The past is information, a non-nostalgic beginning to create an intentionally futuristic collection that starts from retro inspirations.
Trench coats and double leather coats, worked as soft silk, are laminated and unlined. Jackets are tailored, oversized and mannish. A combination of contrasting colours and materials reveals a rock inspiration.
Lace, ruffles and decorations embellish a total white daywear, made up of mini dresses and iconic slip dresses. Black and white graphic prints decorate crêpe de Chine dresses and oversized quilted jackets. Overdyed gold jacquard fabrics are used for dresses, jackets and trousers. Canvas, macramè and knitwear have a wet-effect.
Crochet ruffles outline gazar or organza gowns, cinched with belts at the waist. Belts made of crystals and mirrors, coated rubber, canvas or raw-edge leather. Cuissard boots closed by piercings, square sandals or mannish moccassins.
Style codes become fluid and interchangeable. The Scervino woman walks down the runway accompanied by a man who shares the same aesthetics with total white trenches and tailored jackets, glazed sweaters and overdyed brocade suits.
Different worlds, styles and inspirations blend together and harmonise in Ermanno Scervino’s tailored style.
