As I once wrote, his collection S/S2014
only confirmed this: Ivan Rocco is a master
of combining different patterns, colors and materials into an unique unity.
This time was a combination of flowers and Burberry inspired plaid patterns,
accentuated with a bold yellow, close-to electric blue, pinkest pink and
intense red. Classic materials mixed with technical ones to obtain a very
lovely and desirable streetwear meets sportswear inspired collection, with a novelty
of adding menswear (his first time) too.
As a representative of mostly black or monochromatic
outfit combinations (and design), this collection opens mine, a till that day (I
thought) never existed, colorful part of me and make me tempted to try…so I
call it, “Rocco-effect” on me! :)
