A quilano.Rimondi: Striving for Simplicity
Fashion designers can be divided up into architects and decorators: and it was as though Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi had been frightened off from their lush, historical play with fabrics, in favour of ‘just clothes ‘.
The duo had a word for their latest inspiration: “neoplastic”. Forms inspired by the De Stijl art movement co-founded by Mondrian, and based on purity. Geometric abstraction, subtracting figurative images, was their stated aim – to create a mode simplicity.
Call me a philistine, but having witnessed so many intriguing collections from the design duo – including a recent one inspired by Henri Matisse – I just don’t get these arch fashion romantics going for plain and simple.
The clothes were nice enough: a sparkle on black trousers, a navy coat with glittering long-sleeves, crystals tracing a square pattern, and silvered wings as decoration.

Their career as a designer duo began in 1998, when they work as fashion consultants for Max Mara; then in 2004 they gave life to the 6267 fashion project, which won the competition WhoIsOnNext ? 2005 allowing them to present the collection in Milan. Since then it has been a continuous succession of experiences that crowned them as the true protagonists of the international scene, and it is not a coincidence that Anna Wintour once commented: “the show of 6267 is the only reason for coming to Milan”. Soon their road to success becomes
