Sergio Tacchini - MW88 // teaser

MW88
Sergio Tacchini launches preview of the SS19.
Milan, December 2018: In 1988 Mats Wilander, tennis champion and brand ambassador for Sergio Tacchini, wore a tracksuit designed by the Italian brand featuring colour blocking on the shoulders and a double parallel stripe across the chest. The same vintage graphics and logo are today being used in the MW88 capsule, a preview of the spring/summer 2019 collection.
The line is named after this Swedish champion and the year when he wore this particular tracksuit.
The MW88 comprises three garments in one outfit: track top and bottoms and a polo shirt. Elegant and sophisticated, soft and lustrous, the velvet used for this capsule is teamed originally with sporty style items to create a more on-trend new entry in the sportswear range. The track top is decorated with a golden zip that lends a flash of light to formal colours such as blue, burgundy and beige. For the polo, the velvet is combined with cotton jersey to create a contrast between glossy and matt, without losing the graphic double stripe element. The brand’s original logo from the eighties is embroidered on all the garments, again in a contrasting colour.
Fit lends harmony to all the items, and the track bottoms in particular are very slim, the legs cropped to just above the ankle for a look that goes beyond sportswear and flatters the male figure as a whole. The MW88 line preserves all the comfort and ease of use of its sporting origins for those who however like to wear clothes that are not only comfortable but also on-trend.
MW88 will be on sale in the best stores in Europe from December 2018.
