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.
