Several hundred shipboard employees will soon
be outfitted in uniforms from Milan fashion school
Monaco -- Ultra-luxury Silversea Cruises' newly designed uniforms were previewed in a fashion show
held aboard Silver Wind in Venice recently. They were created by
Italy's prestigious Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) of Milan, a
specialized fashion school for designers destined for the fashion brands
globally.
The project was launched in September 2012, when the IED team spent several days aboard
Silver Spirit, drawing creative inspiration from the elegant
ship's Art Deco interior, and gaining insight into the functions and
needs of the ship's officers and staff working in a diversity of
settings, including reception, restaurants, lounges, and
housekeeping.
The
IED designers have created an elegant and distinguished look in several
variations that complements the luxury
line's brand image. The collection features natural fabrics, including
cotton and wool, in a black, white, blue, and gray color palette.
The
collection was designed by Antonio Pala, Alla Polozenko, Laura Liistro,
and Magdalena Kilkovich. The project
was coordinated by Francesca Tottoli, manager of special projects for
IED Moda, and professors Valentina Conzo and Alfonso Granieri.
In the coming months, several hundred Silversea shipboard employees will be outfitted in the elegant uniforms from
Milan.
