Ermanno Scervino Resort 2019

Masculine versus feminine is always the name of the game chez Ermanno Scervino; he likes the play of opposites, which for Resort he elevated with elegant glamour and softened with a romantic touch. Suede and napa leather contrasted with wispy lace, while tailoring and suiting were set off against languid shapes. Scervino is a quintessentially Italian bon vivant with an appreciation for tasteful luxe; in his collections, Made in Italy standards for high-quality fabrications and often handmade execution are paramount. A mille-feuille plissé skirt could easily be made up of three layers of Valenciennes lace, embroidered cotton voile, and silk satin or tulle encrusted with macramé. No wonder it doesn’t come cheap.
