Question: What inspired you the menswear collection?
Bianca Gervasio: I designed the menswear collection following the same principles and rules for the womenswear collections, that is clean and sober lines, precise geometries and intarsia. Through the intarsia technique I actually added a little bit of irony to each single piece. The menswear line includes some pieces that can be easily matched and luxurious yet casual items such as silk trench coats. The collection also features shirts with printed motifs that can be matched with ties or socks with the same motifs, perfect accessories for a man who wants to add a little irony to his wardrobe. I sort of summarised the main principles behind the collection – geometries, irony, colours and intarsia – in one piece, the waistcoat, that can be worn over a pair of denim trousers or with a classically tailored pair of trousers.
Question: How would you define this collection?
Bianca Gervasio: I would define this collection as urbanely chic and elegant. Indeed while the collection is aimed at a young and casual man, it is actually designed following the main tailoring and craftsmanship principles, moving from Mila Schön’s DNA, from elements such as double-faced fabrics.

Question: This is your first menswear line for Mila Schön, did you enjoy designing it?
Bianca Gervasio: Yes I did, it was a very enjoyable experience in fact. I actually think that menswear offers more chances and possibilities than womenswear since many things have already been tried for what regards designs for women. Though there are some great competitors out there when it comes to menswear, I think there is still a lot to do about men's clothes and accessories.
