Hed Mayner stops at the Stazione di Firenze Santa Maria Novella, the centrally located Florentine train station – just a few hundred meters away from the Pitti Uomo exhibition center. The guest designer at the menswear fair, who usually presents his creations in Paris, will show his latest collection there.
In keeping with the main theme of “Motion”, he invited people to the Palazzina Reale, the rear part of which is directly connected to the train station tracks.
With a total of 34 looks presented by a diverse cast, he showed his idea of modern tailoring that rethinks classic menswear. He relied on strongly flared shoulders and contrasts in the volume of the silhouettes. The Israeli-born designer also made use of asymmetrical cuts and layering.
Various patterns and feels such as houndstooth, silver sequins and pleats were combined with soft and flowing fabrics, creating a fresh symbiosis. The materials included wool gabardine, which was used for coats, and velvet for dresses. The collection was rounded off by the designer’s typical use of sporty and uniform-inspired pieces.
