Injecting an attitude of sportswear into Agnona’s sewing culture, creative director Simon Holloway shifts the emphasis from casual formal and neutral to color as the house takes on a more expressive summer mood.
The collection is modern, minimal and rigorously detailed, with a slight nod to the great masters of American sportswear, but always with an Agnona point of view. Key pieces include kimono, poncho and tunic paired with soft wrapped skirts, slouchy pants and white t-shirts. The twinset is composed of a mesh with a pure layer on the top, one of the several pieces that protrude the accessories of soft textiles the famous Agnona. Jackets and double-layer coats open up the sides and under the arms, are worn closed tied with hanging ribbons to accentuate the relaxed attitude.
The key fabrics of this season son double-sided cashmere, the upper woven in a spike pattern with the shadow print on a solid tonal below, two-color super light double-sided chino crepe, cotton twill coupled with cashmere voile , wool poplin, and unlined silk for soft-tailored blazers and cotton cotton, a compact piece for trousers and trench coats. Also used is knit silk jersey with viscose to give a more exaggerated drape and silk twill comes with prints of paints or touch of shirt complements the knitwear.
