MILAN, Jun 24, 2007/ FW/ --- Gaetano Navarra is sailing the web decked out in rock climbing gear! For his Spring/ Summer 2008 collection, he wanted to stress ‘man’s endless challenge to the sea’ and how the future is inevitable. It just so happened that ‘ours’ is to be in the form of technology. The clothes were an extreme take on sportswear inspiration that Gaetano Navarra pulled off with his daring designs.

Using sailing as his inspiration Gaetano Navarra took the liberty of changing sailor knots and cords into mountaineering gear.

Carabineers worked as closures for belts while colored cording detailed the open back of different designs. Using colorful straps and mesh the shoes took the clue from Balenciaga’s ultra sporty Fall 2007 line, taking shoes to a whole new level somewhere between art and fashion.

Sailing inspiration came in the form of piping details on trousers that take inspiration from the sails rather then the sailors. The look is very precise and independent the huge backpacks with dangling straps that even had water bottles attached to it, were just an example of how prepared the Gaetano Navarra man is, to face the world.

With neon colors and sporty high tech fabrics, Gaetano comments on the modern-day cyber activist. It’s a new kind of techno that is an internal movement for the individual rather then a large culture trend.

An ultra sporty line that is so detailed and thought out that it’s pushed to another level. Like always the ideal customer for Gaetano Navarra in no way is shy because his styles are to bold to go unnoticed.
