Simon Cracker creates a brand uniform to highlight star upcycled garments during Milan Fashion Week
MILAN (AP) — Simon Cracker's collection for next summer is an expression of exasperation with a world of uninformed 'experts,' and as an antidote the Italian upcycled brand has distilled its focus to singular, spotlight garments, paired with a Simon Cracker new uniform. For designers Filippo Biraghi and Simone Botte, upcycling is the lexicon they use to tell the story. This season's was titled: 'The devil in the details.' They took inspiration for their ironic and disproportionate details from the Belgian designer Martin Margiela, adding to the garments oversized buttons that were actually facsimile copies, huge safety- and clothespins and giant zipper pulls. 'We didn't copy Margiela. We tried to use the same language,'' Biraghi said. New brand uniform highlights the stars The basic Simon Cracker co-ed uniform for Spring-Summer 2026 was a simple square T-shirt fashioned from jersey stock that they saved and reconditioned after it became waterlogged in flooding. The T-shirts, each with a big care label sewn on the front, were paired with tailored black shorts. The uniforms were backdrops for the real stars: A blazer with multiple crumpled arms that unfurled on the runway into dramatic trains. A triplicate of belted trousers tiered to make super low-waisted streetwear. Shirts sewn on dress fronts, with the arms tied behind the waist. A frenzy of shirts that become a ruffled skirt. Three pleated skirts layered to form a strapless tiered dress. Each garment, made of clothes that had been in some way discarded, had its own architecture, and its own story. Simon Cracker recipe Biraghi said that the designers have come up with a 'recipe' for some core garments, including the Siamese T-Shirt he was wearing. It was made out of two T-shirts, one forming the sides with the arms, the second contributing the front and back panels. The idea is put out some identifiable pieces, while maintaining the uniqueness of each garment that is core to the brand. 'Our niche wants unique pieces. It is not the herd that interests us. Fewer but more devoted,'' Botte said.

Hellas Verona Rival Inter Milan To Sign Fiorentina Captain
Hellas Verona have joined Inter Milan in the race to sign Fiorentina captain Cristiano Biraghi this month. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Cristiano Biraghi has emerged as a surprise transfer target for Inter in the January transfer window. The Nerazzurri are looking for a wingback signing to bolster their squad depth. That comes as Tajon Buchanan is set to depart for Villarreal. Inter's first-choice target at wingback would be Roma's Nicola Zalewski. The Polish international is 23-year-old, and can play on either flank. His age and versatility make him an ideal profile. However, there is no guarantee of Inter landing Zalewski. Therefore, they also have a backup target. According to Tuttosport, Inter's Plan B would be to sign Italian international Biraghi from Fiorentina. Cristiano Biraghi has actually already had a spell at the Nerazzurri. He was on loan during the 2019-20 campaign. Considering that Biraghi is 32 years of age, he would not fit in with Inter's plan of lowering the sqaud age. Nerazzurri owners Oaktree Capital want fewer short-term moves for veterans. However, circumstances could force Inter's hand. They would be able to sign him on a six-month dry loan to bolster their ranks. But it's not just the Nerazzurri who want Biraghi, reports Tuttosport. Hellas Verona are also keen on the Fiorentina captain. Moreover, they would be willing to offer Davide Faraoni as part of a swap deal for him.
