Gazzarini

SPRING - SUMMER 2011

I'AM A BIRD

IT IS AN IDEA OF BRIGHT LIGHTNESS, THAT PERVADES THE ENTIRE COLLECTION OF MARCO CIAMPALINI FOR THE BRAND: THE JACKETS ARE SOFT, ALMOST SINK INTO THE BODY, THE PANTS AUGMENT THEIR VOLUME THANKS TO A SMART PLAY OF DARTS, VESTS SEEM TO MELT WHEN LOOKED UPON, TRANSFORMING INTO NON CONSTRICTIVE HARNESSES. THE PROPORTIONS ARE VALIDATED BY STRANGE ASYMMETRIES AND SARTORIAL CUTS. THE DETAILS DISAPPEAR, WHEN THEY ARE NOT STRICTLY NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE SENSE OF A SILHOUETTE. EVEN THE "CHIODO" IS MADE UP OF A SOFT FABRIC. LIGHT EVEN IN COLOR: THE WHITES, BEIGE AND EVEN THE POWDER PAIRED WITH DUST, AND THE LAVENDER MIXES WITH SAGE. FOR THE EVENING, THE DIAGONAL LINES ARE EMPHASIZED BY THE GLOSS AND MATT CONTRAST.

Fall - Winter 2011-12

Archaic Line

Different cultures communicate between each other, by removing details in order to give a new meaning to shape. This is the way Gazzarrini code originates, by which ancient weft types and patterns form the substance of fabrics, inverting the role attributed from tradition: this is the way in which woolen fabrics develop into the base for sports wear and cotton fabrics can smartly dress urban society. An out-of-the-ordinary use of – scoured or dyed - wool crepe – is compared with shape movements in mixed linen, so as to launch a new idea of winter lightness. Endless are gray, mud, off-white nuances as well as color nuances, starting from warm mustard up to deep navy blue shades. Comfort, deconstruction, softness are the symbol words of this collection, a perfect synthesis between body and structure, represented by the pure shape of kimono.
