AMSTERDAM - Another part of catwalk highlights from Amsterdam Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2013: inspiring looks by Domenico Cioffi & gsus sindustries.

Domenico Cioffi

"The collection Sky Void is inspired by the Tron: Legacy movie, the Moorish art and New York’s architecture.

Important words for the movie are technology, adventure and innovation. This is expressed by the use of technical and luminescent fabrics. The blue and black colors of the collection are taken from the virtual reality of the film. The film costumes are revisited by softening the forms and developing them on three different silhouettes.

The Moorish art is another element of inspiration for the collection. Particularly the great wooden pierced doors that can be found in the Maghreb countries. These doors are a symbol for paths to other mystic worlds. This can be found in the sunglasses, hats, shoes and skateboard.

The Architecture of New York, with her distinct forms, drawing lines on the sky, gave the inspiration for strong color contrasts and cuts that catch the eye." - AFW

"Russia is the country of inspiration for the AW 13/14 collection. This season the proven gsus blend includes a mix of Russian influences and classic tweed. The collection houses refreshing contrasts; folkloric elements add a touch of gsus to militaristic, uniform and strict silhouettes. Flowers are an important element of the collection. A seemingly traditional military-style camouflage print actually turns out to be a stylized flower motif when viewed from a distance. Flowers also feature in an allover print of Chochchloma trays (in English: khokhloma). Chochchloma is a Russian folk art originated in and named after the eponymous Russian village. "- AFW
