The past and future come together in a collection specifically envisaged and designed for the present.
The Reimagine capsule collection by PINKO X Patrick McDowell returns with an all-new edition for Spring/Summer 2022, where utterly bold and sexy design marks another step towards more sustainable and responsible fashion.
Minimalist pieces that hug the body like a second skin and fabrics inspired by technical sportswear combine with imperial-style bustier tops and voluminous, elegant and timeless silhouettes. It's like being suddenly teleported into The Matrix, but with the pizzazz and radiant sparkle of the Palace of Versailles. Everything seems to contrast yet every detail is exactly where it should be and where it's designed to be. Slim-fitting dresses, skirts and sweaters, loose-fitting trousers and floaty mini shirt dresses that double up as shirts. The melding of two inspirations culminates in a bustier constructed with more than 40 panels in poplin and ultra-technical stretch fabric.
All the fabrics are processed in Italy, in Emilia Romagna where possible (the region home to PINKO's headquarters) and with a focus on sustainability: the technical fabric is derived from recycled fishnets recovered from the ocean, the jersey is recycled and the high-quality cotton is totally organic. This, together with the limited number of pieces actually made, helps reduce the environmental impact of the collection.
"I’m really excited to reimagine PINKO X Patrick McDowell collection 4 - I’m super thrilled to launch this new sexier version of my designer hand writing combining my signage volume and sporty feel with a much more sensual edge. As sustainability design director for PINKO I'm so excited by the ever evolving sustainability strategy we are implementing and as ever we are using these collections to trial new and greener ways of working for the wider business as a whole where I’m continuing to push forward into more responsible ways of working."

"I cannot forget how Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, the Spice Girls, Xtina created the glam around the tv shows, videos and the first era of social media. I have always been fascinated by the mass media effect and the music universe and I think it is a language very similar to fashion: versatile, creative and very fun."
