Super talented friend has finally unleashed his creative potential by launching a stunning collection of accessories (belts). After working for various italian labels for 3 years as a fashion designer and Creative Director, he decided to follow his dream and establish his own brand in July 2011.
Here are a few words from Adriano Meneghetti, outlining his vision and brand core values:
“I’m a sentimental person. From the time when I was a child, I always attached myself to the things I had. It’s very hard for me to throw away something that lived important moments together with me. Each object surrounding me is the ambassador and the guardian of the memories and experiences that contributed to shape the person I am today. I have always been very fascinated by the past, I’m interested in ...knowing it and I believe it represents the first element to start from when writing the future. It’s on this basis that I decided to undertake this adventure starting from the realisation of articles that will last forever, without ageing precociously. Handcrafted items conceived and realised with love and feeling, handmade in Italy thanks to the best craftsmen and raw materials".
The first collection for SS12 is called the "TROTTER" collection (images to the left). It draws its inspiration from horsemanship: it reflects the technical article typical of the riding world. It is cut and matched with the leather, re-echoing the atmospheres of the Ivy League. The lightness and the resistance of the nylon plait, together with the drummed leather, to create both very light and very resistant belts, which are embellished by the bright hand painted rib. These belts are intended to last and improve with time.
More classic pieces can be found within the RUGGED collection (images to the right). They are a mix of elegance and tradition. Washed, aged and twisted leather and brass and silver buckles create belts intended to last and improve with time.
My favourite pieces are the "burnt" leather and plaited blue belt from the "Trotter" Collection and the Belt: 40001C | Color: 413, from the "Rugged" Collection, which features embossed numbers along the main face of the belt. Brilliant!!
