SANSOVINO 6
SPRING SUMMER 2010
RELAX
Creative director Edward Buchanan has collaborated with Silvana Galbusera, the
owner SPRAI srl who manufacturers and distributes Sansovino6 since he was the
design director of Bottega Veneta 14 years ago. This collaboration is a true
testament to their past collaborations, as well as, a mutual appreciation for each
others craft and expertise. With very little preparation time Edward has created a
collection by recycling yarns and materials from past collections. The collection is a
capsule of essential knitwear.
RELAX SPRING SUMMER 2010
Chill, take it all in with ease. The collection combines leisure with intricate detailing
that speaks for the potential and expertise of Sansovino6. The shapes are based on
local items that exist in an everyday wardrobe in woven materials that are translated
into fine-gauged knits and sweaters. A military vest that would be in rigid cotton
becomes a soft draped linen mélange gilet with the same detailing. Classic
pleated trousers are translated into elegant pajamas with that are man tailored. The
color palate is local shades of grey mélange, black, slate and beige, with hints of
blush and pink. Combining textures and weights through using basic points and
gauges with more intricate jacquard cables is a hallmark of the collection. The
shapes are generous and sensuous in the same moment. The collection speaks to
the ambiguity within. A woman will find the shapes feminine and languid, and the
Man will find the items easy for everyday travel.
T-shirts, jackets, light weight ribbed pullovers, and featherweight scarves in Linen.
Sansovino6 offers a sophistication that can be combined within the existing
wardrobes of us all.
Beyond chic.
