Issey, Miyake, Sculpture, Jacket, AW 2014

Less than one month from the Christmas holidays, many cities have already mounted sumptuous decorations on trees, buildings and along the streets. Being a great occasion to set on stage the kitsch or more successful urban aesthetic experimentations, the voltaic excess of the moment lights up for sure the December anxiety-inducing question: What am I giving to…?

A strong anxiolytic against the stress caused by the search with no results, running and dipping into over-crowded and definitely unflattering places, could be starting a more comfortable exploration of the online catalogue…From the painted Very Busy cashmeres to the engineering Bao Bao Issey Miyake bag, or the Fulvio Luparia scarves and the inimitable Issey Miyake pleated spirals, the choice becomes a walk around the Radical Fashion panoramas.

It is a lash of autumn icy wind, suddenly taking us away from the tepid wakes of an already gone summer, dazing us with nostalgia, domestic promises and burning fires, with wood scents and longing hues, that has been captured in the textile patterns of Daniela Gregis winter collection.

With an extraordinary pictorial sensibility, the designer from Bergamo translates the emotional essence of the coldest season through a clever combination of colour and fabric. The cashmere, treated with washes, in the refined chestnut tones returns the surprise of the fruits in the October brushwood, as mushrooms impossible to find and half-opened husks.

The wools, always washed into creased crêpe, take back to the night harshness of dark or clear blue skies.

And in the same way her ever-present silks, being taffetas or crêpe de chine, allure the more melancholic expression of the season, the foliage fleeting fate, from the beauty of the yellows, of the oranges, to the brown of the pile of leaves withering on the ground in the end.

Independent garments, in their brand new solutions, with tubulars changing the shapes from time to time, from fluent and wide to gathered and crouched.

Dresses that are part of a temporality definitely dissociated from the poisoned frenzy of the contemporary metropolis, remembering and inviting with firmness the pleasure of living our time in a better way.

Here the project presentation video produced by Cà Foscari University. Sorry, we are still waiting for the English subtitles but here you can watch some IVO MILAN ordinary life moments with the Cà Foscari researcher Erika Cavriani.

In the last months the University Cà Foscari of Venice –the oldest Business School in Italy and one of the first in Europe- is dealing with IVO MILAN through a research competition, financed by European founds, which investigates the opportunities of the sustainable innovation for the manufacturing business through the cultural heritage ‘refunctionalization’ of the company archive and of our boutique.

Comme, Des, Garçons, Ivo, Milan, Archive, AW 2012-13

Trippen heavy-duty boot style ankle boot in cowhide leather, closure with strings and strap with outer side buckle, smooth leather on the heel and on the toe, the other parts in rough leather, removable cork insole, rubber sole.

The exceptionality of this research lies in the fact that for the first time they chose to use and set off the “archive deposit” (partially available online in our YouTube channel and in the Special Room section) of a commercial and not industrial business, recognizing the lead retailer role and identifying the knowledge value deposited in our ‘historical memory’ as a potential strategic hub useful to re-launch the creativity and the innovative capacity of the Italian fashion industry. We have been chosen for the shop personality and for its particular address (radical fashion curator), for the long business history (118 years and today with Sari and Soili, Orlando’s daughters, the IVO MILAN story has now entered into its fifth generation), for the impressive archival heritage gathered together, for the forty-year information technology experience and for the e-commerce website, almost entirely run among ourselves, thanks to which, for more than 6 years, we are operating worldwide.

It must be acknowledged that all this happened for the elective affinities we discovered, through our often difficult but timeless dresses, with our costumers, without which it wouldn’t be possible to tell this extraordinary story. And here we have to admit that, more than our storytelling capacity, important was their cultural background, precondition and evidence of a wonderful openness to the new and of an outstanding spirit of independence from fashions and trends.
