Fabiana Filippi drafts American designer Edward Buchanan – who runs own label Sansovino 6, as well as consulting for Off-White and Agnona – to create a ‘cool and easy’ capsule combining Italian craftsmanship with a New York state of mind
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it, isn’t that the old adage? For Italian knitwear label Fabiana Filippi and its collaboration with the multi-hyphenate Edward Buchanan, it was more a case of there being only one man for the job.
As one of the busiest men in fashion, Buchanan wasn’t looking to add to his plate. Between heading up his own brand, Sansovino 6, being in-house consultant for luxury fashion houses Off-White and Agnona , and recently taking on the mantle ofmagazine’s Milan fashion director, he still finds time to be the head tutor of the Academy of Costume and Fashion’s MA in Creative Knitwear Design.
‘The High Line is this paradise of vegetation and cement and metal – and those contrasting things are very New York for me,’ says Buchanan. ‘It’s the only place I’ve lived where I’m still nostalgic for it. In New York, I always felt protected within the context of the city, but then at certain points you have these beautiful moments of nature like Central Park… I [liked] the idea of paralleling a collection with that context.
