THE SPRING/SUMMER 2013 L.E.G. WOMAN IS MULTIETHNIC
With its L.E.G. capsule collection, Alviero Martini 1ª Classe brings a woman displaying cosmopolitan femininity to the catwalk.
A collection made of soft shapes and volumes that glide over posh fabrics featuring exotic colors that have been stolen from the Far East.
Silk takes a leading role being offered as satin, jacquard, chiffon and is paired with boucle, embossed and ottoman woven fabrics.
Cocktail & night outfits are offered with lengths that dictate when they should be worn.
White, black and beige hues become pure light and are interchanged with gold, red geranium, fuchsia and poppy red to create a color block look or contrasting effects.
Knee length dresses with ruffles and kimono dresses are interchanged with classic clear cut sheath dresses and evening gowns.
Elegant the one-shoulder dresses.
Tops and bustiers, embellished with ruffles, are offered with matching skirts and trousers.
Knee and ankle length chiffon box pleated skirts, share the limelight with tulip shaped ones.
High-wasted tuxedo or “baiadera” style trousers of various lengths are also available.
Outerwear encompass ultra-short bomber jackets, blazers that emphasize the waist, revisited trench coats and safari jackets.
Geo print silk jacquard t-shirts and tuxedo trousers ranging from beige to gold hues offer a new bon ton twist and create a total look. Bomber jackets paired with tulip shaped skirts are also offered with the Geo print.
Feathers become ornaments and are set as clusters onto sheath dresses, skirts, sweatshirts and bomber jackets as well as to embellish tops’ ruffles.
Contrasting color piping outlines garments’ contours and highlights the silhouette throughout the collection.
Light games are displayed by pale gold-coated silk outfits.
Handbags blend with the garments taking up the contrasting piping effect. Made with soft yet structured leather, Boston bags, clutches, tote bags, travel bags, messenger bags and obo bags are offered with a hot-stamped crocodile print embellished with feathers.

A play of unusual combinations and contrasts applied to the shapes, materials and colors. Perfectly ironed tailored slim-fitting jacketsare combined with trousers made of textured fabrics with a worn-in look, characterized by special washes, or by low-waisted cargo styles in garment-dyed canvas.
Jackets in technical fabric with a crumpled organza finish are paired with tailored chinos. The reversible concept for jackets is developed using technical fabrics either in cotton/linen in shades of blue or in mat-weave cotton/ramie blend in natural shades.
The Scervino man plays with the concept of the suit, by which the shirt – in chambray or stretch Oxford – plays the role of jacket and is matched with pants in the same fabric. The biker-style jacket is made of raw linen knitted in linen stitch; the trench coats and military blazers in dyed canvas.
The crumpled and ironed contrasts re-emerge in the shirts range, showcasing prints, embroideries and embellished by buttons with aged-silver finish and mother-of-pearl snap buttons. Made in light muslin, micro-stripe stretch cotton, or in linen chambray in a mixture of plain powder-blue tones, striped or with chequered designs, enhanced by darn-style embroideries.
The new short sleeved knits come in mohair with a double-plait effect in jersey, with a light weft in shades of aqua green, powder blue and flesh, or made of cashmere in natural shades of sand. The knitwear is made of ultra light, almost impalpable yarns such as linens and silks, which mould themselves to the body; alternatively in chunkier yarns, knitted in micro moss stitch for the linen-steel, in irregular cables for the raw linen, and in fabric stitch for the cotton.
Accessories: The shoes, laced-up English style, two-tone in nappa – white/black, white/brown and white/blue – or in single-shade split leather in the brightest colors, are subjected to a special wash treatment to obtain a slight melding of the colors. Two-tone stretch straw hats, work bags and micro-boule chain bracelets round off the collection.
Colors: Blue shades steal the limelight: from sugar bag blue to the pale blue of washed-out jeans through to midnight blue, which we also find matched with military green. Another important role is played by natural shades such as white, off-white and sand, combined with softer variants, sometimes vintage such as aqua green, powder blue and flesh.

The silhouette is precise, but smoothed around the edges. Double-breasted jackets are paired with full or slightly flared pants, drawing a masculine, sensual line.
There is an appreciation of all the little details that are integral to the ritual of dressing up: waistcoats are worn under suits and coats as a defining layer; shirt collars closed with tie bars are invariably paired with a necktie; straw hats with a wide brim complete most outfits.
Masculine patterns in graphic black & white create a light crinkle: stripes of different width and small textural dots add a layer of visual friction.
The alternation and amalgamation of ease and elegance, day and night is a constant shifting of codes: tuxedo bands, done in cotton, land on day trousers; a zipper rims the waistband of a pair of dress pants; black jackets sport white lapels; satin ribbons replace buttons and hooks on a coat. Double-breasted and cutaway create elegant lines in movement.
The colour palette is classic, with unexpected accents: white, military green, grey, black, touches of red. Fabrics are precious, yet deliberately rough and intensely tactile: linen, cotton, cotton-metal, silk-linen, double jersey.
Accessories include straw hats with a satin band, lace-up brogues in canvas and hand-treated leather, wingtips, varnished canvas boots. Bags add an urban twist: leather totes with studded details, canvas and leather satchels, leather duffels with a linen effect.
A vision of elegance that is roughly perfect and classically imperfect. John Varvatos’ signature rock n’ roll is still there: it is an attitude.
