From the original mix of an elegant designer of Polish origins and a restless, proudly Neapolitan artist, a new fashion project was born.
In the era of great upheavals, where the mind and heart of the world are in turmoil and ferment, TUMULTO is coming. It is all about a contemporary man who is reborn with enthusiasm in a reality that is constantly changing.
What if we told you that the only way to escape the entropic reality is to immerse into nature?
Mater Natura is Tumulto’s debut menswear collection showed for the first time in September 2024 at the Milan Fashion Week.
It derives from the mother brand, Ciriana, representing the same ecological values shared across the group.
Tumulto is proudly made in Italy out of entirely organic, biodegradable, undyed materials produced in an ethical way, free of pesticides and chemical components, with full traceability. Its uniqueness lies in featuring artistic motives created by Roberto Mosella aka Roviro’, a recognised Neapolitan artist.
The brand’s leitmotif is ometto, or a little human, whose quests and exploits are depicted throughout interesting tales on each and every wardrobe piece. It is not the artist who tells you how to read them. The stories are left for your imagination and free interpretation.
In MATER NATURA Tumulto's style is immediately recognizable in its character and in its whimsical and elegant exuberance.
The protagonist finds himself expressing his vitality and energy in a close contact with nature.
He interacts with water identifying himself as a drop that brings life to the city. He hides himself on the meadow, examines a stunning tree or is lifted into the air by a kite of flowers.
The little human walks, lies down, contemplates, jumps of joy, dances, flies, runs and teaches children to love their land and its wonders. He is full of vitality, passion, he is happy.
The artisic visuals applied on undyed fabrics give life to Tumulto’s outfits. They are boldly expressive yet not exaggerated. They seem to invite a stranger to come closer.
The pictorial style behind this artistic line is clearly expressed in its juxtaposition between a contemporary and futuristic vision merging with the ancestral pillars of the nature that has always welcomed us and whom we should finally start to be grateful.
Collaboration with Amsterdam Fashion Academy
A group of talented students from the Art Direction course at the Amsterdam Fashion
Academy were asked by their teacher, Bea Salomma, to dive into Tumulto's MATER
NATURA collection. Their mission? To capture and showcase its core messages through their own visual interpretations.
Drawing inspiration from select Tumulto styles, which they had the opportunity of wearing, the participants wove narratives of urban solitude, grief, loss, chaos, fear, and desperation—each tale tinged with a quest for connection. Their challenge was to depict the profound transformation of a lost soul into a confident, present, and harmonized individual, ready to embrace and bond with others. Mother Nature played a pivotal role, offering a sanctuary of calmness and truth.
Blending art with modernity, the top-performing students masterfully conveyed intense emotions through dynamic poses, bold colour compositions, and striking settings. Among the impressive presentations, one stood out: "Connection" by Maria Yagunova. Maria magnificently captured Tumulto's artistic essence, highlighting our innate connections with one another through nature.
Maria's chosen methods of expression were impeccable. The powerful interplay of shades and tonalities, meticulously selected accessories, perfectly cast models, and intricate details—such as an artistic fake tattoo mirroring a pattern on Tumulto's bermudas—attested to her thorough research and dedicated efforts.
Congratulations, Maria, and kudos to your team for an outstanding job!
