Men's collection Spring/Summer 2009

Here they are, taking the field.
They’re ready for anything just to win another game in the most brutal team sport: rugby.
When you take risks, rules become laws of nature.
Take a good look at them. It might be due to the South African champions, but there is something in the way they move cautiously, fiercely run towards the goal, and grasp the football as if it were a prey to be shared with the pack: something reminds us of a thrilling safari.
There is a fine yet profound link between the joy of breaking through the opponent’s scrimmage and the thrill of observing wild animals.  
The result is the many contrasts that begin with fabrics, continue in colors, and triumphs in accessories.
The protagonists of this symbolic battle are protected by reinforced elements, covered with padding, and decorated with large numbers, but they are also ironically provided with backpacks and armed with binoculars and camera lenses. The marks on their face? It isn’t easy to understand if they are the signs of a tribal battle or a means of camouflage. They are the signs of ancient instinct that takes the shape of a great game that nature always wins.
