Bon-ton and rebelliousness are in a charged relationship. The fashion designer Ermanno Daelli knowed to ease such a relationship for the brand “ERMANNO SCERVINO”, based in Bagno a Ripoli near Florence. He presented the result in the form of the ready‑to‑wear collection for autumn and winter of 2018/2019 in the Palazzo Serbelloni in Milan on 24th February 2018. Under the motto “WINTER BLOSSOM”, the dresses of silk satin and Chantilly lace with inlays were something for the bon-ton. In contrast, tartan appeared in punk-rock manner either with patchwork inlays of lace for dresses and skirts or in bright colours for pant suits. Tartan and Valenciennes lace were able to add long and wide skirts of tulle or of silk organza or with inlays. Hand-crocheted ruffles of silk organza surrounded evening gowns with a couture flair. As a weave hand-embroidered oversize sweaters were a novelty. Sometimes coats with a masculine cut had an asymmetric collar of inlaid fur. Furthermore, sheepskin felt as fine as cashmere wool. Moreover, there were silver shoes, gloves and belts.
