TRUSSARDI, FROM THE CITY TO THE DESERT

06/24/2013

First catwalk test for Gaia Trussardi who yesterday presented her men’s spring-summer 2014 collection. The ambitious goal of the young designer was to bring back a sense of masculinity, the image of an elegant man who is fond of adventure. And she passed this difficult test by choosing to start again from the very essence of the brand. In fact, the journey theme is the focus of a fashion show that, in the few metres of the catwalk, takes the contemporary man from the city to the desert. There, he steals a whole palette of colours: white, beige, khaki, that become vibrant on all the fabrics used to create this varied wardrobe: leather, canvas, cotton, denim and silk. The silhouette is dry, but not constrained in slim garments, rather, the pleasure of soft shapes can be found again in the knitwear, because luxury means feeling comfortable, as Bermuda shorts and jumpsuits seem to confirm. Backpack on his shoulder and leather sandals on his feet, jewels carrying the label of the best Made-in-Italy, the Trussardi man is ready for a new adventure led by Gaia.
