Italian Gran Sasso is one of my personal favorite knitwear makers on the market. Company's garments are made - in Italy - from finest materials to combine tradition with innovation and ancient craftsmanship with modern production processes. As said by themselves "quality is always fashionable". A detail worth of notice is that even you may not have any pieces labeled as “Gran Sasso” it does not mean you could not own one made by them as the company produces garments for multiple more and less known quality-brands and also for many shops for their “private label”-collections. Gran Sasso fall and winter 2014 The selection of Gran Sasso includes not just “basic” knitwear but also (double-sided) vests, suede featured & down lined...
Finally (just in time before the black Friday and Christmas) it has happened as Sauma just today opened their web shop @ http://shop.vaatturiliikesauma.fi/ The selection of the web store covers most of the items available at the store though there are some exceptions. For example shoes and accessories are excluded at this point. The brand selection includes names (and pieces) that partly are not so commonly and widely found online such and Gran Sasso, Sonrisa and Berwich. In addition there are sport coats by Lardini, overcoat and suits by Tagliatore outerwear by Herno and knits by John Smedley. Congrats to Olli and Tuomo for the launch and congrats for everyone that now are able to get their share from their selection....
For this seasonal collection Italian Boglioli has studied and been inspired by the elegance of Milanese men of the 1960's - intellectuals and the entrepreneurs, who were valuable contributors of the Italian design and contemporary art. Milan has also served as a platform for shooting the look book. The collection as a whole continues to draw the “blurry line” between more traditional suiting - featuring Boglioli’s soft-shouldered, unstructured shaping - and casual elegance, which is spiced with a substantial effort to offer more “avant-garde fare”, so called “Milan Bohemia” - Formal evening wear made of cashmere is combined with casual sweaters, tailored jackets in rich teal and vivid plaids are accented with pleated denim, button-up shirts are worn without ties...
Got today in the mail a catalog showcasing the collection for this fall and winter by Spanish MAN 1924, a company run and made known by Mr. Carlos Castillo and his partners. The garments by MAN 1924 combine the feeling of British elegance and Italian nonchalance and bring together classic, sartorial style with casual wear and one might say even a bit sporty touch. The pieces shown in the looks are put together in a way that shows the well balanced mix of “both worlds” and they at the same time demonstrates that these garments can be combined for many different occasions without having to think too hard. Family business since 1924 The original brand called MAN was founded in Madrid...
Taking a look to the recent takes via instagram as I’ve unfortunately been too busy to post more frequently during the last weeks. Will try to do my best to get back on track. As said before, I don't update the IG-feed on a daily basis but some sneak peeks of what I wear and what I do as well and some other things I find personally interesting can be found from there on more regular pace.
