Seconda intervista per The Men Issue e per max.gazzetta.it in collaborazione con Jaguar: Bill Shapiro, creative director dietro del menswear Moschino. Siamo partiti dall’Hotel Bulgari dove ho incontrato il fotografo Dennison Bertram per definire gli ultimi dettagli di un fashion shooting. Dopo, attraversando la città siamo arrivati fino alla sede di Moschino, dove abbiamo registrato questa video intervista guardando e commentando con Shapiro la collezione autunno/inverno 2013-2014.
La prima suggestione che arriva è lo slancio con cui i due designer creano le collezioni. Immediatamente dopo si capisce la passione con cui affrontano questo difficilissimo mestiere e il loro desiderio di innovare e di rompere con la tradizione e, soprattutto, con il passato. Sebbene la maglieria, che è il punto forte della produzione Les Hommes, nel fitting e nell’uso del jacquard e del patchwork rimandi ai pullover in voga negli anni ’80, la loro bravura sta nella riedizione contemporanea di quella certa attitudine che fa ancora discutere. Personalmente sono affascinato dallo styling a strati, tuttavia – se fossi in loro – lo ripulirei un po’. Nel girato che vi propongo, Tom Notte e Bart Vandebosch raccontano in esclusiva per The Men Issue il loro impegno e amore per la moda, mentre scorrono le immagini della sfilata FW 2012, che tra poco verrà consegnata alle boutiques.
The first thing you notice is the enthusiasm the two designers have for their collections.Afterwards you get how big is the passion they have for this difficoult job, their desire for innovation and their intention of cutting out tradition and the past in general. Even though their knitwear, which is the selling point for Les Hommes, remind us of the 80s for their fitting and use of patchwork and jacquard, the duo’s cleverness lies into the ability of suggesting that certain attitude that keeps people talking. Personally, I ‘ve always been fascinated by the styling of layers, however if it was up to me, I’d probably simplify it a little bit. Exclusively for The Men Issue, in this video Tom Notte and Bart Vandebosch tells us all about their love and devotion to fashion, with images of the FW2012 collection, soon available in boutiques.
