Z Zegna Transatlantic - For this is the port where the founding father, Ermenegildo, first disembarked in the late 1930's to establish international trade for fine Italian wools. The period of late 1940's Italy provides the backdrop to the catwalk. An era characterized by economic growth, custom made tailoring and the return to formal dressing.
Z Zegna revives neo modern design focusing on the linear perspective of form, with sleek silhouettes, Uber luxurious fabrics and rich Italian craftsmanship. The collection constantly plays with contrasts in both form and proportion, fusing fashion tailoring and couture sportswear with sophisticated ease. Utilizing fine fabrics inspired by the ones grandfather Ermenegildo had once brought to the U.S over 60 years ago.
Double Faced Tailoring - The silhouette has been reinvented for winter, shifting conventions with contrasting oversize shapes and slimmer cuts. Updated fancy flannels, double faced woolen & cashmere fabrics, align with Zegna's heritage.
Jackets take on a shorter edgy form, in double-breasted fits, with belted waists and patch pockets, shown in subtle Prince of Wales checks and bold micro patterns. Trousers are high waisted in various volumes, or pleated with a low-rise. Exaggerated trapeze overcoats, with exposed plated seam details or in waxed and polished finishes, give a metropolitan look. Shirts revive the past, highlighting a clean neck line, with pajama collars or pointed down variations, ready for another journey.
