Everyday wearability goes a step further and uses the technique of graphic art to deliver a strong touching message to the fashion world. Born from the idea behind the photographic project of Salvatore Arnone; “The Fifth Day”, the S/S 2014 capsule collection “Save Your Animal” bears the portraits of endangered species in the form of close-up prints on unisex t-shirts and minimal mini dresses in modal jersey and silk. In a new concept of contemporary art on textiles, the collection also pushes communication boundaries whereby the animals piercing the lens with their deep gaze, seemingly look at us to inquire about the future that awaits them.

Enriched by an avant-garde stylistic research and study of ingenious cuts, the creations are produced by La Maison du Couturier; the fashion company of designer Lamberto Petri who’s personal collection was already selected to be in Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan based Multi-Brand store Spiga2 – a conceptual space entirely dedicated to the discovery of upcoming Made in Italy fashion talents.

For the 84th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo in Florence, an exhibition at the Aria Art Gallery strengthens the value of uniqueness that connects art and fashion by showcasing this limited edition collaboration between Salvatore Arnone and La Maison du Couturier. Twenty percent of the exhibition’s profits will be donated to the zoos and structures that host endangered species, in order to better their quality of life and contribute to their survival.

As the claim states: “Save your animal. Make your choice”.

THREE QUESTIONS FOR ELEONORA 
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

#F: What do you think are the distinguishing elements of Made in Italy?
EC: The quality and the selection of materials to create garments that become one with whoever wears them; just like a second skin

#F: Which concept or mood best represents your style?
EC: My icons are Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn and most divas of that era. I’m inspired by the 1950s, blues music, femininity and self-confidence, the image of a cigarette in one’s mouth, sexy women and soft hair waves.

#F: What do you think of the designers we’ve selected on Fashtags so far? What are your preferences?
EC: I appreciated  Vivetta; the pastel colors and unexpected details like the huge bows and the neoprene daisies on the oversize coats. The limited edition collection of  An Italian Theory’s Alessandro Enriquez with Azzurra Gronchi very much represents my Sicilian roots; the colored fabrics are so summery and they remind of the typical folklore of Southern Italy.

In the first S/S 2013 man capsule collection named “Roots”, and in the woman capsule named “Flos”, attractive and bold fruit and vegetable prints oppose crisp and dynamic flowers. Jersey fabrics and fluid satin silhouttes show-off essential cuts and clear lines, and depict refined prints of totem subjects.

It’s through the use of modern digital printing techniques on textiles, that these unusual compositions are expressed to the fullest. Using a variety of nature inspirations, fruits and vegetables, the photographic talent Carolina, freezes surreal and enticing images on a black background and leads the mind back to the Italian Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo renown for the creation of human subjects composed entirely of fruits, vegetables, fish, birds or even books.

Tothem’s F/W 2013-14 woman collection; “Shiny”, represents a world of innate beauty told through the photographic concept of the Totem Bijoux: amazing decorations inspired by the material essence of gold, coral and crystal. Street style meets sensuality in an intense experience of graphic interactions for all women who wish to wear precious and contemporary fashion.

The male collection “Dub” instead, presents yet another fresh and modern approach to visual identity: bone, wood and plexiglass mould into geometric textures with a slightly vintage taste and bears robotic-hypnotic inspirations, space diamonds and 3D spider photographic prints.

Emotionally involving its observers, Tothem offers the chance to be a part of the select “fashion experts” who are able to understand and wear genuine works of art with a real artistic sensibility.
