Research and unique qualities in revisited versions of iconic 50s and 60s garments
Lots of people ask me where I got my inspiration for the Spring-Summer 2019 collection. The answer is simple: I couldn’t find anything to suit my style on the market, so I made it myself.
My taste and my love for vintage items are behind a collection whose appeal lies in revisiting iconic 50s and 60s garments and in the care with which each item is made. Anyone who wears a Maurizio Massimino garment can claim to have a real work of art that is genuinely unique.
This year I sought out old military tents and equally dated mattresses. After sterilizing the fabrics, I used them to create unique individual items: each tent can be used to make two jackets, which are cut one by one in an artisan process. The jackets were manually numbered with a stamp and a total of 100 will be sold worldwide.
The concepts that my new Spring-Summer 2019 collection aims to convey are research, unique tones, colours and attention to detail. Anyone who wears Maurizio Massimino will feel unique.
