Steeped in a century of Italian tradition, Acqua di Parma’s heady, alluring mix of citrus, florals, and leathers for him, her and home whispers seductively of la dolce vita. Acqua Di Parma takes over Miami Brickell City with the iconic sunshine yellow taking over throughout the space. Installation by London based studio, Harlequin-Design.
Recently, a three-year partnership between Acqua di Parma and Samuel Ross’ design studio, SR_A, was born. The pair’s inaugural offering? A redesigned version of Colonia, Acqua di Parma’s very first fragrance that launched in 1916.
“I wanted to start with a product that represented the notion of what it is to be an urbanite, what it is to move between cityscapes and landscapes,” Ross said. Traveling frequently between London — the location of SR_A’s headquarters, not to mention Ross’ birthplace — and Milan, where the atelier for his fashion brand A-COLD-WALL* resides, Ross is a seasoned city-dweller. The connection between scent and space is a concept that has always fascinated Ross, which you can find the latest collaboration in stores now.
