Stefano Roncato, the fashion director of MF FASHION, tells us about the role and strength of colour in Ennio Capasa’s latest creations.

“This is a collection that has less black than usual. Elegance and directness relay a special effect based on a strong and vibrant colour palette.”

Ennio Capasa talks about the latest collection he has designed for Costume National.
“It’s kind of pop-chic inspiration that mixes the essential nature of the brand with the euphoria of Andy Warhol-type pop art. The results are fluid with essential shapes and forms to caress the female body, highlighting and enhancing women’s beauty with full and strong colours.”

POP CHIC
Repetitions and variations

Turquoise, orange, red, blue and black are the colours chosen to enliven Costume National’s 2011 spring-summer catwalk in a precise sequence of chromatic blocks and “that indefinable component of cool at the root of my work”.

Ennio Capasa, designer:

“A few months back I created a look for the “OK GO!” group that had to be both minimalist and pop. The project involved four tailored outfits, each in a prime colour. They’ve gone down really well and still excite me. That started me off on imagining a pop chic concept for this collection with my shapes and fabrics created in unusual colour combinations.

The result is a collection of fluid forms and soft clothes that slither over the body with a special “over” version for evening wear. Pants are high at the waist and narrow at the ankle while jackets stand out for their strong black silhouette and mannish cut.
These items have no stitching – they have all been tailored using state-of-the-art laser and heat-welding techniques. All in all a collection of deconstructed couture in which sartorial tradition meets the avant-garde.

Fabrics and materials are fluid and light: silks and viscose, see-through nylons, organza crepes and glove-effect leathers.

Shoes have techno-organic wedges and wooden heels while strap and clutch bags come with aged nickel and silicone details.
