MILAN, Jun 25, 2007/ FW/ – This season colors are turning phosphorescent and neon’s are showing up all over the catwalks. Laura Biagiotti though has found a way to make the neon’s clean and almost preppy. Taking inspirations from a Rubik’s cube in fluorescent colors, Biagiotti plays with the idea of a puzzle, the simplicity and the complexity of its workings.

Clothes work much like the rubrics cube a classic form that at first look seems nothing to much more complicated then that. She focuses on elementary style while re-contextualizing the male wardrobe. Mixing silhouettes so that slim fits intermingle with oversized ones. Neon in this case becomes anything but neo-rave, keeping to the classic Biagiotti style its luxurious with hints of preppy.

Using basic colors of black, white and khaki, accent colors come in small vibrant doses. Relaxing fitted white pants with new white aviator style sunglasses are brightened up by T-shirts in contrasting colors. When bright colors just won’t do it, iridescent lurex and hyper-technical metallic sheens, take there place. A jacket and shorts combo of metallic gold puzzlingly works when paired with a simple tan polo.

The collection remains classic but also tells a story of youth with not only the color combo’s but also the visual blend of silhouettes and fabrics. From transparent to bulky and styling of long trenches with Bermuda’s Biagiotti takes a blend of ideas and creates a concrete style.

While fashion and looking good still is important, the world has come to terms with the fact that there is a lot more out there we need to take into consideration. Summer versions of jackets such as the bomber, trench coat and parka become the key items in the collection because of the climate changes. The world is much like the Rubik’s cube, a very simple and complicated thing sometimes the one step we take makes all the difference.

As Laura Biagiotti said in her press notes: “Men’s fashion is no longer an elite exercise in style, but increasingly becomes a cultural laboratory for expressing oneself and one’s aspirations.”
