Fornarina Apparel + LTD Fornarina = LTD ODD!
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006
The exploration of new territories, distinctive element of Fornari Group’s DNA, have led the company to take up a new adventure in the fashion world. Fornarina’s workshop launches the first LTD collection. It is a line of apparel and shoes with a soft style inspired to the new glamour: sophisticated and peculiar. The collection is conceived to enhance the soul of Fornarina women and to complete the possible uses of the garments in the different life styles.
A dash of the past and a salt of the future; irony, utter femininity; retro-tinted glamour and plastic fantastic pop: the LTD collection for spring/summer 2007 is eclectic in a very sweet kind of way. Vichy checks and ice-cream colors provide a sugary vibe, while bold multicolor prints and strong black and white graphic motifs, make for a visually stunning outcome. The tidy, proper but-not-too-proper Happy Days inspiration shares space with gung-ho 80s flamboyancy and then some stark op art severity; technical fabrics are mixed with lurex, sequins, colored studs; otherwise, things take a dolly turn. Irreverence and a proclivity for odd, playful mixtures are the LTD signature.
First step in a succession of paid homages from label April77 to those who make or have made Rock ’n’ Roll. Starting from December 2006, 500 unique and numbered copies of slim griffé Gibson jeans will be sold in 3 prestigious sales points: colette (Paris), Dover Street Market (London) and Loveless (Tokyo). A part of this « collector item’s sales - dedicated to all you rock fans - will be given to charity… 500 copies only, not one more!
