But we could also say “young prospects!” to introduce that curious collaboration between the proactive enthusiasm of a group of twenty-year-olds, lovers of photography, music, art and the long IVO MILAN clothing sector experience.

The Mood Board, creators of the new-born blog of the same name, have involved shop staff in an experimental shooting with which to start trying their hands at a yet unexplored area for them: fashion

Easily deceptive, full of crossed wires and stereotyped references, the label does not really match the long, well-rooted IVO MILAN tradition in its search for clothes and shapes that are far from any obsolete seasonal trend; thus, inevitably, differences of opinion but, above all, that fatal question:

how do others see us?

Seeing how young our collaborators are, they probably won’t give us the most articulate, aware answer. But that is no reason to discard such a young point of view, open to comparison, to accepting criticism and advice and to defending its green, passionate skills.

So we’ll leave you with The Mood Board shots and views of our outfits and their personal, original interpretation.

The sense of quiet resonating from the old wall behind the outfit in the foreground bring to mind that calm and carefree holiday described so well in the first chapters of Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A loan from the great American novelist for this new tour into the still interesting, and as yet unseen for a season possibilities for what for many will at last be the hard-earned summer rest.
