a fav: 6267 Commercial appeal

All the trends in one collection! That is how I see the very edited and very wearable 6267 collection. The military that clashes with colonial and oriental motifs keeping all very refined and still edgy . I'd love to wear any of these pieces, they are not so totally dull as many of the full blossom collections I've seen for spring 2008


"Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi have been designing anonymously for a big-name Italian manufacturing house for long enough to know exactly how beautiful clothes are put together. And now, with their label, cryptically called 6267 (it’s Rimondi’s clothing ID number from his childhood summer camp), launched in 2004, they have been able to wed their technical skills with design innovation. With this sophisticated collection, the design duo combined detail from Spanish matador costumes with a sleek, narrow-skirted line that evoked the mid-century couture exaggerations of designers like Jacques Fath and Christian Dior—all executed with a refreshingly twenty-first-century lightness of touch. Some of their silhouettes and deft draperies owe a debt to Roland Mouret. But the meticulous attention to detail couture fabrications, and seductive palette (cocoa, lilac, old rose, copper, ink) set them apart as exemplars of accomplished modern elegance."
