Sylvio Giardina

Nuptus, the new collection of Sylvio Giardina for Spring/Summer 2012 is inspired by the concept of veil and cloud, seen as two ever-changing forms of nature. Searching for a new silhouette and distorting the aesthetics, the artist takes the female body away from the traditional fashion circuit and gives it a clear and flexible vision. The collection SS 2012 draws a soft and yet dynamic form of a body, whose proportions are redefined in favor of a structure of curved volumes.

The underlying theme is in fact the sphericity of the female figure that accompanies and defines an outfit. The aim is to liberate the body of every woman, to make her feel light and at ease. The movements are fluid, almost liquid, and are reflected in the futuristic use of polyethylene foam and jersey. This mix of fabrics brings for a highly sculptural appearance that turns the models into pieces of art. The final touch is given by the Swarovski crystals inlays that slide of the soft surface like water drops. White, black, orange, copper, light blue and green inspired by military uniforms dye jersey, jeans, worked-cotton features in the collection of jackets, vests, t-shirts, shirts, skirts, pants and dresses that are born only to enhance the freedom of movement of the female body.

Sylvio Giardina’s creative nature is embodied in a person with dual identity. An experienced designer in haute couture and at the same time a visual artist, he manages to create a successful synergy of fashion and art.
