A Legacy of Style” is the inspiration that accompanied STEFANO RICCI into Gabriele d’Annunzio’s world at the Vittoriale degli Italiani, which is transformed to present the new Spring/Summer 2017 collection, hosted by the Vittoriale Foundation and its President, Giordano Bruno Guerri.
“Gabriele d’Annunzio was defined as the Arbiter elegantiarum. The photographs of him at the Vittoriale are a hymn to a style that is pure inspiration. I wish to express my profound gratitude to the president of the Foundation for granting us this privilege,” states Stefano Ricci, who has dedicated a reinterpretation of a complete outfit to the Vate, which will go on to enrich the D’Annunzio Segreto Museum.
The three-piece suit is made of SR Super 150’ wool and cashmere; its particular curved lines are inspired by the Poet’s clothes, and offer a pleasant and dynamic vision of contemporary elegance. The suit’s characteristic rounded cuts are found in the pleats and in the lapels of the jacket, in the five-button waistcoat and in the shirt collar, which has been made entirely out of exclusive STEFANO RICCI cotton. The formal care and craftsmanship of fine tailoring is revealed in the unique silk linings. The profile of the pants evokes the flavours of the fashion of the time; with iconic slant pockets, stitched pleats, and a buttoned fly.
