Last but totally not least… As it’s about five weeks before I’ll be heading to Florence again it’s a good time to come up with the last collection review from Pitti Uomo 83. “Poetry in the fabrics selection and lightness in style” The new era Tombolini is bringing up and that was already seen in the S/S ´13 collection is light. The lightness is the main concept especially for the Tombolini “Zero Gravity” line that features suits and jackets manufactured by a new technique by Tombolini and with fabrics such soft silks and wools that are extra light (weight in grams so light that you could say is almost weightless) but still hold you in a warm embrace. The “Flying” line that features sport coats made for...

“Tradition of excellence” Two more F/W ´13 collection reviews from Pitti Uomo 83 left before starting to get ready for the next fair in June and collections for next spring and summer.

When I saw the first pics and previews of Norwegian based Berg&Berg S/S ´13 collection, I was really impressed and inspired. I’ve had few experiences of their products and so far I’ve been really happy and satisfied with them. A while ago I approached Mathias and Karin to ask their thoughts about the new collection and they were kind to take the time to answer the questions in the middle of all the rush and hurry as they’ve just been launching the collection. And now I’m happy to share the answers with you all.  1) How would you describe the S/S collection? M: It´s classic and colourful, but it´s made with a Scandinavian eye. That means that we have tried to work...
