With the new Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection, Sylvio Giardina carries on his research for a new silhouette through which individual personality can be expressed. Continuous, fluid lines tending towards infinity create a collection characterised by sinuous volumes that meet the body and envelop it. The observer’s eye tends to follow the contours and volumes of each single garment, outlining a path that begins at the neck, glides down to the waistline and finally reaches the hem of the dress, to then start anew in an infinite cycle.
The colour palette goes from night blue to dark brown, including black, dove-grey and moss-green, in classic fabrics such as tweed, cashmere, flannel, wool jersey and organza, for a nude look that is discreet and feminine. Polyethylene foam, the “leitmotiv” of the collections, is used for the “limited edition” garments to highlight contours and volumes. The dresses are the expression of two worlds, fashion and art, the one unequivocally dependent on the other, in which the culture of Italian haute couture merges with the futuristic suggestions of our contemporary age.
Sylvio Giardina is a creative person with dual identities, embodied happily in fashion (as a designer of haute couture) and art (as a visual artist). His research often reveals stylistic expression of consonance with its visionary artistic inspiration, which is currently focused and committed to the launch of its new brand Sylvio Giardina.
