L.B.M 1911 S/S ´13

The S/S collection of L.B.M is still this year full of great looking unconstructed and unlined jackets made of high-quality fabrics treated with unusual dyeing techniques.  

As a bonus there’s some attention-grabbing double-breasted jackets such as the denim one, some nice windowpanes and finally some bold plaids.

More pics of the l.b.m and other lubiam collections (that I shot last summer at Pitti Uomo) can be found from here.

Casual elegance combined with tailored appeal.

Thing that characterizes Lubiam F/W ´13 collection is that many of the fabrics used in it have been enriched with kind of a special dyeing treatment process and exclusive wash (especially the L.B.M 1911 pieces) that gives the garments an “old & lived appeal”.

Colors used are much natural, tones of blue, grey and brown but there are also strong colors such as orange, green and red bordeaux presented especially in the outerwear pieces.

And as many others, Lubiam also had this season a bunch of outerwear pieces made of Casentino wool. This type of wool is a Tuscan tradition where the wool fabric is treated in such a way that it gives it a unique curled look which definitely makes it to stand out of the crowd.

Founded in 1911 by Luigi Bianchi, Lubiam (that actually stands for LUigi BIAnchi Mantova) is one one of the oldest clothing companies in Italy. The company that manufactured clothing for both men and women until the 1920s (when it decided to drop the women line) is still controlled and run by the fourth generation of the Bianchi family.

As expected the Lubiam stand at this summer Pitti Uomo was absolutely one of my favorites. It was the last day we went to see it (quiet, not that much people around, so we got all the time we wanted to see through the collection) and I have to admit that I really enjoyed just to walk around the stand looking at the set up and styling trying to what I’ll go after once these pieces hit the stores.

This is what you are going to see (and wear) next spring, including L.B.M 1911, the more classic Lubiam 1911 and also the line Luigi Bianchi Mantova.
