Ermenegildo Zegna is a name that has been a force in menswear
for over a century. The company was a longtime
supplier of fabric and a family owned textile mill but in more recent times
they have been known as a go to resource for men’s clothing, primarily suits
and weekend wear for the polished business man and now for men of the world. The evolution of the now mega brand known as
Zegna has been exactly that evolutionary.
This is not a collection for fashion victims but rather a collection
for men of discerning taste who want to
look like men that are urbane, sophisticated, rich and stylish without looking
like they are wearing a costume or worse yet that they are wearing someone
else’s clothes. For, Fall 2013, the
collection is slick without being too edgy and almost monochromatic in shades
of grey and back. There is no doubt that
the book title 50 Shades of Grey will
be used to describe this season’s offering.
Do not take this to mean that the collection is interchangeably tedious
or boring as it cannot be confused with either.
Yes, exquisite fabrics that are unmistakably luxurious and
are used throughout and with great élan.
Yes, lots of shades of grey whether marled or tweeded or patterned,
exquisite outerwear which is always a hallmark of the season, and a lean yet
easy silhouette are employed exit after exit.
Flourishes such as U necked sweaters, cummerbund waists, fencing vests
asymmetric zip closures and shawl collars are also major components which amp
up the stylishness of the slick collection.
I am excited to see a collection that is ageless, chic, and
classic and uber tasteful. There are way
too many collections who try to attract attention by being over the top and
outrageous. Zegna remains at the top of
the heap when it comes to delivering product that is destined for closets and
not mark down racks!
