2. ABOUT
Selene Tropiano is an italian designer based in London graduated in 2008 at the prestigious
Istituto Marangoni in Milan with background of studies in
Arts and Architectures.
After working several years for international top and luxury brands such as DKNY Men,
LVMH - Thomas Pink, Vivienne Westwood, she decided in 2014 to move on and create her own label,
TROPIANO : contemporary menswear entirely made in italy.
TROPIANO believes in the strong relationship between arts, design and architecture as we all live and build
the space around us by modifying colours, shapes and lights, both through our actions and the way we dress,
showing our personality and ideals.
These themes are the main inspirations in designing softly structured wearable pieces with alternative design
details, matching natural tones and mixed textures.
The classic menswear fabrics play an important role in the silhouettes, apparently miss proportioned on the
body they perfectly balance
formal and informal for a luxury casual look like an harmonic art composition where quality meets design.
Following the designer origins and traditions, TROPIANO truly believes in the
high quality of the Italian manufactures.
From fabrics selection to production each garment is carefully made from expert laboratories in Italy and
from passionate hands
who dedicate many hours a day to our collections.

5. SOOTHE – RADICAL – ANDREA BRANZI
HERETICAL DESIGN – PRIMITIVES – BACK TO THE ORIGIN
RITUAL – ESSENTIALISM – MEDITATION – TIBET
In a time when all seems passively automated in a chaotic and fast paced world,
a touch of contentious nostalgia desire to begin all over again in a
growing interest in spirituality and expression of the rituals with
a “primitive” approach of a contemporary taste.
A calm and meditative mood reflect the essentiality of a “soothing design” where
“heretical” is the approach to a new and different way of seeing and thinking a
design that gives shape to our daily life in a more intimate and emotional journey
Our SS16 Man moves in a moral enquiry and a search of equilibrium and meaning,
showing a quirky mannerism and an introspective personality.
