For Spring Summer 16, Massimiliano Giornetti develops a concept of clashing rhythms. He shapes a style centred on refined imbalance and designed with idiosyncratic combinations and individual gestures. Sharp graphics and luxurious materials compliment abstract geometrics and organic textures, where aplomb and nonchalance merge into a perfectly balanced symphony of eclecticism.
The well cut lines underscore the dynamic surfaces enhanced by stripes, inserts and pinstripes that design multi-sensory pathways. The 'everyday' is enriched by a wardrobe conceived according to purposely misaligned precision: high waisted trousers with a razor-sharp crease, short jackets and mackintoshes. Dry wool suits feature off-colour pinstripes, enhanced by bold stitching. Broken stripes on compact sweaters alternate precious leather inserts and raffia embroidery, while opposing geometric lines lend to exotic materials. Cactuses and monkeys whimsically appear on patches and embroidery.
The soft, mellow colour palette merges dissonances into rhythmic harmony: brown, khaki, ochre and beige are heightened by splashes of turquoise, pink and cactus green. Black is the recurrent link that blends and mellows the palette.
A tactile collage is the distinctive feature of the accessories: sandals and gym lace-ups with high rubber soles and fringes on toecaps; straw bags and pouches with leather exteriors; eyewear with inner and outer temples featuring contrasting patterns; monkey-shaped charms and pendants to offset any sense of severity.
