For Spring/Summer 2014, 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.
