quality of the shades deepens the endearing sense of enduring colours , with a special privilege given to the timeless shades of grey . Black breaks away from its classic rigidity to take on a cosy , threedimensional nature , becoming a coherent expression of the brand ’ s character in the interpretation of the most special garments and in the creation of graphic effects in combination with beige .
There is no shortage of autumnal and woody browns , alternating with very light and enveloping panamas and warm whites , or warmer cream and butter tones . Old Sheffield Plate-style lamés , satins , tassels and couture fabrics add lustre to special occasions .
The collection ’ s knitwear is the result of experimentation , reworking the weights and characters of traditional garments with new inlays and refined overlapping effects . The masculine character of Argyle motifs is reinterpreted in terms of proportions and finishes to give life to new , three-dimensional and feminine dimensions . The dense and compact nature of double knits is balanced by a tendency towards transparency , evoking a delicate interplay of veiling and layering
that imbues the patterns with an understated allure .
OPERA knits and Couture Knitwear reimagine floral motifs , Irish cables and classic ribs in a sophisticated blend of techniques that alternate masterful handwork with precious embroidery .
Skirts are important in new trends , competing with trousers in combinations with oversized coats , bomber jackets and masculine sweaters and shirts . A new emphasis on femininity is dynamically renewed in style and form , exploring different volumes and lengths with a focus on the sophisticated yet effortless aesthetic of circle and A-line skirts .
Aligning a sartorial character with a chic and effortless attitude , trousers favor soft , relaxed volumes , enhanced by tactile surfaces in dense wools or fluid surfaces in satins , ultra-lightweight velvets and soft flannels . Iconic denim , in its no-fade version , takes on a refined aesthetic for the day , while in a tuxedo version becomes glamorous for the evening .
Matching sets take on a fresh appeal thanks to new materials : knits , denim and soft leathers reformulate the search for order with a dynamic
touch . Coats , overshirts , tops , and shirts contribute to broadening the offering of matching sets from a contemporary standpoint , accompanied by combinations featuring blazers with a strong identity that further enhance the look , even when paired with different materials .
As well as shimmering effects , glossy satins , sequined embroidery and feathers that evoke a sense of lightness , eveningwear has a sense of understated , sophisticated glamour based on chic silhouettes , charming mohair tuxedos and the iconic nuances of no-fade denim .
Sartorial values are interpreted through bonded woollen fabrics , shaped into contemporary designs and framed by graphic borders . The belt motif , reminiscent of the college world , runs through timeless everyday bags and harmonises with new derby shoes and penny loafers . The tactility of shearling and knitwear adds a feminine touch to the surfaces and details of ballerinas and accessories , creating a cosy winter vibe . For eveningwear and the finest accessories , exclusive jewelled embellishments add sparkle to the fabrics , created through precious handloom techniques .
