words by Elsebeth Mouritzen
Alberto Naselli uses the french expression for literary double, Nom de Plume, as pseudonym when designing his men's collections. In his own words, he is here to entertain and dress the mob. his aim is to present creative, theatrical and humorous creations, and the crowd gathered at The Royal Danish Academy Of Music, prepared for the spetacular, were greeted by black - clad ninjas swinging red flags.
Before the backdrop of a b/w art video, male models far from ordinary - looking, either close shaved or with flowing locks, quietly presented a collection with a dual source of inspiration. The first part was clearly inspired by traditional japanese workwear for warriors, peasants and fishermen.
Lots of black pleated tops and loose pants, long or three quater's, white shirtswith funnel necklines or kimino wrap around in a clean aesthetic, completed by a monk draped in black and a warrior in shining armour.
The collection then moved into a more rock - romantic mood, again with white shirts, but in a much softer cut, almost peasant - like, together with long, double - breasted waistcoasts over black leggins or breeches in a daringly dark universe
