Fashion / ShowErmenegildo Zegna AW14Stefano Pilati's fashion odyssey sees dark suiting, reptilian surfaces and quilted coatsShareLink copied ✔️January 11, 2014FashionShowTextSusanne MadsenPhotographyPaolo SimiErmenegildo Zegna AW14 Initial reaction: A Fashion Odyssey: Stefano Pilati's Zegna universe starts here. Galactic: A glittery, galactic invite hinted at space themes. Pre show, video of a pulsating, shimmering planet engulfed the backdrop before zooming through galaxies, stars, planets, molecules and earth. Jurassic: A primordial vibe drew us back to the beginning of the universe - cardigans had articulated spikes like on the back of a dinosaur and big, heavy boots featured reptilian bumps. Voluminous quilted parkas and bombers were protection from harsher elements, and the use of wools and fox fur felt natural and centuries – millenniums – old. Time travel: Models strode past with speed and intent, mimicking the fast-paced backdrop video, which was now travelling through countries around the world. Colour impressions: Dark, charcoal suiting, mossy greens and subtle checks created a shadowy show. A burst of light came from a series of camel wool looks, with softly swooping, inbuilt scarves.
