“Make art, not war”. Couldn’t have said it better myself, Mr. Frankie Morello. This was the theme for the SS15 collection, with models sporting appliquéd pictures of Italian artistic statues on shirts and jackets. The designs were definitely creative, featuring 3-D plexiglass sewn onto blazers for a cubism effect (Picasso, anyone?).

A few shots from backstage:

And of course, the official “slogan” of the show: Make Art, Not War.

The graffiti prints and the grey juxtaposed with bright tones such as orange and blue made for a real “pop” of vibrance. Boxy and straight silhouettes seem to be trending for SS15 and Frankie Morello was not far behind in this aspect. The designs were distinctly modern, and many garments even sported the message on many a shirt or jacket “Make art, not war”. According to the designers, “art is important for fighing intellectual  apathy”. And that it is. Anyone who says fashion is not art…is wrong!
