June 26, 2012: Canali’s Spring Summer 2013 collection takes inspiration from huge spaces with boulevards and long palm-lined avenues set against immense crystal-clear skies, sunsets tinged by tropical colours, open-air life and poolside cocktails.
The collection thus, permeating with this feeling, remarkably mixes genres and styles, sacred and profane, tailored and casual, to produce the sensation of an eternal holiday and good humour.
The collection starts with a group of garments in super light cotton and silk, with sharp lines, featuring colours like yellows, sky blues, water, rose pink and wisteria, showcased in loosely flowing t-shirts.
The next group borrowed references from the dress style of the many classic and noir movies that wrote the history of Hollywood in the 1950s and 60s. Unlined or semi-lined jackets with rounded peak lapels, constructed but soft shoulders, rounded breast pockets in pure tailor made style, and a contoured cut with fitted waist were presented in both single-breasted models with peak lapels and six-button double-breasted versions.
Classic graphical pinstripes have been combined with light linen fabrics, accessories are light and understated, and trenches have been transformed into dust coats. Canali’s signature Kei jacket is also a part of the collection with striking yet elegant colour combinations.
