concept

Seeking to define"luxury" in menswear, by combining the latest advancements in technology available in 2008 with traditional craftsmanship and heritage. In terms of shape and construction the idea was to create an undiscovered, original wardrobe a diamond for a man, based on a strong and defined look. Filippo wanted to convey a sense of energy in each garment, by looking at the urban landscape and a new generation of men looking for distinction, quality, convenience, functionality that’s ready for the future.
