An intimate dialogue, a regenerating closeness. From a slower life to a more responsible use of resources: in FW21 the relationship between man and nature becomes a correspondence of loving senses. Space for freedom of perception, as in a walk in the woods, with some references to the British elegance of the countryside gentleman. To discover the shades of wood on new textures: natural wool and cotton but also technical eco-materials. To immerse yourself in an harmony of autumn tones, scents of trees and earth, muffled noises.
Alessandro Gherardi
New lengths, reworked hems, playing on details: even a statement garment like the shirt can accommodate the contemporary. At Alessandro Gherardi the FW21 season sees the debut of the Casual line: Texan, button down large and semi-classic base. The project is completed with proposals with an oversized fit: two jackets in cotton gabardine, that come also in denim and flannel. The classic models welcome new travel companions who explore the shades of autumn and winter imagery: burnt, ocher, burgundy, brown.
Buttertea
Timeless classics with a refined touch. Clothes that become faithful allies to take care of and preserve. The collection includes for the first time a truly wide range of styles in the most sustainable cashmere yarn on the market. The buttons are in corozo (vegetable ivory), exclusively vegetable dyes. The natural sheen of silk stands out in all its splendor.
Cappellificio Biellese 1935
"The Italian Highlands" expresses the encounter between the Scottish spirit and the Italian style. Six tartans guide the color palette which is completed with a selection of Casentino cloth, Italian cashmere and Harris Tweed. Twelve hat models associated with the choice of fabrics from the best wool mills in the world. Wefts and warps, tartan and cashmere Highlands and Alps: certain combinations leave their mark.
Caruso
New life to outerwear for the collection designed by the creative director Aldo Maria Camillo. The British inspiration reinvents itself through comfortable and technically innovative materials. The tartan motifs, which characterize the outerwear garments, contaminate the formal suit by adapting to its proportions. Maximum softness for the many pieces that experiment with different fabrics: from the lyocell of shirts to technical wool. Inspired by British drapery, this fabric transforms itself through hi-tech processing, becoming water and wind resistant.
Fracap
From the ambitious project of the brothers Alfredo and Giovanni Cappello, the Fracap shoe factory in Monteroni di Lecce was born in 1948, with the idea of ​​following up the passion of his father Antonio, a shoe craftsman. After decades of leadership in the production of military footwear, starting in 2002 the production is enriched with creativity in the field of civilian footwear. A success that come mostly from a mix of design, comfort and resistance derived from the value of tradition and acquired know-how.
Homeward
Technology at the service of man and his style. The Woolshield project was born from the idea of ​​presenting highly performing garments with a fashion soul. Focus on a special fabric characterized by the coupling of wool with a particular TPU membrane. The wool, thanks to its natural characteristics, absorbs up to 30% of its weight without getting wet and the TPU allows the garment to resist water and wind. This symbiosis ensures breathability and thermoregulation at all latitudes.
L'Impermeabile
Rediscovering the ancient craft of the coachman, the Tuscan brand relaunches the short cape in opaque waxed cotton. Together with the mustard-colored Stanley, it is the blue worker camp jacket that stands out for its originality. For the connoisseur of the raw effect, Terence is the right choice thanks to the marine mood of the brushed cotton and the warm Shetland interior. To alternate with the long trench coat for a nostalgic biker or with garments in Check Double and Double Check wool fabrics.
Lardini
It is a cultured and special relationship, the one between the Lardini man FW21 and a nature with warm and autumnal colors. A connection that draws inspiration from the art of Giuliano Mauri and from works such as "Walden" by H. D. Thoreau. The engine? A desire to live slower, oriented towards a conscious use of resources. Fil rouge, the nuances of wood, the orange of pumpkins, all declined on natural wool and cotton, and combined with nylon for outerwear.
Paul & Shark
The atmosphere of the North Seas with its landscapes whipped by the icy wind, the harbors of the fishermen used to strong weather conditions are the backdrop to the Paul & Shark luxury collection. Among the must-have items is the Fisherman series, made up of sweaters inspired by those who measure themselves every day with the cold and the force of the sea. Made with raw materials treated to withstand extreme weather conditions, these garments ensure comfort and durability at the same time.
Stewart
Artisan production and treatments based on natural products such as oil, Brunello di Montalcino wine, blueberries, artichokes and tomatoes, characterize a Made in Italy collection. All applied to premium materials such as horse leather, lamb, calfskin, suede, nubuck and buffalo. Among the iconic models the Jeff, a unique bomber for lightness and comfort. The Nuvola, patented in 2019, is also a must-have. An innovative leather down jacket weighing only 970g that can be stored in a small canvas bag.
