April 19, 2021 by Editorial Team

Inspired by changing lifestyles and reconsidered priorities, Italian luxury fashion house Zegna continues to transform the very idea of luxury to envision an effortlessly wearable category of clothing.

While Zegna has been pushing boundaries of man’s tailoring for more than 110 years, in 2021 the fashion menswear
brand is reconstructing his clothing for greater comfort, while holding the high-end position at the forefront of sartorial precision.

“At Zegna we call it Luxury Leisurewear. This collection represents a paradigm shift in the way we think of style and sophistication, as we weave a new versatile wardrobe into the fabric of our DNA, to become a fundamental part of our design philosophy moving forward.” – Zegna

Tailored with comfort and versatility in mind, the collection is crafted from elevated fabrics enhanced with technical details that respond to the evolving way we live and work.

There’s no place like home: Frenesia Baguette and Fendi Spring-Summer 2021 reflections in Milan

October 12, 2020September 30, 2020 by Editorial Team

A sense of quiet beauty and serenity inspired by Silvia Venturini Fendi’s profoundly personal reflection on the current mood and moment permeated the Fendi SS21 collection.

Rigorous silhouettes, bright tones, and retro details demonstrate Fendi’s signature penchant for unexpected contrasts. Crisp cotton and lightweight linen are elevated into a whole new realm of luxury in the Fendi SS 2021 collection.

On 23 September, Fendi was the first luxury Maison to organize a physical show during Milan Fashion Week, unveiling both its Women’s and Men’s collections for Spring-Summer 2021. In the intimate ambiance of its Milan showroom, with members of the very small audience seated a meter apart, the Rome-based Maison revealed Silvia Venturini Fendi’s latest designs in an airy, paired-down scenography.

The audience – in person or online – watched as, between light curtains billowing in a gentle breeze, looks for both men and women played on a subtle palette of white, beige, black and pastel tones, highlighted with sky blue and cardinal red. For Silvia Venturini Fendi, the collection conjured a patchwork of memories of time spent quietly at home with family. Thus, the shadow cast by a window when one is inside looking out was printed on garments in a game of transparency and texture.

From tailoring to leatherwork heritage, the Fendi Spring Summer 2021 collection showcased Italy’s enduring traditions and techniques – many of them passed down through generations of artisans.

For accessories, the “hand-in-hand” Baguette project celebrated the collaboration between Silvia Venturini Fendi and artisans from the Abruzzo and Marche regions, famous for their mastery of intricate, traditional techniques with lace and wickerwork.

Fendi Frenesia Baguette

The Fendi Frenesia Baguette range is brought to life through the exclusive leather-scenting technique, created by the Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Silvia Venturini Fendi, and the accompanying 5 ml vial of perfume to intensify the fragrance or extend its lifespan for up to four years. The first scented Fendi baguette bag was launched last year. FendiFrenesia Baguette is much more than an accessory: it has grown into an immersive experience that explores the senses of touch, sight, and smell.
