Gap teams up with 10 Corso Como in launching a limited edition collection

ahead of the brand’s launch in Italy later this year.

The limited edition collection for men and women features styles

that are at the heart of Gap’s  collections – the t-shirt and the sweatshirt -

as well as a series of  matching cotton tote bags.

These items have been customized by 10 Corso Como signature ‘circles’  graphic and

illustrations by American artist Kris Ruhs.

The 10 Corso Como Gap collection will be available from Saturday 25th September,

during Milan Fashion Week, at 10 Corso Como & 10 Corso Como The Shop Online

Presenting the Fornasetti ceramic heritage in combination both with well-known

and less familiar decorative images.

Architectural details, butterflies, facial expressions, suns, owls and monkeys

capture the imagination and open up the realm of dreams.

The collection encompasses various home scenting devices from the ubiquitous scented candle

and boxed incense sticks through to room sprays and ceramic globe diffusers – used for incense,

perfumed oil or scented rocks.

Each object has a clearly defined purpose and can be re-used, given an alternative use,

or added to a Fornasetti collection.

Available exclusively at 10 Corso Como

from Friday 24th September

The collection takes its name from the designer’s own initials in the reverse;

totally personal and entirely universal.

All tailored pieces are offered in two silhouettes:

one sculpted, the other contemporary and straight.

The colour palette was inspired by the film “Noir” in the 1940’s

and was constructed with the concept of unconscious co-ordination.

Throwing any of the pieces together will create a matching ensemble.

The materials are of the most exquisite luxury fabrics

- twills from England, cashmere from Italy -

but expressed in an understated way.

The Roland Mouret Collection will be available

Loretta Lux uses the magic of contemporary photographic techniques

to transform one image into another.

Having studied painting before taking up photography,

Loretta Lux’s careful analysis of classic portrait painting

has inspired the balance between  a clearly fixed portrait composition

and the application of cutting edge photographic technology.

Contemporary children pose for her photos but dressed as though

they come from the past; they are placed in backgrounds

so calm and peaceful that the lack of movement gradually becomes alienating.

Loretta Lux is a master at preserving an intense calm while creating an undercurrent

of disturbing emotions.
