Florence, Italy – Though not quite yet universally known as a household name, the Plus-Que-Ma-Vie brand is a dynamic Italian label that is causing a big stir in the world of menswear. Based in Milan the young house is primarily known for its edgy and inventive work that always mixes the technology of modern fabrics with a bit of urban attitude.

In the new collection, Plus-Que-Ma-Vie has decided to make its Spring/Summer 2018 collection into one that truly reflects the season. We find cotton, cotton denims, technical materials and hints of leather used among the composing materials. From them the house’s artistic director and founder, Andrea Lazzari, has created lots of T-shirts and shorts blended together with stylish long-sleeved, button-down shirts, eyewear and slightly oversized outerwear. The shoulders on the coats and some of the jackets are broad and matched with wide (though at times short) lapels.

Lazzari has used green anise as a highlight in the collection. Though not a single piece is done entirely in the shade, it does serve to bring an unexpected and much appreciated lightness to the dark silhouettes. Once broken apart, we find individual pieces that are extremely easy to understand and that can immediately be integrated into nearly anyone’s wardrobe.
