Italy Fashion Pioneer

The name of Walter Albini is rarely remembered and mentioned. However, as "the founder of Italy garments," he influenced a large number of fellow designers after 1970s.

If you want to remember the fashion nostalgia of 1970s, you must not ignore the polka dot trend, the printed gown and the long dress dress made by Italy designer Walter Albini, and the velvet evening dress decorated with swan feathers. Albini's fascination with twentieth Century, Chanel and Poiret, as well as pipes and champagne barrels, has been the inspiration of his design.

In 1970s, Albini, which is at the peak of its career, is one of the two names that make design students enthusiastic. The other one is the Karl Lagerfeld, whose wings are not yet plump and served as designer at Chlo, and the two were in the same fashion in the fashion industry at that time.

However, the name of Albini is far less than that of the latter. He is both a myth and a mystery. Even today, even the school of design that he studied in Turin, Italy is unable to reach a consensus. However, in the biography of Walter Tonchi and his era, a biography of Stefano Tonchi and author Maria Luisa Frisa, he was regarded as "the founder of Italy garments".

In the early 1970s, the names of many designers in Italy were linked to well-known fashion companies, which is hardly new. But designers like Albini are closely related to factories. As Tonchi said, he is a brand pioneer and the first Italy designer to walk into a garment making factory from his studio. It is also seen that there are different ways of running the fashion industry in Italy.

Albini founded its own brand in 1965, but since then, he has been a part-time designer for Krizia, Billy Ballo, Basile, Callaghan, Escargots, Mister Fox and Princess Luciana.

In 1971, Albini broke out of a routine to show several brands of clothing in a show: a dress designed for Misterfox, a knitted garment for Escargots, a shirt designed for Diamant 's, an elastic fabric for Callaghan, a coat and jacket designed for Basile. The five product lines are run by F.T.M company, and retailers sell them as a series. In addition, Albini also pioneered the launching of a press conference in Milan. In the early 1950s, fashion shows were usually held at the Palazzo Pitti hotel in Florence. Since then, Missoni, Krizia and Ken Scott have followed suit.

Albini is famous for its loyalty to the early fashion style of Chanel and Jean Patou. The style of these two designers is contrasted with the global wave of 1970s. Albini not only drew the most sophisticated tailoring of Chanel, but also absorbed the inspiration from ancient Egypt, Gypsy, Africa and China. He also actively supported the anti orthodox Hippie class and launched elegant and decent sportswear. Those with strong style and vibrant design uphold the ideal of Ms. Chanel - a comfortable fit tailored to liberate the female body.

As the prestige of Albini continues to expand, he also enjoys the following fame: speed, freedom, dissolute, discontent, and money. Albini is a rebellious child born in a petty bourgeoisie family. Therefore, of course, he can not avoid being a little conceited.
