Z Zegna brings out winter collection

Dubai, November 17, 2008

Z Zegna, the younger and more adventurous line of Ermenegildo Zegna, the men’s luxury fashion brand known for its fine tailoring and innovative use of the most exquisite fabrics, has unveiled its winter collection.

The constructivism movement, led by the photographs of Russian born Alexander Rodchenko, is the inspiration of the season; showcasing fashion as a movement of self expression, with structure and substance, said a statement.

Constructed and engineered for the new generation of modern workers, the latest Z Zegna collection builds on modern design, emphasising contrasted proportions, textures and the deconstruction of core shapes.

An industrial approach is prevalent with geometric abstractions and three dimensional designs outlined in graphic cuts. Innovative yet luxurious fabrics and rich old world craftsmanship align with the modern image of Ermenegildo Zegna’s collections.

In the 'Romantic Constructivism'collection, jackets take on a utilitarian shorter form with metallic hook fastenings, workers pockets and deconstructed raglan shoulders. Trousers are revived with a new form, focused on a voluminous centre and tapered base, worn with corresponding shirts and ties.

In 'Industrial Design', Z Zegna fuses avant-garde design with couture sportswear, skilfully combining aesthetics with function. A contemporary blueprint for winter dressing is created with urban industrial designs in uber luxurious fabrics, paired with divergent textures and shapes.

Knitwear is in multi tone ‘chine wool and cashmere’ blends, or in pure wool geometric patchwork, embodying the constructivism genre. While workers suits in ‘pure cashmere jersey’ give a further ironic sumptuous touch to industrial design.

Russian Nights features dramatic eveningwear which conjures old world images of opulence and grandeur. An elongated tailoring silhouette updates ‘silk velvet’ smoking jackets, with sharpened satin shawl lapels. Double-breasted tailoring in ‘chintz mohair’ with tapered button panelling and a short slender silhouette, gives a sophisticated allure.

The winter collection also includes matching accessories such as utility holdalls and body satchels in ‘felted cashmere’ with leather panelling which are paired with work wear lace ups and shearling lined leather gloves, recreating the work wardrobe.

Industrial hats with a treated wet effect, pure silk cravats and shearling work boots compound function with refined design, for the Z Zegna modern workers.-TradeArabia News Service
