Linen, a strong textile derived from flax plants, is the perfect complement for hot weather.
In addition to having a luxurious hand, it is lightweight and dries more quickly than cotton. When left in its most natural state, undyed and with few embellishments, linen invites a life lived lightly. It speaks of warm days relaxing in the grass beneath the umbrella pines – a spritz in one hand and a good book in the other. For this ebullient venture, Antonelli’s discreetly Italian style is uniquely suited.
Designers and sisters Enrica and Roberta Antonelli’s primary focus is to craft stylish, modern pieces without sacrificing ease of wear. By harnessing their heritage of fine tailoring, the duo combines smart cuts, airy silhouettes and classic shirting elements to create their selection of timeless, lightweight garments. Their latest summer collection focuses on the symphonic inspiration of nature. Through texture and color they capture frothy waves, sweeping sand beaches, smooth ocean stones poking through saltwater and a cascade of mountain peaks just along the horizon — each a reminder of the peace found beneath the sun.
