A few weeks ago - during New York Fashion Week - Eidos Napoli launched their collection for upcoming fall and winter '15.

Il Cuore di Pescatore Earlier collections and look books “This is Rome” (SS14) and “Faces of Firenze” (FW14) are now followed by a line that could be called as “The Soul of a Fisherman” - inspired by the little and beautiful island of Ischia, located a bit outside of Naples in Italy, that also has been called as the land of farmers and fishermen....
