Milan, Italy - The new Iceberg collection for Spring/Summer 2010 is constructed around the principle of an Iceberg Contemporary Art Museum. The giant backdrop announced the colours, save the greys and rare blacks, which would be seen throughout the collection.

Artistic director Paolo Gerani began began the presentation of the show with silhouettes in grey, tan and beige colours. In some of the shorts, we see 2 inch rolled cuffs and with checker board prints as reverse lining. Some silhouettes appear in multiple print jerseys. The jersey holds close to the defined and sculpted bodies of the models. The jeans in the collection have a washed blue appearance. Both the jeans and trousers are cut closely to the legs.

The cuts are sexy when applied to the fabrics that compliment the colours used, ultimately bringing the collection t life. Among them, we find wild bursts of mauve and lime greens (as seen in the suede shoes). Hot pink and lipstick red make their way into the collection as well in the shoes. Cashmere long sleeved crew neck t-shirts or body shirts can be seen in shocking blue-greens.
