Sergio Davila’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection was inspired by historical, dark and foggy old South American cities like Lima, Peru. The colors and silhouettes of the collection makes me think of a well-dressed, chic vampire, which is in the designers advantage since the vampire craze is so huge right now. The collection is very moody, but in a good way.
When Davila moved to the historical Centre of Lima – near to Plaza San Martin and Chinatown – and lived in a Victorian apartment for 8 months to create this collection. During one of his nights out, Sergio met Concept Artist Alvaro Feliu: Alvaro’s vanguardist and eclectic art served as inspiration for Sergio. Additionally, Sergio used the distinguished Peruvian dog – it has no hair and an elegant “mohawk” adorns its head – as well Punks that live in the surroundings of and in Lima, a city with more DNA than all other cities in the world.
