Lucio Vanotti FW 2013 Collection

A house, a reinforced concrete cube from a cliff overlooking the North Sea. This is the image that hides behind “Concrete”, title of the autumn- winter collection by Lucio Vanotti, term that indicates both the concrete material and the concept of concreteness . It 's this semantic duality to wear the creations of the designer. Born in Bergamo, but now Milan based, studies at the Istituto Marangoni, Vanotti is a refined architect folding clothes to his desire for absolute purity linear. Superfluous is banned, the volumes are almost zero, the shapes perpendicular, the garments are practical, concrete. The winter proposal is clean, solid, pure, to animate there is a sea - sky duality, with shades of blue and pixilated images printed on the fabric. The naked, unadorned elegance becomes less icy from the game between rigid and fluid fabrics, waves crashing on the rocks: rubber, leather, wool, cotton.

Lucio Vanotti has taste, style and moderation. He has the rare ability to strip the beauty , until it becomes essential , simple and essential as breathing.
