immagini vira a un risoluto bianco e nero, e poi viceversa, rispecchiando la concentrazione mentale frammentaria dei quattro attori. Il silenzio è uno spazio che custodisce segreti. In queste fotografie ciascuna delle loro personalità rappresenta senza sforzo un mistero nuovo.
