BEAUTY: Clothing--Trussardi

I have not felt the need to pay attention to Trussardi (established in Italy in 1911 by Dante Trussardi as a leather glove manufacturer) since then-Creative Director Umit Benan left in a rather uncomfortable split many years ago now, but this 2022-2023 Fall Winter collection presented at Milan Fashion Week featured some pretty interesting winter outer wear. Current Creative Directors Benjamin Huseby and Serhat Işık (newly anointed as of 2021) created serious coats and jackets, some with a definite ecclesiastical flair, which is not a bad thing: I always say the church got at least one thing right and that is a sense of high drama. Look at the cassock-type silhouettes and the floor-sweeping length of some of these gorgeous coats. Drama indeed. And while not as grand and commanding as the long coats, the jackets give a similar sense with interesting cuts, proportions, and details like the "rings" at the hem, cuffs, shoulders and hood of the last look (if that trim is real fur, I will simply say Trussardi and Huseby and Işık are shamefully behind the times with nearly every major house giving up the use of real fur).
