No fear, no hesitation. The choices made by the Marina Yachting man for spring-summer 2010 are in line with the maritime spirit of the brand and are strong of a timeless tradition.
Navy culture and style mix to make a versatile personality that shifts from urban routine to adventurous exploration.
Ocean blue, interrupted by a “crest-of-the-wave” white – the icons of the Marina Yachting collection interpret the next summer season with the self-possession of their DNA, combined with touches of elegance. Pickot, the highlight of the collection, is in cotton and Teflon, with a detachable vest inspired by life vests. Two jackets complete the collection, with metal buttons with raised logo – Nelson, an unlined double-breasted jacket with raw cotton profiles, and Doria, a three-button jacket with patch pockets.
Idrostop sweaters have “gas-light” yarns for greater lightness and brightness. Highlights – Delta, a crew-neck with an embroidered anchor, and Drago, a navy double-breasted cardigan jacket with metal buttons.
Next to Chinos and five-pocket trousers are Bermuda shorts.
White and blue, with flashes of fluo yellow. Classic and technical strike a perfect balance. A side with fourfold stripe enhances the look and the over-sized logo ties the links.
Sailor, the short navy jacket par excellence, is also offered in a gilt version and in ten colours. Waterproof nylon is also used for shorts with PVC patch pockets, while in trousers the striped side is positioned on the rear. Bermuda shorts have the macrologo in contrasting embroidery.
Corto Maltese-style lapels can be found on jersey and cotton piqué polo shirts, including the coloured ones. The shirt is a pocket-less poplin button-down. The zipped cardigan jacket, too, has a rubber patch breast pocket, to make for a casual look. The sailing cap is in double-twisted gabardine.
Crews returning from regattas are ready for an aperitif at the Yacht Club. Blue, off-white, warm yellow and sail red are the main colours. Visible badges, broad stripes and a range of sorbet colours characterize denim, faded shirts with an embroidered anchor in lieu of numbers, polo shirts with the brand name written under thecollar.
New Sailor short jackets are in “glasshouse” nylon-coated pigment gabardine to give them a polished effect. Swimsuits and Bermuda shorts always have a regatta flavour that can be found in the logo designed as a sail number.
New pieces include the Travel Jacket, an “easy” passepartout jacket with front zipper, enamelled tack buttons and 3 patch pockets, the Bomber jacket in taffeta nylon, also for its pin-striped version, the Field Jacket with an emergency hood and the new Biker Jacket with contrasting piping.
In trousers, three weaves are offered – canvas, cover and ottoman. Lining details are applied to the belt, pockets profiles, ribbons and contrasting stitches. Denim is dark and treated. Sweaters are garment-dyed in 24 colours – gilt cardigan jackets, hooded sweatshirts, stitched badges with double anchor and crown.
Accessories – belts in cotton ribbon, tape in nylon, leather and stretch chord, sailing caps in cotton and nylon, sailing holdall in canvas with large pockets and shoulder strap.
The sea also takes on an urban dimension. Masculine outfits are redesigned to fit feminine shapes. The nautical spirit embraces daywear, from the city to the beach, from the office to weekend escapades.
Next to traditional blue, there is white fading to off-white. The decorations are sailing ropes and the spinnaker logo with rubberized finishes. The Pickot jacket comes also in white, with a detachable hood. Or, in white with contrasting blue buttons, there is the Vega jacket, smaller and trapezium-shaped. For boat trips, you can wear Pegasus, the mini caban jacket with metal buttons. The Doria and Nelson jackets, masculine blazer jackets reshaped for women, are waist-tight and slim. There are four types of trousers, one for each fit – t e highlight is the nautical model, with buttons on the sides and on the waistline. Knitwear has “gas-light” yarns for greater lightness, trapezium lines and bateau necklines. Sleeves are usually three quarters, but for a sleeveless top with slits on its sides fastened by cord criss-crossing. Bias binding in crochet cord, hand-sewn loops and English ribs with anchor-shaped embroideries applied make a difference.
Young and dynamic, it dares to offer re-sized volumes and casual models with feminine touches. The Sailor is close-fitting, with a detachable vest and an elastic band fastened under the breast. The short bomber jacket is active, in nylon with Pvc striped patch and ivory-coloured enameled buttons. The parka jacket is in coated cotton canvas with prism effect, lending a a new light to the fabric. The waistline is fastened by an elastic drawstring. In trousers, the focus is on shorts - technical shorts in nylon, Bermuda shorts with pleats. And then low-slung five-pocket trousers. The skirts are slim and have “puffed up” embroideries in relief. Polo-shirts have fastened plunging necklines and details in reflecting patch. Accessories include caps and bags with handles.
Colours. There is an extremely wide range of them, from sail red to English grass green, from sun and gold yellows to electric blue. Details are pure sailing zig-zag stitches, anchor-shaped embroideries and contrasting profiles. Stretch mini-skirts and striped jersey short dresses are for daywear and eveningwear, with sailing rope/tape blend finishes. Polo-shirts have lurex threads and “light” hand-sewn patches. This is urban style with a nautical flavour.
Marina Yachting 1972 – old is new. The year of birth of the brand marks an elite collection of genuine, well-lived, worn-out navy outfits in “genuine”, worn-out, used and stained fabrics such as malfilé canvas, creased linen, raw cotton. Original flags inspired by nautical signaling are applied by hand, aged, ripped, treated with washings to make them look “old”. Grosgrain ribbons and hand-trimmed embroideries with metal mesh anchors add marine touches.
Today’s yachtsman looks back to a glorious past-from the perfect but deliberately disheveled blazer jacket, to the cotton bermuda shorts with ropes used as drawstring; from stone washed t-shirts with the “1972” embroidery, to fisherman’s ribs with a cord crochet neckline. Hand-scraped wooden toggles, vintage stars-shaped tabs, very accurate lining details contrast the “old” appearance.
This is a very fashionable “design museum” that re-defines the canons of uncompromise elegance.
It's called Hydra like the broadest constellation of the Southern hemisphere: this is footwear that, in line with the origin of Marina Yachting, sets the pace of a new era.
Hydra comes from the synergy of advanced technologies, precious materials and an extreme search for structural and stylistic simplicity.
Hydra turns the concept of shoe upside down pivoting around Footbed. A footbed made of state-of-the-art water-proof materials, designed and patented accordingly, that let the feet transpire through a bespoke micro-piercing.
Hydra is the first footwear with technical servicing: Footbeds, each marked by an identification number, extractable and washable, may be replaced by the company.
