Dear Stefano,
Bravo!! Okay I will say it again … BRAVO! I guess all things happen for a reason and
here you are with your first collection for Ermenegildo Zegna and what a
statement you have made! My only
reservation is that the palette looks a bit fallish and somber but the clothes
are sublime. ... and proof positive one more time that "designers
design."
I am so taken with this collection as there is such a great
amount of nuance here and so much fashion but none of it slaps you in the face,
you have to look for it. I just adore
the “crunched” cuff, the new take on a 2 button DB, some of the abbreviated
jackets and the details that you have added and subtracted on the standby
silhouettes. I really think that you
have found your home finally.
The fact that you did in no way obliterate the house DNA is
more than honorable and that you have breathed a new chic into this more
traditional brand is admirable. Yes, I
know that each season Zegna has been moving towards more of a fashion statement
but for Spring you made it a headline collection. You have shown what you are made of with this
collection; I am just nuts for some of the jackets/outerwear, especially your
take on a “safarien” and the way you executed your pocket treatments on the
outerwear, even a couple of the coats are just lust worthy
So Stefano, you have set the bar high for the season and I
could not be happier for you and thank you for opening the season in Milan on
such a high note.
Love to catch you when you are next in NYC...maybe a
cappuccino at Nespresso...just a drive by a meet and greet...ciao ciao, kiss
kiss and again B R A V O!!!!
Love
J
