Luciano Soprani fall 2010 Milan

The endless research for the future of clothing led Soprani to create a new elegant mannish style with the come-back of overchecks and fabrics borrowed from the menswear. A shy femininity hides in trench coats and flat sole boots, masculine style jackets and lace up shoes and glows in the tints of red and pink splashed in a palette of grays, browns, camel, oil, cobalt and black.

Beautiful trompe-l’œil superimpositions give the idea of the passage from the virile shapes to the womanly sensuality. Far from a constructed silhouette, the lines are very loose and slightly oversize giving comfort and ease. Military details adorn double-breasted blazers on top of fluid dresses and colorful patchworks accent the collection through inlaid panels of leather on gloves, shoes and bags.

The evening wear is still very androgynous and monochrome with a little draping or with mosaics of paillettes highlighting the shoulder, the cuffs or the neckline.
