Ermenegildo Zegna’s Alessandro Sartori reimagines a new era of menswear.
As Sartori’s second collection for Zegna, his Spring Summer 2018 range showcased an airy sportswear series with a mix between technical tailoring and couture detailing.
The weightless collection, debuted in the courtyards of Milan’s Università Statale that was transformed into a tangerine-hued surreal garden with a central tree surrounded by little pebbles. Models cascaded the runway in oversized kimono-style V-neck sweaters and pink double-breasted two-piece suit with elastic cuff trousers.
Sartori used washed silks and including sandals and crafted baseball caps in woven leather fabric. The artistic director deconstructed the brand’s aesthetic as he created malleable and effortlessly light clothes. He described his collection as “classicism with modernity” and with the fluid-cuts and high levels of craftsmanship is what kept every piece elevated.
Inspired by the natural rusty colours, the designer shared an enjoyable experience translated into this refreshing outdoorsy collection full of bomber jackets, suit trousers paired with zip-up tops and joggers.
