CO|TE SS14

CO|TE, an Italian fashion brand founded by two super talented young designers, Francesco Ferrari and Tomaso Anfossi, both graduated from the famous Instituto Marangoni in Milan.

ミラノのファッション界で若手デザイナーへの注目が高まってる。

ミラノの有名なInstituto Marangoni で卒業した男性のデュオデザイナー、Francesco Ferrari と Tomaso Anfossiから設立されたイタリアのファッションブランド、CO|TE。

ブランド名のすべての意味はシンプルでパワフル。 CO| TEは、（イタリア語で）避難所と保護の意味、これらの強力なテーマが彼らの本当に素晴らしいコレクションに示している。

First of all the meaning of the brand’s name, simple but powerful.

CO|TE means shelter and protection, both of these strong themes depict the thoughts of the designers through their truly amazing collections.

Tomaso and Francesco presented their first collections both in Milan and Paris, while in 2010 they were also featured in the Vogue Talent’s list of emerging designers.Then after many successes they presented their collection on Vogue Italia’s Who is On Next?.

Superb talent along with a great start gave birth to impressive pieces, very young and colorful, something to catch to escape from the mainstream fashion. Of course everything’s match up with the best Made in Italy tradition.

There’s one thing that catches the eye when you look at (or should I say stare?) their collections: Materials.

In a world dominated by fast fashion it’s unusual to see such an attention on materials. I love them because sure they are lovely hand-made pieces. That’s why I’m waiting for a Men’s Collection♥

Well, let’s go and see this SS14 Collection!

All the dresses greatly follow the female body line, still expressing femininity in a romantic way. Casual tailoring combined with sartorial pieces and sporty clothes never looked better, especially with those gold full finger rings (knuckleduster) brightening the outfits, just love them!

すべての服は非常にロマンチックな方法で女性らしさを表現し、女性のボディラインに従っている。

仕立て作品やスポーティな洋服の組み合わせは凄くプリティー。

印象が強い女性ですが、それでも、ロマンチックでゴージャス。

コレクションは、非常にユニークで新鮮です。

The impression is a strong and curios woman, but still romantic and gorgeous.

The collection is very unique and fresh, enriched by embroidery and treated sequins bring a python leather effect on skirts, tops and jackets creating a shimmering 3D snakeskin.

These are my favorite looks. ↓

Enjoy!
