MFF: Alessandro Gherardi, elegance with an exclusive touch
Editorial
Edition 99
The heart of the new fall-winter 21/22 collection features research onto details as its hallmark. Plus, the casual line debuts.
To be elegant you should not be noticed, you must proscribe perfumes, banish excesses, and seek harmonies, while enhancing details. The collection of Alessandro Gherardi, the eponymous brand of shirts founded in the seventies in the Tiberina Valley, starts from this principle, and speaks of a man who loves the sartorial world and who is in search of that special detail that makes him different from the masses, of a man who loves to dare, while remaining refined and elegant.
The shirt is a passe-partout par excellence. It is proposed with various fits, with re-elaborated hems and plays of details that do not affect its versatility. The chromatic palette ranges from the most classic blue, to light blue and white, to more autumn-like tones including burnt shades, ochre, burgundy, and earth.  
 
Moving around in his world, made up by excellence, Made in Italy, and sartorial workmanship, for the FW 21-22, Alessandro Gherardi launches the Casual line, which is identified by a special label.
Texana, the large button-down with a semi-classic base and dual collar variants define the traits of the new models. The project is completed by two new proposals of over-wearability, two bona fide heavy cotton gabardine piece-washed “jackets”, in denim, flannel, or in a wool blend with piece-dyed flannel effect achieved through the “old light wool-dyed” technique. 
 
In terms of materials, the “Casual” line explores treatments like “stone wash” and the “dirty soft 2 – tea-dyed”, but also different fabrics: from pure to printed denim, gabardine, passing through leno weave chevron in stripes and checks over-dyed with the “old light cotton-dyeing” technique.
Essential for Alessandro Gherardi are “Black Label, the “Recycled” project and “Athletic” that recounts its essence also thanks to a new model. A maxi shirt in nylon and elastane cotton piece-dyed with a dual “nylon+cotton” dyeing technique. The result is a product that is even more versatile to wear as either a jacket or shirt.
