Style and Harmont & Blaine joined forces to celebrate the collaboration between the dachshund brand and designer Andrea Pompilio. Dogs were the guests of honour... The event, accompanied by the music of the deejay and TV presenter Valentina Pegorer, also served to celebrate the Capsule Collection designed by Andrea Pompilio for Harmont & Blaine. The designer himself attended the evening and showcased the new collection, which focuses on tone-on-tone nuances, never clashing and always accompanied by dense and de-saturated colour harmonies. The shapes also change and adapt. While shirts, which have always been central to the Dachshund brand, gain volume, all the pieces part of a man's wardrobe are broken down and reconstructed in a surprising way. Pompilio's trench coats feature contrasting interiors, blousons boast velvet collars and shirts are characterised by all-over patchwork. And what about textiles? Soft hand and strong weaves are found in viscose cottons, poplin, linen cottons, gabardine and Japanese jersey. The tradition of Neapolitan tailoring is updated and looks to the future. "The brand's Neapolitan origins are an imprinting of taste and spirit, which partly belong to me for biographical reasons," explains Pompilio. "His approach, his way of working with lines and colour," continues Harmont & Blaine CEO Marco Pirone, "add a note of subtle experimentation to the brand's lexicon. The idea is to surprise without distorting.
