This season's colletion is inspired by the work of German portrait and documentary photographer August Sander (1876-1964). His famous book 'Face of our time' (1929) is a series of severe portraits. Stories of different lives, expressed in gestures and looks, where clothing tells about the people who wear them as a daily uniform. And Daniele Alessandrini's current collection is full of precise lines, almost strict in the garments' structure, regulate style amid shapes and juxtapositions. Volumes are often complementary, loose on coats with A-style constructions and pants which leave space to the fabrics' natural movements framing the legs' line with sharp edge pockets, and tight-fitting on tops which follow the body's lines. The outerwear is featured in wool mixed to steel and cotton or paper wool, with a worn-out touch conveying the idea of a used garment with a story to tell. Inside and outside, tailoring and designs interchange allowing the lining to enrich jackets with shadings and graphics. Stylish details are set in pockets outlined by flaps or trimmed, double layered lapels highlighted by steel zippers or not trimmed like cuffs. Shirts feature French-style collars, narrow and spotless or mutable, halfway between tuxedo sashes or double layered mandarin collars. Must-have accessories are black nappa pleated ankle boots.
