ANCIEN AVANT-GARDE presents a provocative dialogue between historical reverence and contemporary subversion. This editorial explores the charged threshold where aristocracy collides with progressive rebellion.
Stylist Christian Caggia orchestrates tension between opposing forces—the refined luxury of Loro Piana and the structural precision of Luigi Bianchi engage in silent conversation with the utilitarian heritage of Levi's and the avant-garde sensibilities of Federico Cina. Military influences from La Martina and artisanal craftsmanship by Cesare Garbin intensify this studied dissonance, forming a sartorial language that simultaneously honors tradition and questions its conventions.
Through Lorenzo Formicola’s contemplative lens, contradictions unfold—historic redingotes and riding boots clash with contemporary pieces. With composed demeanor, models thwart cyclical revival in favor of a continuous revolution—one in which the past becomes circular.
