A melange of two styles- classically elegant and sportswear cool – the Andrea Pompilio S/S15 collection tells the style story of an imagined bourgeois father and his rebellious son. By means of this playful concept we see punk or sports inspired elements sit immediately besides pristine tailoring and smart pattern cutting- to create an idiosyncratic and inherently versatile aesthetic.
Steadfast features of the collection- exaggerated grommets and informal-as-you-get pool slides- feature throughout, whether teamed with heavily layered sportswear ensembles or sharp suiting. The colour scheme is dominated by rich creams, rusty reds and sky blues to bold and luxurious effect; the Andrea Pompilio man wears his personality on his sleeve.
Having worked for the most prestigious of fashion houses before launching his eponymous label in 2010, the Italian designer has retained a sophisticated, high quality sensibility, whilst imparting his own brand of rock and roll edge.
