In his past f/w 13-14 collection “Concrete”, Lucio Vanotti expressed his rational creative touch by fusing beauty with utility in a set of interchangeable pieces inspired by concrete pillars and an angry sea. This time, the concept behind his S/S 2014 collection lies in the anatomy of squared surfaces, rectangles and boxes. Mathematical equations dictate the structure of perpendicular shapes, translating into a dimensional game of interactive and contrasting silhouettes that never neglect the bond between surfaces and textures.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

In one part of the collection, understated items flow through an essential palette of black, white, grey and blue, alongside conflicting striped fabrics, minimal squares and small hole details. The classical jacket goes armless and brings forth the deconstructed, boxy attitude of squared essence found also in pants, shirts and shorts.

In total contrast to this rigid feel, comes the lightness of the other part of the collection. Injected by a dose of ideas derived from sculptor Brancusi’s sinuous sculptures, Carl Andre’s geometric minimalism and artist David Hockney’s pool series, garments breathe intimacy. Creams, hued pinks and pinches of rust, accompany the pool water and egg/sky prints adding a graphic edge to the simplicity of all the collection.

Surfaces are grainy similarly to a metaphorical second skin, while textures and classic fabrics merge in a unique answer to innovation. Selections of alcantara, smooth silky cotton stretch, crisp seersucker, mako jersey, white plissé cotton and lightweight knits, give a translucent finish.

Fausto Puglisi dreams to possess an atelier but has an industrial vision of it: lots of Italian labs creating state-of-the-art garments to be delivered to his clients in elegant hat boxes bearing their names.

The Sicilian-born designer who went to America aged 18, gets discovered by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana with their “Young Designers” project. Personally chosen to be showcased in their exclusive multi-brand store Spiga 2 in Milan, Puglisi is exhibited alongside the newest names in fashion in an atmoshphere of shared culture and innovative aesthetic ideas.

With his profile on the rise also thanks to personalities such as pop star Madonna and Vogue Japan’s editor-in-chief Anna Dello Russo, Puglisi chooses Amber Le Bon – the daughter of lead singer from the 80s cult band Duran Duran, Simon Le Bon – as his muse for the F/W 2012 campaign, and presents his first S/S 2013 collection in the hall of the prestigious historic Palazzo Serbelloni situated in the heart of Milan.

Entirely produced in Italy by specialized artisans, his creations are born to exceed absolute luxury. They are made for women with a party attitude who represent strength and glamour today; contemporary princesses and rockstars who also seek casual but well-constructed business attire.

Puglisi loves visual culture and mixes both high and popular culture, turning his brand into a world of inspirations: Sicily, Italian neorealist films, the American star system, Roman gladiators, modern architecture and the Mediterranean Baroque. As of 2012, Puglisi has also been nominated creative director at the famous Italian fashion brand Emanuel Ungaro. Fausto Puglisi can be summarized as: the one who will no longer show 2D items of clothing like everyone else, but who will homage fashion with a new 3D perspective.
