The Berluti 2013 Fall/Winter men's collection is an ode to the history of tailoring and men's fashions. Lead designer and creative head of Berluti Alessandro Sartori was inspired by the past and decided to infuse his collection with the reincarnations of yesteryear.
The fantastic and genealogical collection fuses snippets of different eras with cut, fabric and silhouettes. Fabulous modern homages include a decadent three-piece suit with baggy trousers, a shrunken blazer and thick tie paired with a bowler hat, a sharp double-breasted gangster-style pinstripe suit and a luxurious burgundy evening coat with a fur collar.
The looks are sleek, tailored and pay respect to the lineage of menswear. The Berluti 2013 F/W collection is a resurrection done with impeccable taste.
