Canali AW17 Menswear Campaign

The protagonist: a modern man who’s elegance is manifest in every occasion, interpreted in this case by the model Mathias Lauridsen, wearing key looks from the AW17 collection with styling by Emil Rebek.

The collection meets the needs of gentlemen who prefer to maintain a level of sophistication in both formal and relaxed contexts, without sacrificing either comfort or style.
 A contemporary aesthetic characterised by clean lines, where iconic fabrics from the grand tradition of men’s’ tailoring intertwine and overlap, giving rise to new and unexpected patterns and motifs.

A palette of saturated colours: plum, browns from natural to burnt; white and black, and a myriad of gradations of grey, which enhance the texture and preciousness of natural fibres like cashmere, chinchilla and Vicuna.

Tailoring is the essence of Canali style and elegance, and remains the absolute protagonist in every single image of the Autumn Winter 2017 campaign.

Canali AW17 Menswear

Canali AW17 is dedicated to covert craftsmanship, deconstructed design that belies sophisticated silhouettes.

Outerwear is at times oversized, taking inspiration from the 1960s,

while suits follow the natural contours of the body, shunning excess in favor of a more pared down aesthetic.

Focus falls on fabrics: cashmere traverses the collection in prestigious "double" constructed pieces and in luxurious blends with wool, silk, vicuña and chinchilla.

 Many of the fabrics feature distinctive textures from a micro bouclé to an ultra-soft baby alpaca velour

and luxurious finishes like a sable-effect on a pure cashmere field jacket.

 Quintessential menswear motifs like Prince of Wales check, madras, herringbone and birds eye are at times overlapped or rotated, exuding a classic but contemporary feel.

Jacquards and other intricate weaves create optical patterns.

Dynamic mélanges of rich, saturated colors within a palette flows smoothly between illustrious purples and  natural browns

and a grayscale that goes from white to black.
