MILAN, Jan 23, 2005/ FW/ – Enough of the macho muscle man; the bookworm studious lad is sexy. Intelligence is charming and knowledge sensual for Biagiotti Uomo next winter.
Laura Biagiotti creates a library wardrobe for her ‘campus boy’ filled with neat knits that are at times reminiscent of gentlemanly cricket whites, English traditional goodness in sartorial cuts and College sports buff mutated details.
‘…quality and details. From literature to baseball, from the workshop to athletics, all indoor and outdoor activity in and around the campus inspired by a wardrobe of intellectual-glam, a stylized ‘Beautiful Mind’. The press notes state.
Luxury and comfort become complimentary through thick wool overcoats, double front pleated trousers and deluxe track pants that are detailed with cashmere side hem features.
Weaving and plait knit motifs merge with checks, stripes and patterns, leaving a carefree fashion attitude to linger among the charismatic gifted man Biagiotti portrays for autumn winter 2005/06, like the bow ties won with polo shirts and maxi pockets that become functional before fashionable.
The high collared color palette suggests autumn leaves falling on the campus paths, rust, all browns, white and ecru, red tinges and green tundra.
Old leather school bags, rimmed reading glasses and tartan sneakers accessorize a collection that is inspired by lifestyle rather than decoration.
Conservative professor looks mix with those of the student avant-garde resulting in a collection of subtle definition and precision.
