In ZZEGNA Lab the key word is experimental. The spring summer collection is a realisation of this creative investigation. A visionary short circuit turns intuition into contemporary outfits of sophisticated sartorial skills: compact and impalpable fabrics are attuned balancing concreteness and lightness.
The earth and its primordial matter inspires a colour palette of mineral shades; chalky white, gravel or slate grey, basalt black and an intense brick shade recalling cretan vases. Workmanship is as incisive as it is tactile. Laser-etched patterns or corded and pin-tucked seaming fuse technology with tailoring. Quality and innovation are key words for fabrics, with macro and micro digital prints. Cotton prevails, often mixed with contrasting thicknesses from sturdy canvas to super light gauze, either natural or water-repellent, mixed with washed linen, ultra soft silk and a rarefied oxford mohair.
The silhouette is fluid and natural, always fresh. Three-button, long or double-breasted jackets, with patch pockets, are teamed with slim trousers or jeans - worn short on the ankle with sandals or no-lace derbies. The outfits confirm the value of the outdoor experience: jackets with coulisse, short trench coats, pea coats, parkas and bomber jackets. Leather is like a second skin: super fine and in different shades of naturally dyed tones. Knitwear is made of futuristic materials, like paper, mono-filament nylon and high-tech stitches with bi-colour effects.
The mix between past and present is expressed in layering. The extraordinary technological excellence of textiles developed by Zegna, renders a super light double layered fabric, with a thin cotton gauze veil stratified on a printed fabric, creating a three dimensional effect exclusively for the icon of the season the Three-D-Jacket .
Shoes without laces and coloured leather sandals, are coordinated with hand-stitched belts, some with no buckles. Travel and utility shoulder bags, are presented in canvas, suede and nubuck. This follows the experimental and reflective character of this collection.
The authenticity of the past intertwined with the present creates a provocation that can be called future. Alessandro Sartori: Creative Director Z Zegna
