January 19, 2013: Canali’s Autumn-Winter 2013 collection embraces the Russian style of dressing this season and captures its opulence.
Reminiscing Gogol, Mark Rothko and Sonia Delaunay, the collection delves into the sartorial volume of a parade overcoat, the deep, precious colours of the velvet jackets, the refined rigour of the doublebreasted suits, the luxurious silk patterns of scarves and waistcoats, and the warm but stern softness of a fur lining.
Sophisticated and exclusive fabrics like cashmere, silk, casentino and bouclé appear in classic brown, blue and grey, combined with deep shades of violet, brick and dark red, or the mineral colours of petrol blue, teal and malachite.
The single and double-breasted suits are slim and comfortable, yet the overcoat is the collection’s undisputed protagonist: striking and ample in wool, silk and mink inlays, or in soft boiled wool with Art Deco designs, or in a military style with the haughty luxury of an astrakhan collar. A series of crocodile accessories enhance the luxury quotient of this elegant collection.
