To Athens with you or to Carthage you naughty nobleman? The Sicilian bad boy holds within him two souls: the tyrant and the poet. He wants to write the godfather and be the godfather. So there’s a many variations of the classic bad boy uniform in black, in line with oversized trend. Subtle, sophisticated, playful here and there. But then we get to the poet and all bets are off.
Take the drapes of the villa and make them into garments. Take the jewellery of the entire family and stitch it onto everything. Be the poet in a tyrannical way. If you do things the Sicilian way, do it all the way. If you want to embrace the 80s, take no prisoners. It’s a courageous approach for the confident maximalist. Even if it’s too much for you, it makes you feel something. The noblemen draped in jewels makes you wonder: perhaps I can be the noblemen in black. It’s Mediterranean Vice. Return to Athens Plato, these man are irredeemable. Me? I’m going to take in the exuberance and stay a while. There’s something sexy about being a naughty Sicilian nobleman.
