Telfar Clemens made his debut at Pitti Uomo with a collection infused with Seventies and Nineties' references.
For his debut at Pitti Uomo, Telfar Clemens brought his irreverent, rebellious touch to Florence’s Palazzo Corsini. A big circular table was installed inside a room of the splendid palazzo showing beautiful frescoes on the walls and the ceiling.
The New York designer experimented with mixed media, which defined the range of flared pants combining denim, padded nylon and knits to create a chaps-like trompe-l’oeil effect. Different fabrics were also combined on outerwear, including an oversize peacoat and a leather jacket, while moto stitching gave a biker twist to denim separates.
American vintage sport was celebrated with tracksuits in velour, which was also used for peasant tunics reflecting the brand’s iconic gender-fluidity, also highlighted by asymmetric knitted tops and frocks. A utility touch was introduced with the applied pockets on ultra-thin nylon draped tops and cable-knitted ponchos were decorated with college-inspired graphics for a twisted preppy look.
Clemens definitely brought street credibility to Pitti Uomo in a way that felt fresh, consistent and authentic.
