By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

From royalties, celebrities, fashion-philes down to ordinary people, all eyes are on Kate Middleton as she is married into the world’s most famous royal family. As the buzz about the royal wedding is slowly simmering down everyone is still on their toes to know the latest about the new Duchess of Cambridge. As she is veered deeper into the spotlight and dubbed as a new fashion icon, the whole world wants to know more about her style.

Kate Middleton may be criticized for dressing “safely” by trend-obsessed fashion sorts but that hasn’t stopped her innovative style proving an inspiration for girls the world over. She often dons conservative outfits with a pop of gravity defying accessories. She relies on such staples like her Burberry trench coat and has even been known to provide these classics a brand new lease of life.

Miss Middleton shows an impeccable sense of style and is found to be a champion of highly desirable, designer brands like Diesel. She is frequently being photographed in Diesel’s Ronhoir Jeans and Tod’s handbags.

European Lightstyle Primavera Estate 2011 by Ermenegildo Zegna

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

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.

On the catwalk of the first fashion show of Ermenegildo Zegna’s second century, the portrait of a truly European gentleman has been drawn. A new freedom is discovered through mixing the

rigor of aesthetics with touches of studied casual nonchalance.

 

The perfect wardrobe for the curious and stylish gentleman with a multi-faceted lifestyle has been created, ready to enjoy the best under all circumstances — be it formal functions or leisure time — through mixing Italian style, innovation, comfort and performance.

Fabrics have the Zegna signature, always of the highest quality and lightness, the leading innovations of the season include “Silko “, “Silk Seersucker “, “Crossover Seersucker Suits” “Zero Weight “, “Micro Silk” and “Cool Effect Wardrobe”:

  •  “Silko”, a multi-pocket sport blazer in a new cotton and silk gabardine developed by Zegna — with nappa leather piping details and leather straps. The ultimate expression of relaxed luxury, to be paired with ‘lightstyle’ accessories such as the Boston bag in soft deerskin with belted handles and light and soft moccasins in vintage calf leather with braided strap details.
  • “Silk Seersucker” is an innovative new Zegna fabric, which updates traditional seersucker with a newly developed over dyed silk weave giving summer casual tailoring a new textured sheen and lightweight cooling performance. The perfect light jacket. 
  • “Crossover Seersucker Suits” Innovative casual suits. Seersucker applied on the Crossover (wool/linen/silk) fabric developed by Lanificio Zegna. The foulard and the leather string belt perfectly accessorize the look.
  • “Zero Weight” is an incredibly light construction for jackets and suits, tailored with ‘Trofeo 600’ fabric from the Lanificio Zegna weighing only 145 grams a meter. The fabric is an innovative blend of superfine merino wool and 15% silk with a yam count of 600, which is the finest existing. 

  • “Microsilk” is a new fabric developed by Zegna for light weight summer outerwear, with a soft sumptuous handle and water repellent performance – thanks to its pure silk fibres treated with a resin membrane. The Ermenegildo Zegna Spring Summer 2011 collection proposes a Microsilk hooded parka with leather details.
  •  “Cool Effect wardrobe” is the latest innovation from Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna which offers protection against the sun’s rays. Woven from pure Australian superfine wool, “Cool Effect” is given an exclusive finishing and dying process which enables dark fabrics to have almost the same reflective properties as white ones. For Spring Summer 2011 Zegna proposes a whole Cool Effect wardrobe that includes casual blazers, formal suits and trousers.
