New York, NY – January 25th, 2011- Danilo Gabrielli, an Italian-born designer with a unique mix of rustic Italian sensibility and classic American luxury, proudly introduces his Fall/ Winter 2012 Collection at Nolcha Fashion Week: New York this February. Going on its sixth consecutive year, and held simultaneously with Mercedes-Benz Fashion week, Nolcha is one of New York’s leading platforms for independent fashion designers this season showcasing over twenty designers, including Gabrielli.
Drawing inspiration from the glamorous 1940’s era of the likes of Greta Garbo, the Italian designer created a versatile, feminine collection that speaks to an age where women were beginning to join the workforce. Influences of 40’s jazz style can also be found in the DNA of this effortlessly cool collection. The line consists of suits, dresses, slacks, blouses and coats in addition to highlighting his signature piece, the reversible skirt. “I wanted to create a line where women felt powerful and confident about themselves,” says Gabrielli. “I believe that goal was achieved in this collection”.
Gabrielli stayed true to his identity by continuing with his signature metallic finishes paired with wools, tweeds, knits and faux fur. The collection showcases a muted elegance with colors such as black, grey, silver, burgundy and winter white. Danilo’s show will be held on February 9th at 6:30pm at Ailey Studios with live music performance by classical rock violinist, Daisy Jopling. This will be Gabrielli’s second namesake collection.
