For the spring/summer 2019, Andrea Pompilio puts on stage the memory of a summer in Rimini, making contemporary a typical holiday scenario of the 80s.
The collection presents different characters, each with its own story to tell, from the guy who walks towards the beach with his zipped shirt with Hawaiian prints, to a French tourist in oversize démodé suit in his vintage car, up to a guy who whizzes on his bike, with a cotton biker jacket with contrasting stitching. There is also the uniform of the gas station of the time, from which the designer is inspired to revisit a jacket with the logo Andrea Pompilio in the form of a plate, combined with shorts and t-shirt, following his thought that “fashion is fun, freedom of expression and should never be taken too seriously “.
The relaxed attitude of the beach is reflected in the proportions of the garments, both on the oversized canvas trenches and on the oversize but padded shirts, in raw cut cotton or semi-transparent nylon. The trousers are worn together with sleeveless gilet, with jackets in houndstooth or multicolor sweaters. Striped and embroidered t-shirts alternate with extremely versatile jackets.
Andrea Pompilio with this collection brings to light his ability to observe the world around him.
And it is in this wake that the details are the masters, as the vintage braces that are transformed into elastic belts or the macro labels in ivory grosgrain, rubber printed with the know-how of the tradition “Andrea Pompilio 100% Made In Italy “.
His journey ends with shoes, protagonists of a timeless fashion, such as tricolor derby with studs, training made of padded nylon in bright colors or pony skin and sneakers in black leather with white laces and contrasting soles that reminiscent of racing motorcycle boots.
