It’s once again that time of the year when everyone are thinking their spring (and maybe already summer) essential-pieces. So did we as well at tyylit.fi and here’s what I personally came up with. This is one my all-time favorite photos (from Pitti Uomo, by The Sartorialist). Capturing most of my own essentials for this spring. Blue blazer Well, it doesn’t really matter what season are we talking about - this one belongs to every list. It’s only a matter of construction and materials. For spring I personally favor lightweight wools or a bit “washed look” cotton. In the pictured jacket by Boglioli there’s 2% of elastane which makes it a bit more “soft” and easier to deal with for example...
Time for next in line in terms of reviews from Pitti Uomo 85. For the second time in a row, Lardini was the brand that came up with the most inspiring collection in my book. Lardini, created and still run by the siblings Andrea, Luigi and Lorena Lardini is known for the development, innovation and experimentation it invests in to create products - with versatility of different fabrics, patterns and special treatments - that combine the art of hand tailoring and cutting-edge machinery. All of the products are manufactured entirely in Filottrano, Italy Restyling the suit - make it reversible One of the most coolest and inspiring things seen at the fair for me this time was definitely the business-line by Lardini, where the...
New project by the Boglioli brothers “New ideas surround us everywhere, yet keen instincts are required to understand them and capture their essence. We are curious, passionate, attentive and naturally love to seek out new things, without ever falling head over heels over them.” This is how Boglioli brothers Mario and Pierluigi started their letter sent before Pitti Uomo 85 in January, where the first collection of newly invented brand Gigi was presented. They both earlier sold their shares in the company that still bears their name - but now they are back in business. By their own words they want to experiment and research to create new innovations in terms of materials, processing techniques and finishes and the collection seen in...
The update rate of the blog has recently been pretty slow. And there’s a reason for that. As many people know I’ve been working with a project called #tyylit.fi for quite a while now. First we launched a forum in the beginning of 2013 and since that we’ve also been working with the idea of a new site that would fill the empty space we think there has been in the #menswear-scene in Finland. And finally last Friday we got it launched. There’s still a lot of work to do when it comes to the layout and little details but still I couldn’t be happier with the result we’ve so far come up with. However it has taken a big...
Upcoming fall and winter ´14 collection presented by Isaia at Pitti Uomo featured bunch of contemporary yet traditional and chic looks inspired by the Neapolitan Cuisine - "Cucina Napoletana". As the traditional Neapolitan cuisine features plates full of strong and vibrant Italian culture, the collection of Isaia creatively integrates the color palette and richness of the dishes into the garments starting from the deep red of tomatoes to the rust of ravioli and from the warm hues of ochre to the brown shades of coffee and espresso. The color wheel is complemented by rich shades starting from blue and pink going all the way till grey and green. At the same time the tones of fabrics reflect the shades of different entrees by combining restored vintage...
