If the Spring-Summer Ermenegildo Zegna collection were a city, it would have parks and skyscrapers, museums and trendy bars, sea and countryside. Like a cosmopolitan, sophisticated and somewhat eccentric gentleman who mixes the rigor of aesthetics with touches of studied casual nonchalance. A truly European gentleman.
On the catwalk of the first fashion show of its second century, Zegna discovers a new freedom through mixing styles, clean colors and orderly patterns all weaved from precious ultra-light yarns. Powder blue, orange and tangerine, sage green, cornflower and navy blues, brown coupled with lit neutrals, intertwined wefts and graphic prints.
A perfect wardrobe for the curious and stylish gentleman with a multi-faceted lifestyle, ready to enjoy the best under all circumstances be it formal functions or leisure time. Jackets are in line with such versatility, with a selection of clean cuts ranging from fitted to loose, always coupled with comfortable trousers. Impeccably elegant suits are presented in intense colors – blue “Cool Effect” blazers are worn with light trousers and the new “Zero Weight” jackets (Trofeo 600, superfine wool and silk weighing 145 grams a metre). Guru-collar shirts are styled with a scarf draped around the neck and a thin leather belt around the waist. This charming and intellectual gentleman plays with his casual style through saddle stitching and leather piping, even on shirts, along with belted details.
Fabrics have the Zegna signature, always of an amazing quality and lightness, highlighted with light linen jerseys and new ultra-light wools. Many varieties of silk: seersucker, matte, resin coated “Microsilk “, knitted jacquards and “Crossover” linen silk wool blends.
Accessories underline the urban-chic attitude of the collection. Light bags and backpacks, in calf and deer skins, with belted handles and contrast stitching. Unlined buffalo shoes and thin leather sandals, classic tear-shaped sunglasses and straw hats with leather detailing.
