Backstage kids at Il Gufo FW19 Florence runway show shot by Abi Campbell showing a sneak peek look at the new autumn styles for next winter.
Held at the Stazioni Leopolde, from the stunning set and cute kids to the modern classic design of Il Gufo, this portfolio shows the anticipation and pre – show preparation behind the scenes.
The idea for the collection began with thinking about yarn and how it is the source of every garment. Mixes of classic textiles such as plaids and oxford cotton patchworks shirts or tartan and solid colour kilts permeate the collection which has all the outerwear padded jackets and mohair warming knits for daywear that chilly days need.
The counterpoint for daywear at Il Gufo is special evening party garments for the neatest black tuxedo boys suit to an Audrey Hepburnesque white and black silk dress and coat two piece.
