It has been a while since we not coming back to the space/workshop that contains every our activity: online catalogue composition, shop windows, communications, presentations and everything in general gives life to the shop. In fact everything takes place inside the boutique in Via Santa Lucia, in Padua city centre. Here the collections selected during the buying campaign find their placement, they are interpreted and put together in combinations possible only in context where different brands live together, as happens in our space. For this reason it seems to us interesting sharing fresh seasonal glimpses that is not possible to imagine just watching the pictures on the website.

Talking about this…any suggestion to improve our job? The pictures with a darker background, lights and shades extending the garments movement, slow down the catalogue exploration or instead allow to understand with more likelihood the wearability of jackets, dresses, sweaters, etc?…

The unfailing exercises around the black colour of the great Japanese master compose a Spring/Summer 2015 definitely less austere and formal than the previous editions.

Slimmer volumes, alternated with more bare widenesses, underline an explicit femininity, almost surprising for the Yohji Yamamoto’s strict formal tradition, interpreter of an intellectual decency that is hardly able to identify itself in manifest gender simplification. The emerging of a new sensuality, inside complex and nonconformist stylistic habits, hardly could tell itself or could be identify through predictable codes, as bareness and tight lines.

Yohji respects characters and feminine shapes with the poetic intensity of the silk, operated with ancient and laborious Ikat dyeings or embellished by metallic sequins on rhinestones anything but regular.

The textile virtuosities meets themselves also in less striking expressions, with mimetic effects that hide the Prince of Wales and give it back creased and faded on dark black tones, but also shaded and pictorial floral printing or on the devoré from which field of flowers surface. If the more noble traditional heritage intervenes in the choosing of the fabrics, it’s always in the lines constituent ability that the Yohji’s aesthetic knowledge recognize and complete itself: a strategic balance of void and height, with asymmetries placed along the more critical points of the feminine silhouette, allow even to the less regular figure to find out itself suddenly of a completely unexpected charm and beauty!

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:

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.

Dressing on the sale doesn’t mean having to make do with clothes that are uninteresting or even mediocre. When there is an extensive choice, only a cursory glance, and items characterised by a certain formal complexity, it is inevitable that you could overlook the wearability, as well as the possible and many combinations that transform them.

A multi-brand store can become distracting and require an effort to envisage items that have little similarity. How to combine a t-shirt? And that skirt or those pants, what can I wear with them? These are all typical and recurring questions.

But the flexibility offered by an eye that is trained to mix colours and volumes could prove an invaluable help in building up your personal style, and without any exaggeration, your totally unique style.

One only has to think of certain horrific combinations in collections that were circulating during the winter months, gaining unconditional success, like the one from Comme des Garçons, for example?

So then, if you on the other hand feel the need for harmony even in the asymmetrical and unconventional proportions of a so-called radical fashion design, follow the suggestions worn and put together by our expert tutor Sari! Trying out, combining, putting together and understanding what works for us is just a question of practise!

This title serves as a perfect introduction to the meeting between the shots taken by the young photographer from Padua, Giulia Magnaguagno, and the offerings for autumn from the store IVO MILAN.

The concept of ‘outside the neighbourhood’ refers to the external perspective, and from certain viewpoints, also refers to being outside the boutique in Padua, which usually shows its range inside the spaces that have now become familiar to public online.

But it is also an indication of the subject around which Giulia shoots her photographs, in other words, a journey. With the focus centred increasingly on the strong scenic and aesthetic presence of the female form, the dimension that moves is suggested by minimal touches: luggage, roads and changing backgrounds. The elsewhere is intentionally presented and is based on the models themselves. They interpret the clothing designed in different places and cultures, immortalised in set contexts; which are easily recognisable for anyone that knows Padua … from the historic centre, the famous university observatory of Galileo Galilei in the vicinity of Specola, on the Ponte Molino and Ponte di Ferro bridges, to the countryside surrounding the town centre.
