After the first events in Piaza Duomo with a crowd of more than 50,000, the second version of MILANO LOVES FASHION like last time it amazed everyone as we experienced a parallel reality of imaginary landscapes, real and virtual bodies and fade-out effects.
This time the C’N’C Costume National FW10-11 show was streamed over the web on the web from the C’N’C site and Costume National’s I-Phone Application. Reporters took part in an on-line press conference with Ennio Capasa ready to answer their questions on a chatline. .
This was a true digital event that conquered both Milan and the net.
Thanks everyone!

NATURE ROCK: Ennio Capasa’s new collection for C’N’C is a synthesis of nature and street culture – a mix of the organic and the inorganic with extremely feminine silhouettes perfect for every situation. If you will, a rock and roll spirit that accommodates the wish for simple warm and handy items. .

The collection’s strong point is its wool knitwear which is either really light and soft or thick and warm: coats and outer items are warm and heavy while dresses are light with wool on the front and nylon at the back.

The collection’s colour palette is made up of natural and urban hues: sand, dust, sylvan green, burnt earth and coal.

A collection with a rock and roll spirit and an elegant mind – super-slim, really long, sullied, over-dyed jeans – decorated with burnt sequins.

Lengthy jackets and fringed coats with clear-cut silhouettes . Button-less attire to be done up with belts, buckles or zips.

And then the bags – opulent and spacious – made from ultra-soft leather or vegetable suede and just great for matching with suede-based, high-heeled military-looking boot

The icon Pixie Geldof and Anton Capasa, open the collection.

A comment about the Collection:

“The Fall fashions of C’N’C Costume National are some of the prettiest designs I have seen so far in New York and Milan. The layers and lines and curves and styles of knit and wool sweaters and jackets and leggings and boots and Autumn/Winter fashion are gorgeous, intricate, and original. Scarves and sweaters that flow and enlace each other like trellis of leaves and fall flowers cascading in the November wind. They are all lovely and should be a “smash” when they are sold in stores and shops and boutiques. Superior work, M. Capasa and crew! Your fashion is designing style with comfort and class sustaining feminine fashion as foremost in essence.”

As well as the models and clothes of C’N’C CoSTUME NATIONAL‘s FW 10-11 collection, the catwalk featured a multi-faceted tunnel creation enlivened with virtual landscapes. The concept, an idea by the designer himself, symbolizes a parallel reality in which nature and fashion blend and interact – a harmony of imaginary landscapes, body and clothing items that dissolve into one uniqe sequence. These highly original effects were created by Diana E. Le Quesne, the internationally celebrated creative and movie director who specializes in digital-motion films. She is constantly on the lookout for experimental contexts in the fields of fashion and design.

It can get pretty frantic backstage – the models arrive in a rush, often fresh from a previous show, zigzagging among reporters, buyers and photographers. Here they come, hair in the wind with their sporty of desperately casual chic look. They finally sit down to let expert hands arrange them for the parade. In a few minutes they are ready – their hair transformed into styles that complement the clothes they need to present. See how it all comes together in the flickr album screen show.

She was the first onto the catwalk Ennio Capasa’s most multimedia fashion parade. Pixie Geldof, the sister of Peaches and Bob’s daughter was the first to cross past the white block in the middle of the C’N’C runway. We caught up with her back stage of the event during a rare moment of relaxation.
