At the Antonio Azzuolo Spring/Summer 2013 show yesterday, the look was a mix of New York swagger street fashion and the art of being well dressed. At Milk Studios with the Hudson River as a backdrop, Azzuolo showed a stunning collection full of energy and detail. With every collection Azzuolo explores the archetypes of youth, while expanding on the concept of building the basic foundation of a men’s wardrobe. Colors ranged from white, ivory, blue, navy and black with accents of pink, coral and neon multi-colored panels. The craftsmanship was impeccable and there were details of platinum leather trim on the lapels of jackets and intricate jacquards that made the garments luxurious. But the day-glo soled nike sneakers kept the looks fresh and modern making the transition from casual day and work to evening easy. These hand-tailored pieces are new classics with a poetic edge.
