VITELLI GIOVENTÙ COSMICA FW24 MENSWEAR
“OVERLAND TO ORDOS”
inspired by a legendary journey from West Germany to Inner Mongolia, circa 1961, made by a group of Hamburg’s “existentialists” - members of the original “EXIS” youth scene.
On their way back, a few EXIS settled down in Kathmandu and opened the infamous “german” pastry-shop-turned-speakeasy club The Bakery, a nightly gathering spot for diverse communities, as reported by many travelers of the Hippie Trail and depicted in the Hindi film ‘Hare Rama’ (1971).
The story of Exis “on the road” to Mongolia informed the utility-inspired aesthetics of the collection and the evocative set photographed by Federica Sasso, styled by Patrick Clark starring Patrick, Sun, Lyana, Kaleem, Cristina and Nazareno💚
