The SS15 collection is an ode to the geometries of German Abstract art of the beginning of the 1900s. Colors and shapes are reinterpreted through a unique conceptual yet playful flavor, driving the creative taste of artist Paul Klee right into the hand-applied oversize colored stones, in the volumes and primary shapes defining the clothes, in the necklines and cuts.

The king fabric used throughout the collection is cotton, with thicknesses ranging from compact double-cloth trench coats to soft poplin shirts, from embossed effects to transparent organzas, fil coupé techniques, jacquards and laser-cut embroidered surfaces even on double face pieces.

Shirting is very present and translated into t-shirts and dresses, and goes hand in hand with sweatshirts in mock leno weaves, contrasting knopped surfaces, and mini-maxi textured details alternated between jackets, tops and skirts. Technical fabrics find their reason-to-be too, in jackets and raincoats with intangible laminates with a liquid effect.

Solid color blocks punctuate the strength and brightness of the collection with ultramarine blue, teal, pool green and citron, softening when it comes to the tints of sky blue and nude. Last but not least, black is used to define the character of pastel shades that come combined in light variations of white, milk and ice.
Overall, the Alessia Xoccato’s SS15 collection strikes the eye as an inescapable game of elementary geometry supported by a rich and vibrant melting pot of material compositions.

Born as a dream in a world made of friendship and founded on a sense of belonging to its native origins, Cor Sine Labe Doli looks at the fashion world with the eyes of a child. Growing internationally since its first ceramic bow tie in 2009, it molds “innocence, simplicity, refinement, linearism and curiosity” in every single artisanal creation it makes, and preserves its innate spontaneity still wishing “to take nothing for granted, not to have patterns and fears, always wondering why things are”.

Founded by Vivi Ponti in 2008, Vivetta is a small Italian label now sold in boutiques worldwide. Full of beauty and bows, with a touch of surreal irony and girlish rock & roll attitude, Vivetta bakes bon ton and retro with a new taste.

With a DNA that’s 100% Made in Italy, the signature style of the brand is the sweet result of a superb creativity that combines amazing designs and unexpected details.

⋄ BRAND IDENTITY ⋄
A brand centered on fine quality, innovation, and Made in Italy craftsmanship whose motto is; “Nothing is perfect. Everything has a crack in it, that’s how light can filter through”. Embodying elegance and sensuality through random contaminations and prints, 1.dark level’s luxury also lies in the intellect. From its profound and multilayered creative level, it investigates uniqueness to tell exclusive stories made of matter and humanity: only a muse who lives in pursuit of the unknown and who digs deeper into the subconscious level within herself, will be able to wear the true “dress of life”.
The different approaches used to express this deeply-rooted identity often make use of cinematographic language in the form of short movies, new media and performances.

In 1.dark level’s S/S 2013 collection “ALCHiMiA”, the subconscious is given life with the trademark visual and material mixes in an explosion of primary colors and prints. Inspired by ancient color recipes and how these appear in food, the collection pastes ancient-modern pattern effects on silk tops, shirts and leather t-shirts, and sprinkles blue azulejos and flowers throughout the looks. Everything states the antithesis of “dark”, staying away from black and gloomy imagery. Appealing to modern extroverted women who are capable of mixing and matching, “ALCHiMiA” brings together brilliance and personality.

⋄ CONCEPT OF COLLECTION F/W 2013-14 ⋄
Contaminations, fabric mixes and color matching concepts are once again the pillars of 1.dark level’s new collection. The insight is an even deeper journey into the essence of Made in Italy and reveals a strong visual research that highlights the richness of handcrafted products.

⋄ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION F/W 2013-14 ⋄
Royal blue and rust are the leads. Ice pink and yellow ochre make up the details while fluorescent geranium plays the attention grabber. Microdesigns, design mixes that build up lines, psychedelic and arabesque prints on jacquard fabrics, embroidery and inlay work.

Daytime viscose crepe and nighttime shine, silk crepe de Chine for shirts, Milano rib jersey and soft crust-like leather, leather with designs in relief or with pink and black metallic effects. Silhouettes with sleeves inspired by bat wings and oversize coats to embrace them. Mohair meets wool and alpaca highlights the luminosity of embroidered pieces.

Freshly-conceived necklaces accompany the total looks like transparent crystal flowers. Opulent strass shapes and “blue montana” crystals are either set on plexiglass bodies or held together by a ribbon.

Your parents have always told you not to play around with your food but what happens if you have fun with your clothes?
Mixing, moving and matching are the basic characteristics of Flavia La Rocca’s creations. Designed as modular pieces that aim at the full expression of the women who wear them, the Italian designer’s clothes are clever and fit just about any and all moods and situations, in any way you can come up with.
Good to go for travel-lovers who wish to accompany their dynamic lifestyle with comfort, adaptable, experimental and environment-friendly; these garments save raw materials and energy during the production process.
With their cool dna and clean lines, proudly presenting a highly feminine attitude and a great attention to details, Flavia La Rocca collections are also entirely Made in Italy. As Flavia puts it “I like the idea of proposing a different approach to clothing, a different attitude: perhaps an evolution”.

• CONCEPT OF COLLECTION F/W 2013-14 •

The inspiration of Flavia La Rocca’s Fall/Winter 2013-14 collection is the city in all its metropolitan aspects; its thriving essence, its urbanistic components, the chaotic lifestyle of the everyday and women’s inevitable necessities.
Neat but bold lines design a renovated concept of femininity, and slightly oversize volumes bring on a masculine accent. Fabrics with different stories spice up the garments, and show an influence that goes from classic to “futuristic” styles, as well as introduce a touch of ethnic taste.

• PRODUCT DESCRIPTION F/W 2013-14 •

Straight-meets-oval lines and shapes in a selection of interchangeable and modular pieces of clothing. Coats and jackets present multifunctional identities, and dresses, skirts, tops and trousers create new looks through a multitude of combinations, colors and fabrics.
Black, cream and hazelnut tones, wine purple, rust, teal and turquoise live in solid colors or in cotton or woolen geometric jacquard styles. Basic jersey and lurex are alternated by exclusively ecologic fur and sheepskin.

• BRAND IDENTITY •

The brand Simone Rainer unites the traditional essence and craftsmanship of leather and the unquestionable precision of geometry in a mission to recreate ideal beauty and perfection. From the brand’s logo – a pythagorean pentagon enclosing an isosceles triangle – to every single handbag made, the basic common principle of perfection that is the golden ratio rule is applied. This mathematical constant algebraically expressed as Φ phi (=1,618), is found in all volumes, proportions and dimensions, and right down to the smallest detail.

Rainer’s desire to exceed his own vision of superlative aesthetics is also seen in his personal interpretation of the three phases of the alchemic process that transforms base substances to gold (nigredo, albedo, rubedo). With this concept in mind, every one of his collections gives life to special and unique leather finishings and treatments, such as black etched calfskin, touch-sensitive color-changing nappa lambskin, and 9 carat gold powder prints.The S/S 2013 collection keeps Rainer’s basics in place while exploring the human body at its crudest. Inspired by Diderot’s and D’Alembert’s encyclopedia and by Rembrandt’s “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.Nicolaes Tulp”, he dissects and examines all the body’s components. The result is a set of unusual and diverse handbags that interpret organs and their textures, and are reminiscent of the scientific accuracy of autopsies and lab work.
