The 2012 warm weather fashion season will be all about nature and flowers with a techno-botanic focus on rainforests, according to the A-lab Milano SS collection.
Milan-based fashion designer-duo Alessandro Biasi and Simona Costa have been experimenting with artistic contamination of their fashion collections for some time, similar to the process in scientific labs, hence the A-lab Milano brand name.
After a few collections of avant-garde designs, they've settled for a psychedelic, techno-jungle print pattern for their 2012 Spring Summer collection. The recurring botanic theme is so mind-blowing that you'll definitely remember these clothes when seeing them next summer on the streets of Milan.
A-lab Milano is one of the up-and-coming talents of the 'Made In Italy' fashion scene. The brand was featured in Vogue Italy's Vogue Talent Issue, as well as the Vogue Talent Corner during the 2012 Spring Summer Milan Fashion Week.
