After we read it (and I also report it on
my Facebook page) yesterday about Jil Sander leaving the position of creative
director at her eponymous label…today already came out some speculations (ok,
let´s just say guessing, rumoring and gossiping) who can be the successor. One
name popped out…and this is: Gabriele Colangelo. The Milan-based designer, who´s
career has begun with Cavalli and Versace, launched his brand in 2008, which is
recognized as an elegant, timeless label designing innovating pieces and
reinventing the concept of grace and luxury. This innovating side and luxurious
fabrication in combination with the precise cut, is really similar on how Jil
Sander worked.
While waiting if these rumors will be
confirmed, let´s take a look on Gabriele Colangelo latest work, his S/S 2014
womenswear collection. Inspired by Raku, the Japanese form of ceramic, the
collection is composed of mostly simple shapes, like linear dresses, clean
coats, and samurai pants. These natural lines in earthy colors (white, beige,
charocal, sapphire blue and black) are enriched with pieces made of graphic jacquards and
mink jackets, vests that simulate the veiny surface of the Japanese vases. Rich and expensive materials made into something
very daily, very calm, clean and so Zen.
