Squares. The essence of squared surfaces, rectangles and boxes rooms invites for pensive research
on form. Form is subject to structure and structure in turn is innate to shape. By exploring the dimensions
of mathematical equations, one appears submerged in perpendicular dialogues. In this
morose setting, stripped of all frivolities, one does not sigh, one articulates. For SS14, Lucio Vanotti
explores the dimensional interplay of silhouettes, by dissecting his collection into two interwoven
sections. This dissection allows for contrast and interaction, without eliminating a dialogue on surfaces
and texture. A more understated group of willful garments, consists of black, white, grey and
blue notes, expressively contradicted by striped fabrics, minimal squares and small hole details. The
classical jacket is deconstructed, allowing for the arms to be removed, to add onto the boxy feel of
the collection. Loosely inspired by the likes of Brancusi, David Hockney’s pool series and Carl André’s
rigid sculptures, the other section of SS14 is notably lighter, breezy and rather intimate. Here
garments are centered around a colour-palette of creams, hued pinks and notes of rust. The understated
pool water and egg/sky prints provide a further graphic edge to the minimalist feel of both
groups. Overall the surfaces are maintained a little grainy, to resemble a metaphorical second skin.
Lucio Vanotti further explores textures and fabrics, by merging classic fabrics in an innovative composed
manner. Selections of alcantara, smooth silky cotton stretch, crisp seersucker, mako jersey,
white plissé cotton and lightweight knits, are used to create a translucent feel. A return to fluid shapes,
materials and hand-feel is contrasted by the stern boxy shapes of the jackets, pants, shirts and
shorts. This inquisition into the anatomy of shapes, lines and their textures, shapes another chapter
in Lucio Vanotti’s didactic dedication towards sartorial understatement and effortless composure.

LUCIO VANOTTI A/W 13-14 -CONCRETE-
Absolution of all restrictive conditions is a pivotal condition for coping with the raging elements. Alongside
the sea in turmoil, a stern strongly lined concrete structure stands erected, whilst it sheds it’s composed
dressed inhabitants from the torrential rainstorms.
This novel AW13 collection by LUCIO VANOTTI, is derived from the institutional play between texture, structures and shapes. Deriving from the square shape, tessellate forms have been drawn as perpendicular silhouettes. Useful, basic and composed, the garments serve as sartorial tools for forward thinking leaders.
A composition of rigid, cement-like sturdy materials and fluid fabrics, allows for textural interplay. Rubbers, opulent leathers, sleek wools and sheer cotton stretch have been yielded and fused with one another. The resulting lineage follows dressers’ rationale, deriving from structured craftsmanship, with a focus on shirting, jackets and tees. The cool colour palette, comprised of dark blue, hued greys, blacks and crisp sky blues and whites, underlines the resolute Nordic and wintry appeal of the collection. Henceforth, variations of minute depictions of concrete surfaces, the human eye and pixelated sea have been added as print detailing.
LUCIO VANOTTI also introduces, in collaboration with PETER NON, a sultry dress shoe, reminiscent of a sleek sandal. Henceforth, LUCIO VANOTTI aims to equip urban travellers with a personal take on the iconic rucksack, comprised of quilted leather and sturdy waxed rubber. The collection CONCRETE allows for stern reflection on daily escapology and the irreverent exploration of the suspension of time.
