NEW TALENTS

FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

Opening the mind and looking at the world from a different perspective. This is how young talents make their way in a universe, that of fashion, which every day offers something new Sara Fumagallo

NOSKRA

Dystopic and abstract. This is the universe of NOSKRA, the menswear brand born with a unisex vision from an intuition of Andrea Lonigro, founder and creative director. The word “nostra” written with the “k” takes on a different meaning: in the runic alphabet this letter is also called “Kenaz” (torch). A light at the end of the tunnel, then, which shows itself as a collection featuring oversize trousers, sweatshirts, shirts and bomber jackets in a palette of neutral colours. The only contrast are the brutalist graphics and the maxi pockets inspired by Le Corbusier’s buildings. The collection is strictly manufactured in Italy, a strong point thanks to workshops that still use traditional craftmanship and certified suppliers. Instagram. studio.noskra noskra.com

SIMON CRACKER

“Crack” is the sound of something breaking. And this is where it all starts from. “My grandfather always said not to throw things away but to think about whether they could be useful in other forms and functions,” says the designer, and in fact each one of his collections is inspired by memories, looking at the past to build the future. The SS 23 collection titled “Reality Bites” is inspired by the 90s film of the same name, but told from the brand’s perspective and looks to reflect the path and experiences in creating the summer collection. For this season the brand deepened its “punkindness” concept (kind punk) mixed with a raw aesthetic made. The result is a “real” collection, made with recycled and upcycled materials and worn on the catwalk by the brand’s fans and friends. Instagram. simoncracker simoncrackermilano.com
