Fabrics like Shetlair – a mix of merino, mohair wool and cashmere – with its lavishly brilliant, typical shetland-like look in a super light weight, Cashco delavé, a slightly stretch mix of cashmere and cotton, and the more essential plain cashmere, are the ideal bases to produce jackets like the superlight and unlined “Piuma”, or the “Cardigan”, a must-have contemporary and comfortable garment.
The 'Upper Casual' concept is emphasized with a new delavé, Cashco velvet “Walking Jacket”, with a multi-pocket lining and a zip. The light wadding between its outer Cashco fabric and its lining makes this garment warm and multi-functional, yet in keeping with the classical and traditional look of the collection.
Essential components of this “Upper Casual” design are the garment-dyed shirts, both formal but with a brand new twist, for 3-D knitwear ties in all shades of burned browns.
Leather is gaining momentum within the multi-functional sleeve units that are made of layers of different materials: oiled nubuk with “saddle” stitches, lined with wool and cashmere, a deerskin caban lined with a mix of cashmere and the exceptional “frosted” lambskin.
Shoes match perfectly well the look of this collection: from the “Limited Edition” – increasingly more exclusive and sophisticated in its shape and detail – to the loafers that are the big revival of this season, with engraved monogram metal plates.
The 2006-2007 Autumn-Winter Ermenegildo Zegna Couture collection is all about exclusivity in terms of mixing and matching fabrics.
