UNCONVENTIONAL FORMAL
What are the style requirements of the contemporary man? #albertoguardiani has responded to this question with a versatile and multi-functional collection for Autumn/Winter 2017. It’s a footwear wardrobe with a great personality, inspired by a very specific observation: the modern-day gentleman’s increasingly urgent need for a versatile range of accessories, which not only have an original design and unquestionable quality, but are also easy to interpret in an everyday key. The approach is spontaneous and relaxed: but this casual attitude is always balanced by the exemplary skill and know-how of the #fashion house. The result is a versatile and practical range of footwear that can be worn 24/7 and dressed up or down. All with a perfect balance of surprising #fashion details and a rich heritage of formal references. All this can clearly be seen in the careful selection of the materials: refined and classic leathers which have been given a unique and contemporary edge by the sophisticated treatments and finishes. Calf leather is worked using the brush-off technique to reveal a subtle decorative motif or washed to give it that pleasurably worn-in look, then there’s the laminated and brushed designs, in a constant study of innovative effects and cutting-edge workmanship. An alternative twist has been given by the textured leathers: from classic Saffiano calf and etched python-look detailing, right the way through to fish scale-effect flock texture and brush-off linen printed leather, the effects of the materials are the key focus of the new collection. And there’s also plenty of ‘surprises’ too, like bold, marble-effect patent leather, whimsical printed suede – like the tartan proposals – or fabrics like melange wool. All options that add an unexpected edge and bring a new range of decorative combinations to the already rich and varied portfolio of materials. The colour palette also moves along the same lines, hovering between tradition and innovation. Über- classic hues like black, natural leather and brown are alternated with more unusual shades like blue, plum and dark green. Whatever the case, the tones are never flat, but variegated colour nuances that are enhanced by a skilful fusion of craftsmanship and materials. Naturally, this trend towards versatility is also reflected in the footwear designs, starting with One, the new iconic design of the season. A perfect union of active and formal spirit, with a sartorial construction and casual look, One is not a performance shoe, it’s a design sneaker. Conceived as a formal evolution of the sports shoe, it combines the typical running shoe sole with an essential upper made of sophisticated materials, which look although they have been borrowed from the world of men’s tailoring. Curated down to the finest detail – from the technical, 3-part sole to the stitch work on the rubber-coated, calf toecap – the sole features an embossed motif with the brand’s logo; an element that is also re-proposed in metal on the elasticated strap on the upper, which also transforms the shoe into a practical slip-on.
