ERMANNO SCERVINO - HARMONY IS IN CONTRASTS

By Franco Lorenzon @nonsololook

For Ermanno Scervino, harmony is in contrasts, which tell the story of women in their multiple but coherent personalities. 

Feminine and masculine, delicacy and strength, frivolity and severity meet and compare, but never fight. The most precious laces blend with full-bodied wools of classic designs, dry and essential cuts with romantic softness, animal prints combined with frivolous delicacy. It is in a duality of opposites resolved with an elegant spirit of synthesis and a unique, all-Italian craftsmanship. 

This collection is once again crossed by elegant contrasts, expressed with gentle strength. The enunciation is dry, taut, vibrant, and highlights the craftsmanship of the garments, their balanced and harmonious design: impeccable suits; down jackets treated like couture objects; enveloping coats and sweaters; liquid dresses, lace petticoats, tuxedos. It is defined as a wardrobe, made of garments suitable for any occasion of use, with the unmistakable Scervino imprinting in the double processing, in the precious inserts and embroideries, or in lingerie taste. Care and precision are resolved with superlative softness. The garments accompany gestures, mould themselves on the body, enhancing the apperance of the person. There is no sign of hardness. 

The amalgam of wool, tweed, velvet, cashmere, and silk accompanies a chromatic flow of white, black, white & black with touches of yellow, gold and light blue, notes of neutrals and nocturnal peaks of black and lurex. 

Once again, with this collection, the designer creates an unconditional celebration of feminine beauty.
