IN THIS COLLECTION, I’VE TRIED TO CREATE AN INTERESTING BLEND OF CLASSICAL ELEGANCE AND CONTEMPORARY SUBVERSIVE ELEMENTS. EACH PIECE REFLECTS MY PERSONAL VISION AND FIXATIONS, MERGING LUXURIOUS FABRICS WITH AN IMPECCABLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. FROM THE SILK LINING PICK-STITCHED BY HAND, TO THE FINEST PINSTRIPE WOOLS I COULD FIND FOR THE PANTS.

EVERY GARMENT HAS BEEN A CHANCE TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AND MY SKILLS. BUT IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT FABRIC AND AESTHETICS; IN TODAY’S WORLD, AT LEAST THE ONE WHICH I HAPPEN TO SEE EVERY DAY, BEING WELL-DRESSED IS A FORM OF REBELLION IN ITSELF. THAT’S WHY IN THIS COLLECTION I TRY TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS AND EVEN MYSELF TO EXPRESS THEIR PERSONAL STYLE, WITHOUT BEING TOO BOLD OR EXTRAVAGANT.

WHILE STILL BEING ATTENTIVE TO CLASSICAL MENSWEAR STAPLES, I’VE DRAWN INSPIRATION FROM VARIOUS WORLDS THAT HAVE ALWAYS INTERESTED ME. STARTING FROM ROCK MUSIC, I’VE TRIED TO SUMMARIZE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WERE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FASHION ELEMENTS THAT MADE ME THINK MICK JAGGER WAS SO COOL.

I’VE REACHED THE CONCLUSION THAT A FEW THINGS COULDN’T MISS IN THIS SMALL COLLECTION: A PAIR OF SKINNY JEANS, A CLASSIC RUFFLED SHIRT, A PAIR OF FLARED PANTS, AND A TRENCH COAT.

THESE GARMENTS, AS SOMEONE WHO HAS STRUGGLED TO FIND CLOTHES THAT FIT MY SLENDER FRAME, NEEDED TO BE SLIM IN MY VISION. WITH SMALL, HIGH ARMHOLES AND TIGHT SHOULDERS, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FIT OF SOME OF THE CLOTHES SEEMS ALMOST FEMININE. I PERSONALLY WOULD SEE A YOUNG PATTI SMITH ROCKING ON THE STAGE WITH SOMETHING I MADE.

AND LET’S NOT FORGET THE MILITARY-INSPIRED DETAILS THAT ADD RUGGED SOPHISTICATION TO THE COLLECTION. FROM EPAULETTES TO UTILITY POCKETS, THESE ELEMENTS INFUSE THE PIECES WITH AN EDGY AND POWERFUL VIBE, KEEPING EVERYTHING MASCULINE IN CONTRAST TO THE SILHOUETTES.

IN ESSENCE, THIS COLLECTION WAS A FIRST TENTATIVE TO EXPRESS MY VISION AND TASTE THROUGH FASHION, CHALLENGING MY SKILLS WITH MORE COMPLEX PATTERN-MAKING AND FINER FABRICS, COMBINING ELEMENTS FROM MY PERSONAL INTERESTS WITH ORDINARY MENSWEAR CLOTHING.
