Corneliani SS14 - Back to the Roots

Sergio Corneliani sat his guests for a morning around the courtyard of Palazzo Reale in Rotonda della Besana. The backdrop consisted of soft white curtains that danced softly with the morning breeze, gently revealing the garden behind it. Inspired by his own travels and the importance of staying in tune with growing markets; Corneliani visited the Orient while staying close to his Mantua roots. He continues to be inspired by Andrea Mantegna and his hometown; visible in prints, details and linings. Oriental touches were apparent in the pure silks, linen mixes and the repetition of the Nehru collar. All in all, it was a collection tailored to the traveling gentleman, aesthetically aware of far-away lands but not one to compromise quality and good old Italian tailoring.
