Ennio Capasa, one of Italy’s most innovative designers since the
inception of Costume National in 1981, has always looked to the world of
motorcycling for inspiration in his collections. In a unique, complementary
agreement with the Ducati Company, the buzz created on the streets of Milan by
the launch of Capasa’s Spring/Summer 2006 C’N’C’ streetwear collection has
rivaled the speed of the new SportClassic itself. A decidedly two-wheel angle
fuses with strong, distinct lines that reference 60s and 70s rock icons such as
Janis Joplin, Anita Pallenberg, and Mick Jagger.
 Distressed rider
leathers and nylons for biker jackets with contrasting stitching and zippers
highlight the collection, which also includes limited edition T-shirts, bags,
belts, jeans tinted with the vintage Ducati Meccanica logo, and micro-perforated
high-performance sneakers in 60 different colors. Black, white, and red Ducati
buttons create a rough, yet valuable feeling, as well as a historical reference
to speed and to the distinctive personality of each Ducati motorcycle. David
Gross, Ducati’s creative director, appropriately references Capasa’s collection
as “capable of capturing the soul and the special essence of our bikes.” (Click image to enlarge)
