Salvatore Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2015
For Salvatore Ferragamo’s Spring 2015 collection, Massimiliano Giornetti seeks an idea of sentimental elegance made of recollections and dignity.
A focus on lightness by removing weight from matter, thickening the optical effect of weaves and graphics, which merge into a dynamic and deliberately imperfect visual texture.
Italian tailoring, an intrinsic part of the house’s DNA, is combined with sportswear to create a new archetype of the male wardrobe.
Precise lines and perfect details are the backdrop for a tactile experience, a necessary condition of the modern flaneur who achieves effortless rigour.
VERSACE MENS SPRING/SUMMER 2015
Inspired by Cuban soul and the streets of Havana – bringing energy,
colour and an air of laid back sophistication
Relaxed formality includes suits worn with t-shirts, tailored shorts ......
and single breasted one button suits transformed into jumpsuits.
Rich fabrics are crepe de chine, wool crepe tailoring and silk jersey
trackpants.
Havana scenes appear on macramé embroidered shirts and patchwork
leather jackets, while Cuban graffiti inspires a coloured print and jacquard.
Knits are fresh with drop stitch cardigans, fine gauge crochet knits
and a cable cardigan in cotton and lurex.
Jeans are elaborately refined, especially white jeans cut and
embroidered with baroque swirls and the laser cut black jeans that are hand
frayed.
White underwear and swimwear has a Roman mood, worn with towels and
togas made from white Versace sheets.
Colour palette included top to toe powder pink and azure blue.

Ermenegildo Zegna Couture – Autumn/Winter 2014 Advertising Campaign stars actor Sam Riley
The campaign features as protagonist, the talented actor Sam Riley who stars in the upcoming feature films “Maleficent” and “Suite Francaise”.
A set designed with a minimalist decor gathers in one room, eight men in grey; on the background a map of the world, the world of menswear, of which these are the leaders.
In some takes the actor is shot alone, confident in his elegant sportiness, one of the themes of next winters collection.
In other shots Riley is photographed in contrast surrounded by others, maintaining the focus on himself, his new elegance and the leadership of the Ermenegildo Zegna Couture menswear message under the creative guidance of Stefano Pilati.
Photography by Inez & Vinoodh
Sam also attended the World Premiere of Disney’s “Maleficent” at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, CA, wearing a blue sable, one button, peak lapel tuxedo, shirt, bow tie, and shoes by Ermenegildo Zegna Couture
