Spektre

The brand personifies all the most relevant Made in Italy assets: a consistent aesthetic conceived, designed and produced in Italy using first-quality materials only, injection and cellulose acetate frames manufactured by the historic sunglasses manufacturer Mazzucchelli 1849, as well as high-end lenses produced by Silo Multilayered in the mirrored versions and by Carl Vision Optics by Zeiss in the opaque ones.

The new Spektre collection introduces the following models:

• Audacia (bravery in Italian), is the “crown jewel” of the collection. As suggested by its name, it is a bold but timeless frame made of the finest Italian acetate with a hinted drop-like shape. It bares a metal nosepiece and comes complete with high quality lenses. Classy and confident, this frame suits those who dare.

• Met-ro (short for metal-round), bares a design reminiscent of the 70s culture through its ultra light metal frame and high quality lenses. Extreme simplicity meets edginess, making this pair of shades the right pick for those who wish to stand out while staying dash.

• She Loves You is your diva eyewear par excellence. A big, important frame exuding impeccable elegance that speaks a refined and mature language tainted with irony. Suitable for women of all ages.

• Semper Adamas is the masculine counterpart of She Loves You and is the most discrete pair of Spektre. Discrete but with character, its a classic-but-timeless pair of shades that comes in colors varying from tortoise shell to burgundy to black.

All the lenses used by Spektre provide sun protection factor 3 from UV rays and are 100% polarized, making for a great choice whether it be for taking a stroll on a white beach in the Caribbean, skiing on the Alps or running around a metropolitan city.

The cork bags of Silvia Massacesi received special treatment to be water resistant yet super light and flexible. One of the peaks of the collection was the inlay work shaping the silhouettes of owls and wings of dragonflies. A “well-educated” brand that shows the influence of William Morris – the English textile designer famous for making prints in woven textiles – and of the Wiener Werkstätte, the Austrian production community of visual artists that became famous in the early twenties for reflecting the taste of Viennese high society.

Winner of the Vogue Eco Talent Award 2013, in this eco-chic handbag collection Silvia Massacesi combines advanced technology and romanticism using only natural or recycled materials.

Jenì on the other hand, mixes metal, leather and animal prints to amplify the impact of the designs and the power of materials. Looking to the strength and beauty of the female warriors of our times, the combination of strong lines, clean shapes and sophisticated handcrafting techniques result in timeless items. A fitting look for those who appreciate a luxurious way of life without having to give up comfort.

For Miss Gummo, manual expertise is a family tradition as is the ability to turn something simple into a contemporary work of art. Examples of this are the brand’s felt hats and the precious headbands. Playing with outrageous shapes and colors, Miss Gummo reinvents classics and steers away from clichés, drawing inspiration from past Hollywood glamour but throwing in a bit of fun and drama.

The social project “Fumne”, is a homage to dynamic women. The pieces talk about art through the work of a group of incarcerated women in Turin. Every handbag, clutch, shoulder bag and backpack is produced in different materials, embellished using handmade embroidery and tells a story that weaves emotions, sensitivity and determination.

Always looking to the past to feed its future, Cor Sine Labe Doli breathes new life into outdated items by making them must-haves for an ultramodern look. Proposing a whole series of elegant yet unconventional fashion items like necklaces, ties and pocket squares inspired by real gentlemen’s wardrobes, the brand also revisits its iconic first creation the “Primo” bow tie in a variety of tints and prints.

Dandy men who love eccentric details and who can’t wait to let their punk essence run wild liven up their nights out wearing glazed ties, studded bow ties and camouflage prints, while the morning sees them back to their impeccable gentleman self in silk bow ties in rich colors and classic prints. The Cor Sine Labe Doli woman on the other hand, steals her man’s accessories and uses them as precious jewellery to give her feminine outfits that extra touch of grandeur.

The reinterpretation of traditionally male accessories creates a new persepective and makes interchangeability the key to connect the male and female fashion worlds. The bow tie thus becomes a bow-choker as the ties assume the role of exquisite girly accessory.

But Cor Sine Labe Doli’s must for this season is “Cardio”, a heart-shaped pendant and brooch that bears a conceptual and emotional value that perfectly embodies the meaning established by the brand’s name: a heart not blemished by betrayal.
