Silversea Cruises' newly designed uniforms were previewed in a fashion show held
aboard Silver Wind in Venice last night. They were created by Italy's
prestigious Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) of Milan, a specialised fashion
school for designers destined for global fashion brands.
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 grey colour
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. For more information: visit www.silversea.com
