"ONE OF A KIND"

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.

Tiny organza petals are scattered on knits and generous cardigans or utilitarian parkas with suede lingerie sets worn underneath. They appear on roomy trench coats, including suede versions, as floral appliqués that play on the hard- and soft-edged friction core to the Ermanno Scervino’s fashion lexicon. The season’s suit, a double-breasted deconstructed jacket with matching shorts, is swathed in solid pastel nuances, including the light-filled pale blue that has become a brand’s signature color. Honing in on craft Ermanno Scervino celebrates the empowering force of clothing, the very essence of fashion.

For his spring/summer 2024 show held on Saturday during Milan Fashion Week, Ermanno Scervino distills the very essence of clothing, building a wardrobe of one-of-a-kinds, unique pieces that spotlight the mastery of the brand’s atelier and its craftspeople’s sartorial know-how. 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.
