Silviu Tolu by Tibi Clenci for Patzaikin Spring/​Summer 2012

Hard Pen­i­tence–Pho­tog­ra­pher Tibi Clenci reunites with Allure model Sil­viu Tolu for a spe­cial project inspired by Olympian Ivan Patzaichin. The canoe­ing champion’s con­tin­ued suc­cess with five Olympic medals, four of them gold, pro­pels a col­lec­tion designed by Olah Gyarfas with assis­tance by Carla Szabo. Mar­ry­ing func­tional gar­ments to a chic sil­hou­ette, pieces mod­eled after the sport pave way for an acute atten­tion to detail. From a fine con­structed parka and rav­ish­ing jump­suit to desir­able acces­sories /​ Project by Ivan Patzaichin and Teodor Frolu, a cool mode is achieved with an effort­less ease. Styling by Mar­ian Palie. Visual art by Anca Benera.
