Frankie Morello Spring/Summer 2013 Collection

Street Cou­ture–For their spring/​summer 2013 menswear col­lec­tion, Frankie Morello design­ers Mau­r­izio Mod­ica and Pier­francesco Gigliotti had a lit­tle fun, lead­ing their man into a campy ver­sion of a dark and urban Los Ange­les. The clas­sic dual­ity between black & white accom­pa­nies the Frankie Morello man. For this col­lec­tion, the design­ers revis­ited the tra­di­tional streetwear and sports­wear, embell­ish­ing them with gold reflec­tions, as seen on the metal­lic mesh pieces or into the over­size golden jew­els and chains. Frankie Morello’s man of swag­ger also loves to get dressed in a sophis­ti­cated and sar­to­r­ial way, reworked for the occa­sion in an uncon­ven­tional way. Think about python prints, that dec­o­rate leather or techno-​​fabric pieces, black lace, sparkling crys­tals details, or the exclu­sive “Ghetto Blaster” motif that revis­its the leg­endary boom­box, the insep­a­ra­ble techno-​​friend of a real “B-​​Boy”. This col­lec­tion is surely about sports­wear and streetwear, but the way they’re pre­sented is def­i­nitely more detail-​​oriented, reveal­ing an almost-​​couture sense of style.
