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.

HUNTSMAN OPENS FIRST LOCATION OFF OF SAVILE ROW WITH NEW YORK’S 57TH STREET PIED-A-TERRE

Making actual history, Huntsman is now the first Savile Row tailor to have ‘opened up shop’ in New York, with their new ‘appointment only’ pied-a-terre on 57th Street.
The pied-a-terre marks the first Huntsman location outside of Savile Row.

With an estimated 60 percent of Huntsman’s clientele being based in the U.S., the 57th Street location will serve as an environment where the brand can privately host and provide a further elevated service to clients.

The pied-a-terre, intimate and private in nature in midtown Manhattan, Huntsman New York will be located at 130 West 57th Street, 7th floor, and appointments may be made by email or phone.

 “In a 167 year old business, there are traditions to nurture and others to challenge. While making garments by hand in a similar was as they were in 1849 ensures a quality rarely equaled with modern techniques, in today’s world, I felt we should be closer and able to better serve our clients in America, where the largest Huntsman client base lives and works. A New York presence was a logical next step, and with our pied-a-terre we’re able to bring a little bit of our iconic Savile Row environment to the U.S.” says Pierre Lagrange, Chairman and Owner of Huntsman, regarding the New York opening.
