The approach taken to fashion by Lucio Vanotti is a utilitarian one – purist, concise and down to the basics. For autumn/ winter 2015 all of these features are prevalent. Inspired by the late 1970s, clean and efficient lines dominate and the fabrics that have been used, are displayed beautifully. Largely in soft shades, the crisp silhouette features ever so slightly exaggerated proportions. This is largely seen on the outerwear, where coats and jackets are long and lean, almost to the floor. These look superb when worn with neat and clean knitwear, free of unnecessary patterns and embellishments. Invest in pieces from this collection and they are clothes that can be worn again and again.
