BEAUTY: Clothing--Ermenegildo Zegna

For the label's '19-'20 Fall-Winter collection at Milano Moda Uomo, Ermenegildo Zegna creative director Alessandro Sartori chose to stage the show in the atrium of Milano Centrale, one of the largest train stations in Europe. And if the idea was travel, Sartori's destination was clearly snowy mountains and icy peaks, which makes sense since this is a Fall and Winter collection. But this was not a selection of average ski wear...Sartori chose to start with classic men's tailoring and suiting, but then gave it all a modern, edgy twist with trousers sporting three straps at the calf, and pant legs with inner insulating layers while jackets remained smart and stylish. This nudged the collection into a more "Chic, less street" appearance, according to Sartori. Shoes with double uppers and zip-up boots look like they could be worn to climb the Matterhorn or to ski the slopes in St. Moritz. All of this was presented in yummy autumn colors like plum, sable, blue slate, mustard, and icy blue. It seems simple...I usually like a bit more, um, ooomph and intrigue in a collection but there is just something so appealing about it all...
