Every season, we put in practice an exercise in style, where we try to essentialize in a few accessories or items of clothing what the new heights of fashion and style are. It’s hard to combine conceptual elements such as how the world is, where it might go and where we wish I’d go, but the style portfolios we put together communicate in the end exactly what we want.
For the past season, we have created a series of pictures that propose a three-layer story, where the furthest layer from the camera is a rather gray and uncertain layer, the world, upon which people try to build their lives. We realize that today, to make something that’s uplifting for the soul, one needs to have a strong shell and a great layer of protection from the outside. This is why the three bow ties we are presenting: the Duardo, the Fabio and the Florentino feature harder and darker materials on the outside and softer, lighter materials on the inside part of the design.
The reason why they are released only in the fall, even though they are chronologically summer bow ties, is because they are followed by a second part, which brings the story to completion.
Our bow ties have been appreciated by clients and professionals and we are now also creating on-demand pieces that tell stories about the wearer’s stories, may it be their career, the personal or the middle ground.
