I Pinco Pallino Fall/Winter 2011-12 Collection at Pitti Bimbo


The new I Pinco Pallino fairy tale starts with a cascade of white ribbons on a winter's night. Using ribbons and bows, as if they were floating in a magic passageway, a new enchanted panorama is unveiled. The new collection takes us into a dreamlike and romantic dimension, where anything can happen. In between excursions of the imagination, exercises in the extraordinary and unexpected surprises begins the tale of a season of dreams.

Nature
The colors of alpaca, grays, camel, hazelnut form an extremely natural landscape of the palette. Vests in rabbit fur rest on pullovers with Norwegian cable knits. Trousers in velvet and moleskin, with wrap-around pinafore coats in soft mouffelon for a winter as fluffy as a scene seen through the window of a warm room.

Rosa rosae rosae.
They're roses... and they will bloom. In an enchanted winter garden roses of all colors are blooming: fuchsia, corral, shocking pink, baby and candy. Small bouquets in cloth and velvet unfold petals on the collars of coats while large grain ribbons and velvet trim with grace skirts and suits.

Sentimental
Embroideries, embroideries, embroideries. By hand, in wool, in petit point and cross-stitch, happy floral designs, arabesques and hemstitches come to life. The needle tirelessly creates on tulle, chiffon and wool muslin, it designs a theme of romantic evasion on little suits, richly decorated pinafores and skirts, it traces doodles on light pullovers like liseuses and on coats.

Ivory
The white of snow, chalk and sugar, the ivory of creams, butter and whipped cream are spread out with voracious elegance on brocades and devoré velvet and macrame. Clean lines are enriched with precious details. Pearl collars and jewel buttons like sweets stolen from the kitchen.

Traditional
A touch of noblesse. Blues and grays are illuminated in elaborate heraldic shields embroidered in gold thread, on pullovers and blazers for little women ready for college. Plaited skirts and pants. A return to Eton: cabana-coats and montgomeries crown a thematic proposal with accents that are aristocratically sportive.

Baby
It is a tender winter's dream that accompanies the little ones of I Pinco Pallino. Precious materials, like the substance of the softest dreams; cashmere, mix cashmere and tulle on which gauzed embroideries come to life. Pink and ivories are the tenuous tones of the morning that await the toddlers when they awake.

1950
Afternoon on the beaches of Deauville. Stripes are the protagonists, in knitwear, in wool and in felt, in the tones of blue and gray, like the reflections on the waves of a winter sea. Small coats with a sailor's collar, trousers with golden buttons and pullovers with noble friezes for a lively walk out in the breeze.

Couture
A carousel of colors for this haute collection. Brilliant ceremonies and great
expectations for the party of the little princess at the Sun King's court. Fuchsia and turquoise illuminate frock coats, balloon skirts in brocade with pink relief, embroidered Shetland and pullovers in tie and dye cashmere. Vanilla and gold on velvet suits, tafettas and chiffon pave the way that leads to the
ballroom.

Absolute blue
An invitation to the court is also given to the Catalan artist Mariano Fortuny, who transforms wrinkled and froissé velvets into small Liberty masterpieces of an absolute blue, with rich embroiderings in paillettes and fossilized wood.
