Vìen Spring/Summer 2022 Collection

Music has been a constant reference for Vincenzo Palazzo since the first Vìen collection and it is no a surprise that this is once again used as inspiration. The collection is presented during the Milan Men’s Fashion Week.

The genesis of the movement dates back to the founding of “The Factory,” the record label of bands such as Joy Division and New Order; the latter invested their proceeds in a new club “The Haçienda,” a venue that changed the face of Manchester and the movement itself. The music was represented by alternative rock bands such as Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Charlatans who, incorporating electronic dance into their own sound, served as a link between indie and acid house, between rock and rave culture.

In youth subcultures, as it is in Vìen’s project, music and fashion are closely connected.
Acid House style required comfortable and wide fits: baggy jeans, oversized t-shirts with the band logo, sneakers, sportswear and fisherman caps. To create the new Vìen collection, Vincenzo Palazzo was inspired by this style, while at the same time breaking the rules, because it has been mixed with refined fabrics and classic men’s tailoring. Lightweight is paired with psychedelic inspired jerseys, safari cotton and dark denim are combined in the classic trench coat, the sweatshirt is worked as patchwork with jersey and denim for multifunction tracksuit. The use is unisex and creates overlapping, interchangeable, gender fluid silhouettes.
