“A young designer for avant-garde workmanship in leather fashion.” With these few words Filippo Fanini describes his eponymous brand that is street-wear but with the soul and quality of Italian tailoring. For his fourth collection, presented at White Milano, the Florentine designer took inspiration from the famous painting by Jacopo da Pontormo “San Michele Arcangelo”: the dualism between the rigidity of the armor and the lightness of the drapery that lurk around. Fanini translates this in a modern way producing garments for men and women that are really interesting.
If the woman‘s silhouette is more consistent and structured with colors ranging from white to gold going through black the man‘s one instead has more soft forms -although prints and cuts rigidity, highlighted by a palette of cold tones, as if to break down and at the same time emphasize the dichotomy, the fulcrum of the entire collection. Very much spaces is given to the accessory where there are no shades, just black and white.
Vanguard, culture and craftmanship therefore for a talented, Fanini, who already has a great market position, like historic street-wear Maison.
