Ermenegildo Zegna fall 2021

Alessandro Sartori envisions his new iteration of the heritage brand as what I want to say is conservatively trendy or fashiony. 

is a softness, a fluidity, an ease that runs through out.

This is not the Zegna you knew 10 years ago as the go to tailored suit brand for the executive, which I’m sure still exists; this is 21st century Zegna which can be seen in a way that is ageless and so much of what we see here is due to styling trickery rather than how it can and will be worn.

I’m a fan of full pants, bathrobe   wraps and this easy peasy kind of dressed up but not in a tight ass kind of way. No question, the clothes are expensive but, in many ways, they are timeless, classic and carry on the traditions and DNA of the brand.

Amazing what you can do without bells and whistles like …stuffed animals, paste on kites and puddling pants yet still present a collection that rates up there with the best of them and while I’m sure it will not get the hype of a Prada or a Dior, I believe these are the kinds of clothes that have evolved during this pandemic era and will evolve even further in the post pandemic era.

Simple limited palette, exquisite workmanship, beautiful lush fabrics and knits are hallmarks of the collection.
