SIMONETTA RAVIZZA, LUSSO QUOTIDIANO

02/21/2013

Simonetta Ravizza thinks about the entire day of a woman, so she creates a transversal wardrobe , made of interchangeable dresses where the common denominator is the cleanness of the shapes which provides comfort and elegance. There is a keen taste for layering, so the jacket is worn over a pretty fur vest, leather jacket over a speckled pattern kimono and tied at the waist by a belt, while a stole is tied on the black leather t-shirt. The protagonist is fur, luxurious mink, fox, sable, often masterfully joined together by the skilled hands of artisans, enviable pride of the made in Italy; but next to the tradition there is also place for research and experimentation, because this is how an historic brand looks to the future while continuing to remain leader: parkas and bomber jackets are made of hand waxed technical fabrics and sometimes rendered absolutely urban by the camouflage motif, while the thin black leather not only is the protagonist of skirts, pants, sweaters, but often is decorated with geometric inserts in contrasting colors.
