Known for its avant-garde spirit and clean, inherently wearable designs, Italian label Marni presents the latest offerings from its Fall/Winter 2015 collection. Headed, as always, by founder and designer Consuelo Castiglioni, the Milan-based brand’s cold weather range showcases a mix of textures, luxurious fabrics and a slightly off-kilter, yet immaculately tailored aesthetic that fits seamlessly into the house’s signature style. Among the standouts this season is Marni’s accessories range, which includes everything from leather zip wallets to sneakers and an all-new collaboration with Japanese luggage specialist, PORTER. Can’t-miss pieces include paneled calfskin and rubber sneakers, colorblocked nylon wallets, totes and backpacks by PORTER, and a luxurious calfskin leather shopping bag in blue — all of which showcase the brand’s artisanal touch and avant-garde approach.

Diesel Black Gold SS 2016

Diesel Black Gold presented its Spring/Summer 2016 collection during Milan Fashion Week. For this collection, creative director Andreas Melbostad reworked an adventurous safari inspiration setting it in an industrial, metropolitan scenario.

Through a modernist approach, the utilitarian and the urban are combined in the collection, which is rooted in a stark, masculine aesthetic. The cold color palette, ranging from chalk white and pale gray to black and blue, enhances the sharp attitude.

New volumes are introduced in the outerwear. Survival jackets, bombers and parkas featuring pockets, flaps and adjusters, are cut for an oversized fit. These contrast with the skinny silhouettes of denim pants, which are cut extra long to achieve a crushed effect. They also come in textured versions with horizontal patches stitched all the way up the leg or are coated for a glossy vinyl-like effect.

Layering is at the core of the collection. Elongated utility vests, as well as iconic leather biker jackets embellished with grommets and lace-up details, are worn over sweatshirts trimmed with striped details and the season’s new shirts – long zippered poplin styles with funnel necks and long sleeves.

Everything is infused with an irreverent feel, also echoing in tailoring, where suits feature safari pockets and utilitarian details.

Emphasizing the urban, adventurous and functional spirit of the collection, footwear includes chunky basketball-inspired high-tops, as well as canvas desert boots with rubber soles, new biker styles and suede chukka boots.

Minimal, utilitarian bags, worn across the body or hunkered down the waist, are perfectly incorporated into the looks.

MYKITA / Damir Doma “BRADFIELD” Sunglasses

Modern handcraft, historical shapes and an illusory construction all come together in the newest model from the MYKITA / Damir Doma collection, BRADFIELD, which takes the collaboration to a new level.

BRADFIELD appears to consist of two frames. Yet on closer look the complex construction is re- vealed as a trompe l’oeil: the outer frame, a classic panto shape from only 0.5mm stainless steel is paired with perfectly rounded rims. Inspired by the pince-nez from the early 20th Century, the circular lenses appear to float before the frame-front. The trompe l’oeil aesthetic is accentuated by the visual reference to clip-on sunglasses from the 1980s.

The perceived complexity of the construction is just an illusion in this case. In actual fact the frame-front, as per MYKITA’s design principle, is made from one flat piece, which is folded in half in multiple steps by hand, gradually brought into shape and secured inside the outer frame with the help of two flaps. The construction is a tribute to modern handcraft.

The perfectly round lenses, a recurrent motif in the MYKITA / Damir Doma collection, meets with the classic panto glasses for an edgy look – a visual reference to the retro-futuristic style of steampunk.

BRADFIELD is available in the colourways Silver/Black with black-grey lenses, Gold/Forest Green with green lenses and Silver/Cinerous Grey with mirrored lenses in silver.

The model will arrive to all MYKITA Shops, via www.mykitadamirdoma.com, the Damir Doma flagship store as well as selected opticians and fashion stores worldwide.

This season Santoni exits the boutique of via Montenapoleone to occupy the beautiful spaces of Palazzo Bocconi with an installation conceived by Patrick Kinmonth and Antonio Monfreda visionary duo of curators and creative directors, authors of sensational multi-sensory interventions.
