Unconventional elegance moving from mountain sceneries to concrete jungle, finally reaching the countryside. Different styles combined in a research of the highest craftsmanship with a taste for unique detailing and contamination of styles. The Santoni Autumn/Winter 15/16 Collection describes an adventurous and proud man that never has to pretend. A contemporary observer. The tools are the values that have been defining the DNA of the House since its foundation; the highest craftsmanship, a strong pride for real handmade products and the employment of unique materials. The disregard for the rules is the surprising common thread and the classical nature is the reassuring fil rouge.
Where Technology meets Tailoring
In the second season of its new identity, Z ZEGNA focuses on brand building.
Reinforcing and boosting its core Tailoring meets Sportswear philosophy, Z ZEGNA brings its brand identity to the next level with an innovative energy rooted in juxtaposition and freedom of choice. An inspiration to liberty and spontaneity, the new season bonds tailoring and technological sportswear, creating a distinctive Z ZEGNA style and sophistication characterized by a “Be your own style” frame of mind.
Heritage is redefined by innovation. An international expression of style is reflected in a transglobal cocktail of fabrics and technologies, where heritage is revised and placed in complimentary contrast with innovation. Fine Italian wools, authentic Scottish and Irish tweeds coexist with laser cut technology. Deconstructed tailored coats gain a new vibe in textured tweeds layered with techno sweatshirts and knitwear.
An eclectic mix of tweeded greys and textured black and white are complimented with camel, winter ivory, olive and acid yellow. Monochromatic indigo tones merge with navy and vibrant blue.
Techmerino, the natural performance wool, comes of age in a complete, comprehensive wardrobe. Tailored Techmerino pieces merged with high-tech Techmerino leisurewear play to Z ZEGNA’s sophisticated 24/7 work into weekend philosophy. The new Techmerino Light Sneaker defines the total look with ultra-light, technical sophistication.
True to the brand’s quest to innovate, Z ZEGNA unveils the Icon Warmer jacket, elevating the concept of transeasonal performance to new heights. Developed to provide customized thermic protection from early fall to the bitter-cold winter in a single outerwear garment, the Icon Warmer jacket features an advanced integrated heat-generating panel, powered by a wireless charging system. The heating support, which lasts up to 13 hours, can be activated according to personal needs.
The iconic Z ZEGNA pentagon defines the brand identity.
The Ermenegildo Zegna Couture FW 2015 Fashion Show movie directed by Philip Bussmann is an unconventional cut, a different view on the latest Autumn Winter show designed by Stefano Pilati. For the Autumn Winter 2015/16 the ‘luxury of choice’ is eco-solidarity. The uniform of an Eco-leader is the key inspiration of Stefano Pilati for this collection, seen through the use of noble fibers from the house, as well as original archive Harris Tweeds, selected for their authenticity and for their “recyclability”.
For Autumn Winter 2015, the menswear collection is influenced by the notion of an urban explorer and his effortless combination of old and new. The collection includes bold statement pieces in exotic skins teamed with classic staples, inspired by the retro aesthetic of film director Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. These include a sunflower-yellow ostrich rain mac, paired with a double breasted camel suit and full length weasel coat in rich amber tones, over a fine gauge cashmere turtleneck and wool canvas trousers.
Shoes this season consist of updated classics such as our hiking boots and ‘Heimberg’ sneakers in an array of colours. New additions are the ‘Oakwell’ hightops and ‘Tourist’ sandals, whilst The ‘Scribe Novo’ collection and Swiss moccasin offer more formal shoe options.
The Crescent Toile range of bags introduced in Spring Summer continues into Autumn Winter and includes the new Crescent Toile luggage set. A multitude of bags complete the collection and include totes, holdalls, portfolios and messenger bags to name a few, available in various leathers and exotic materials.
The undeniable style of icons such as Steve McQueen, Robert Redford and Peter Fonda is represented by chunky roll necks, tailored denim and a revisited motorcycle jacket in suede and grained leather. Jackets and coats have also been updated in supple leathers, the camouflage Crest print and lightweight materials for Bally’s take on retro sportswear. Throughout the collection, soft accessories like scarves are crated from a combination of lightweight fabrics and feature unique prints inspired by a mix of Bally’s heritage and near future.
