Fashion Designer Danilo Gabrielli Fall/Winter 2012 Collection |
In March 2011, Gabrielli set his sights on a new challenge: creating his own line. The namesake collection was launched at the Spring/Summer 2012 Nolcha Fashion Week: New York. Inspired by Bridgette Bardot, a woman who carried a certain sense of sensuality and je ne sais quoi, the collection embodies escape, a line guided by the aesthetics of tranquility and beauty.
Continuing the growth of the Danilo Gabrielli collection, the designer showcased his Fall/Winter 2012 collection at Nolcha again this season. Drawing inspiration from the glamorous 1940’s era of the likes of Greta Garbo, the Italian designer created a versatile, feminine collection that speaks to an age where women were beginning to join the workforce. Influences of 40’s jazz style can also be found in the DNA of this effortlessly cool collection. The line consists of suits, dresses, slacks, blouses and coats in addition to highlighting his signature piece, the reversible skirt. The collection is being carried at Mayfair House in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood. Danilo Gabrielli continues to pursue his passion for design and is currently working on the Spring 2013 collection of his line, which is inspired by the 1920's with a focus on feminine prints and silhouettes.
