This comes a bit late but posting it as a reminder here as well. Today (Saturday) with #tyylit.fi we are arranging “shoe care day” (kenkäpäivä) in collaboration with Vaatturiliike Sauma and Pinkomo Store from Helsinki. So in case you happen to be in town (Helsinki), come and drop by at Sauma between 10am and 3pm. We will be there together with Niko Impiö to talk about shoes & shoe care and Niko is also giving personal guidance how to get a shine (as seen below) to your shoes in just about 15 minutes. For more details, check the post @Tyylit.fi Hope to see many of you there! And for you who can’t make it, there will be photos and reports regarding...
Yesterday I wrote shortly about the main line of Lardini for this fall and winter and today it is good to continue with their second line, named RVR which refers to the reversibility of all garments included. For this season the collection includes items of outerwear in which natural fabrics such as wool or cashmere are combined with water-repellent technical materials. The most well-played piece of this seasons collection is the classic olden jacket that morphs into a hooded parka on the technical fabric side. Another personal favorite is this double-breasted “blazer” of which the woolen side is suitable even for office use for example with flannel slacks and the army green technical fabric on the other side works for casual...
When it comes to individual brands, Italian Lardini is one of my personal favorites. The company that was 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. The collection for this particular season - featuring reversible overcoat and suits, a load of garment dyed garments and innovative play with patterns and textures - was on the top of my list as I saw it at Pitti Uomo last January. To read more my thoughts after seeing it...
For a little Thursday evening throwback an outfit from last week featuring some Casentino wool and flannel. As can be seen from the pictures, we had a real winter and snow here in Helsinki for a while, which at the moment seems to be gone again though. Casentino overcoat by Tagliatore Even though for some it might look just like a fabric gone ruined - Casentino can be considered as a classic choice for overcoat material and for the last couple of fall and winter seasons it seems many producers have been thinking that way. Here shown as a double-breasted version by Italian Tagliatore in light brown (camel) color, featuring peak lapels and patch pockets. Although the coat might be a little light...
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...
