Urban Caravan- a blend of color, history
and adventure make up the Sergio Davila Fall/Winter 2014/15.
The free spirits of nomadic tribes
roaming rural Brazilian lands in caravans set the mood for this season. There
have been Gypsies in Brazil since the sixteenth century and the romantic ideal
of their dancing around a flickering fire to rhythmic clapping and chanting
inspire this collection’s hues of ruby red and emerald green.
Loose-fitting shirts and jackets with
knit and leather sweatpants are a key silhouette derived from Brazilian gypsy
horsemen’s trousers and jackets.
Gorgeous knitted
jacquard sweaters in browns and blues are specially crafted with baby alpaca and
fine organic cotton, both native to Peru. Baby Alpaca is of a finer grade that
standard alpaca grade, indicating the luxurious nature of the Sergio Davila
brand.
“My heritage and roots are always the
starting point of developing a new collection. I reflect on my journeys in
between the three Americas and find the perfect intersection of design and
culture for my clothing.
