VITTORIO BRANCHIZIO FW 2016-17 MATERICA collection.
In his FW 2016-17 MATERICA collection Vittorio Branchizio confirms his calling in the reinterpretation of knitwear. He takes inspiration from images of cut sections of the Arno river stones, analyzing the complex textures and their colours such as night blue, rose, arctic.
From here, he begins his deep material investigation studying fibers and yarns in order to further manipulate finished garment. The outcome is an intimate mood, pictorial, refined, pliable and gentle.
The spatial volumes of the collection recall Middle East lengths and Japanese proportions worn in layers. The tops reflect the very icons of men’s outerwear: the studded jacket, the bomber and the double-breasted jacket, all revisited in a global, frontierless flavour.
In his dedicated search for cross pollination between fashion and the visual arts, Vittorio Branchizio carries on his collaboration with the artist Sergio Perrero for the pictorial operations on garments and Uros Mihic for his research on origami.
