Shapes, surfaces and colours. Calibrated shapes, three-dimensional surfaces, sumptuous colours.
In the Prefall 2024/2025, Ermanno Scervino expresses his passion for proportions, special fabrics and workmanship, deep shades that enhance the richness of materials. Impalpable coats and jackets maintain a slightly egg-shaped silhouette, others are sculpted and marked at the waist.
Tailored jackets are sleek, close-fitting, geometric like boxes; trousers, always masculine and
abundant, never seem to end; shorts appear everywhere in the collection: under leopard-print
leather trench coats, together with puffy, rounded cardigans, with silk bon ton shirts. Bustier dresses are sculpted and play with body shapes.
In the collection, the fabrics and materials are never 'static' but: shiny, like the unusual, drooping
corduroy, light satin and lacquered nappa; deep, like suede, quilted microfbra and denim-printed cady; shiny, like silver-sprayed barbed and black leather; mellow, like soft double melange and voluminous but light knitwear. The vitality of the materials increases when holes grow out of the surface of the double, when silk satin is,transformed into lace, when a raised foreal design emerges from the sleeves of coats. And the colours: dark brown, light blue, dusty pink, ivory, golden camel, pale grey and smoky grey, together with the leopard print, are designed to give thickness, luminosity, movement and vigour to the precious materials. Prefall 2024/2025 is a tale of high tailoring, in-depth research and clean elegance.
