hey siri, play “song for guy” by elton john
between the notes of a song by elton john and the words of a sonnet by shakespeare starts the collaboration between forte_forte and lessico familiare, a trio including alice curti, alberto petillo and riccardo scaburri.
lessico familiare tries to translate its language into disassembled and recreated garments, often enlarged, by adding abandoned curtains and wrinkling tablecloths. in the collection “poem for a guy” the cornerstones of the male wardrobe are completely glorified and evaluated.
many minds,
one heart.
four, six, eight, ten–handed made, “poem for a guy” ’s collection freely starts and spontaneously grows to demonstrate the presence of sensory similarities able to go beyond the superstructures and rational choices. unique pieces designed for a unisex identity, which is neither male nor female.
a collection featured by a future approach – nostalgic, seductive, real, and alive. every piece from forte_forte’s archive starts and transforms by hand; it is unstructured and recreated with an accurate and bespoken attention of each detail which reinvents it in a dreamlike and ironic way.
in an historical paris café.
the capsule collection has been previewed during paris’ fashion week in a poetic and refined café of marais.
a special event to meet brand’s friends, journalists, influencers and key opinion leaders, welcomed by the relaxed atmosphere which reflects the soft lines of the collection, while the pieces of “poem for a guy” ‘s collection runway among the bohemian breakfast tables.
a new archetype
of male wardrobe.
emptying and remixing the wardrobe of male archetypes, the bohémien shirts triples, the extra–polished pyjamas widen, and the striped blazers go upside–down. the shakespearian puff sleeves support glittering ribbons – new neckties of this male uniform – while trench and montgomery coats lose their aggressive nature to introduce froufrou touches and sparkling bling bling.
a soft colour palette accompanies the collection: yellow, butter–like, canary–yellow, rose, powder pink and peach hues are the most powerful. on the background, there are ivory, optical, and dirty whites.
the sharing of a deep love for the recycling beauty and the respect for the past poetry.
