"NIMBUS is for the dreamers who have their feet on the cement but their heads in the clouds."

W: Louie Highgate

Simone Sciessere doesn’t just design; he remixes. By his own admission, he approaches fashion like a DJ, sampling the raw aesthetics of the underground and layering them into a high-fashion "track." His graduate collection, NIMBUS, is a masterclass in this philosophy. It feels less like a traditional runway show and more like a visual soundscape, where the grit of the asphalt meets a sudden, airy lightness.

"I consider myself a DJ of style... I don’t believe in boundaries, but in the evolution of what already exists."

The technical prowess on display in NIMBUS is what elevates it from standard streetwear to "Industrial Avant-Garde." Sciessere plays with the concept of the cloud—the literal meaning of nimbus—by using oversized, protective volumes that seem to float despite their heavy, technical appearance. There is a fascinating tension here: the clothes look like they could withstand a storm on a construction site, yet they possess a grace that feels almost weightless.

"The collection is a search for roots amidst the asphalt—a way to find lightness in the weight of the city."

While many young designers use deconstruction as a stylistic gimmick, Sciessere uses it to tell a story of liberation. Straps, technical pockets, and modular layers aren't just decorative; they represent the "armour" needed to navigate modern life. By breaking down the traditional silhouette of the parka and the cargo pant, he creates a new "uniform" for a generation that refuses to be categorized. It is a bold, adrenaline-fueled statement on the future of Italian tailoring.
