“Classic Rivalry” draws inspiration from the authentic culture surrounding soccer away games between England and Italy in the 1980s and 1990s. It is not about rivalry, but rather a shared language made up of codes, aesthetics, and a sense of belonging. The journey becomes a means of building identity and recognition across borders. The collection reworks existing elements, bringing them into the present and transforming established codes. A process of adaptation that preserves the original essence while evolving it over time. A collection that highlights connections: a shared culture that continues to evolve, changing form while maintaining the same language.
