Costume National creative director Ennio Capasa continued to romanticize the man of rock ‘n’ roll for fall with an outing that captured an eternal reflection of the fashion house’s cool, contemporary attitude. Discussing a shoot he completed for pre-fall, Capasa reflected, “I imagined urban angels situated on the roof of a hangar in Santa Monica, where the night before we hosted together with Marina Abramovic, the ‘Heaven’ event. The urban angels now landed in Milan in their male, minimal, chic rock ‘n’ roll attitude, the eternal signature of Costume National. Today, we need angels more than ever!” Entitled Dancing with an Urban Angel, the collection captured the very image, except wings were exchanged for furs. Outside of furs, models hit the catwalk wearing glam evening jackets, cut sharp and impeccably fitted. Knitwear fit like a second skin with a mix of mohair and cashmere lending the lineup an easy luxury. Rounded out with smart injections of leather, houndstooth and camel, the collection delivered a lean, rockin’ range for autumn.
