The Iceberg Fall/Winter 2014 collection from the Italian luxury fashion house recently made its debut at Milan Fashion Week with a colorful backdrop that communicated the basis for its latest menswear line: a harmonious mix of red and blue.
Although the collection was made up of plenty of neutrals, these were supported by shots of a deep red burgundy and a gorgeous teal blue. These colors were used in unison for accessories, layering on top of one another and mottled together on some jackets, prints and knits.
The Fall/Winter collection is full of cozy jumpers and jackets with unusually placed zippers, which serves to bring some interest to the classic bomber jacket and parka.
