This is a love letter to craft. Ermanno Scervino carves his women in beauty, bathing them in exquisite embroideries, precious fabrics and alluring silhouettes that reflect his love for graceful femininity and artisanal mastery. A portraiture of womanhood in which confidence is self-asserted, freedom is in fashion, and fashion serves its purpose of sketching and caressing the body, gracing the personality as an ally for women to embrace their uniqueness. Fashion is inventiveness, handiwork, artisanship, and excellence.

Billowing A-line gowns as impalpable and flowing as vapor are ethereal canvas exuding subtle sensuality. Bustier dresses framing the torso are the framework for floral hand-embroideries. Plissè frills cascade, as petals hitting the ground, from tight bodices. Sophisticated slip dresses, delicately trimmed in lace, rib-knit frocks and see-through black gowns, both revealing and immaculate, add a dash of mischievous charm.
