Y's, Yohji Yamamoto, Showroom, Youtube

Click here to see IVO MILAN at work at Y’s Yohji Yamamoto showroom in Paris.

The season sales could be boring, with the pedantic reappearance of garments already seen and maybe perceived, euphemistically, as leftover stock. But this is also the moment when the more relaxed rhythms allow us to go into and to share the vision of the choices still present in our shop.

In fact we are able finally to make available one of the film shot during the Paris Fashion Week, March of the next year, at Y’s Yohji Yamamoto showroom.

From the 1990′s, during the buying campaign, we got the habit to shot our selections. A supplementary work, which introduce itself in the complex activity of the seasonal buying, to start the comprehension of elaborate collections, often difficult, even for the mere fact of being very far and different from what the conventional channels usually show and advertise. This commitment, maybe not excellent from a ‘technical’ point of view, brings forward and allows to metabolize the garments that will be housed in the shop.

It’s a video heritage that not only will gradually compose our wide documentary archive, but could quietly insert itself in the present, to appreciate at their best garments, in many cases already part of the winter wardrobe of our customers, that are still available in our online catalogue and naturally at our shop in Padua.

Below, in sequence, the main characters, so to speak, the survivors of our video:

Summer time, holiday time, time for yourself. Departures time and packing time. For this new tour through our summer suggestions we took inspiration from that pre-departure trepidation, recurrent on this season, typical of those days preceding the long-awaited holiday. We imagined our clothes going on vacation, putting them into different hypothetical luggage. It doesn’t matter which will be your destination. A relaxed evening at the sunset on the seashore or a more reckless backpacking day in the mountains, a walk through the ancient splendour of a city of art or a crowded afternoon in the streets of a modern metropolis, we tried to adapt our choices to different holiday scenarios in order to make the clothes good traveling companions in every journey you will decide to embark on. As well a chance to mix up for you the items on sale, putting them under a new light and revealing the possible and various combinations. Enjoy it and above all enjoy your holidays!

Detail sweater Oyuna

The strength of globalization is at work here!

From clothing to home accessories, the British designer brand Oyuna, has had the genial idea of combining the finest cashmere from its native country of Mongolia, with its most established manufacturing tradition from Scotland.

If Mongolia is among the top producers in the world and without equal for quality, the chemical properties of the water in British streams have enhanced the luxurious softness of this noblest of yarns for centuries.

The rareness of the material limits distribution of the product to a small circle of select boutiques around the world and makes it difficult to find and, paradoxically, to learn of its reputation. A strange by-product of marketing products of superior quality nowadays is that they are often not granted the attention that they deserve. And so it is that this obscure label’s elegant sweaters remain, for the most part, unknown.

knit cashmere reversible jacket

Despite all of this, it would be quite wrong to expect to find the reassuringly traditional styles that are so usual in cashmere sweaters. Oyuna knitwear blends the basic simplicity of its lines with additional key themes,

using overlapping

and double weaves

and asymmetric panels, revealing a design sensitivity that is decidedly modern and open to the influences of the most daring fashion designers in the industry.

Gauze, flannel, and jerseys, are perhaps the most remarkable transformations of this noble raw material, which are decisive in determining its final shape.

Silhouettes and cuts make each piece completely functional and part of the sophisticated collections, which are at times complex though certainly never obvious, that make up the all-new Ivo Milan store collection.

This is a collection to be touched and admired but especially, one that should needs to be worn to appreciate its proportions and unpredictable characteristics.

Pants Pleats Please

The title chosen for the Pleats Please winter collection is a tribute to the work of the most prominent Mexican architect, Luis Barragàn.

Abstract shapes and lively multicoloured designs on bags, trousers, dresses and sweaters strongly recall that lush and surreal Mexico interpreted by the architecture of the master from Jalisco. The vast wall surfaces painted with bright colors, often crossed by unexpected cracks that offer glimpses of fountains of crystal clear water, are echoed by Issey Miyake’s most famous pleats.

The designer has always personally designed Pleats Please, a range which has always been the subject of his most joyous fantasies. Every season it is devolped by following a guiding theme. If, in the past, the most representative paintings of the Italian Renaissance embraced the entire silhouette in the form of dresses and t-shirts, now the inspiration is clearly Barragàn’s Mexico.

The deep pink of flourishing tropical bougainvillea, the yellow gold of the earth and the bright local houses, or the crisp blue of the cloudless sky and the sparkling blue of the clear waters, dissolve in the volumes of clothing and accessories in high-tech textiles.

Detail T-shirt Pleats Please

In fact, each garment is initially cut and sewn on flat fabric, it is only later, thanks to the extremely advanced techniques that have been patented by the well-known Japanese Maison, that it undergoes the pleating process. In addition to allowing extreme volumetric plasticity, this unique pleating remains intact over time. It is so practical that it can be machine washed and transported anywhere, as it always keeps its shape.

A timeless, poetic product, Pleats Please gives its best when mixed with other suppliers, by completing them with surprising harmony.
