The Frankie Morello Spring/Summer 2014 Collection is Pattern-Enriched

— July 10, 2013 — Fashion
The Frankie Morello Spring/Summer 2014 collection is a fresh and youthful take on a collegiate aesthetic. Known for pushing the boundaries of fashion, everyone's favorite edgy designer duo returns with a punchy menswear line of cartoon food prints, remixed historical iconography and preppy silhouettes with an urban twist.

Whether pairing patterned bomber jackets and khaki shorts or opting for full-on denim ensembles, this effortlessly cool collection embraces eccentric elegance and serves as a social commentary for today's state of the fashion industry.

The label's designers Maurizio Modica and Pierfrancesco Gigliotti chose to showcase fun fast-food prints in their latest Frankie Morello Spring/Summer 2014 collection, explaining that “what we eat has become a metaphor for the fashion industry".
