When it comes to Ermanno Scervino’s designs, nothing is left to chance: the designer has always been fascinated by denim, perhaps not surprisingly considering his dad never allowed him to wear it when he was younger. It’s a perfect recipe for an obsession to grow. His plan to master the techniques around it is how the resort collection became an ode to blue jeans.
From classic denim to elegant marocain printed in light and dark colors, Scervino skillfully reinterprets tradition, blending modern investigations with a sharp focus on accessories. “We like to experiment with new materials and realize unique details,” he said while going through denim mules and woven cruise bags. “This season we played with new ways of working with raffia, through intricate embroideries that enrich cardigans, boots, and skirts, as well.”
A floral theme emerges with intensity, defined in different color combinations and techniques that lend dimension and movement to the garments. Embellishments of handmade poppies showcase traditional craftsmanship, but also “a flower that I’ve always liked as it represents resistance and freedom,” the designer explained further.
Scervino took icons like Bianca Jagger and Jane Birkin as references. He called the 1970s “a decade of change, rebellion, and free love: a perpetual inspiration and reference to my creative process.” Cargo trousers are protagonists as much as silk crépon and light macramé dresses.
