The Mediterranean man’s style infused with Savile Row finesse and the Italian Sartorial elegance, that’s Gagliardi for you, Malta’s very own international menswear brand
Gagliardi’s
history starts in Malta in 1964. Since then the brand has come a long way, establishing
itself as one of the leading and most sought after menswear brands in Malta and
it is slowly leading its way into the European market, having shop in stores in
major department stores in Europe.
For their
latest collection, Autumn/Winter 2013, Gagliardi, chose to inspire themselves by
the Italian ski resort Cortina. Their man, is a man who chooses his clothes
well, makes sure he looks good every day, whether he is going to work, a casual
evening out, or to watch sports with the boys. I see Gagliardi attracting the
young ostentatious man, like the movie character “Alfie” played by Michael
Caine and Jude Law, and the elegant career oriented gentleman, which reminds me
of Humphrey Bogart in “Sabrina” wearing suits and bow ties as part of his daily
attire, and luxurious velvet dinner jackets in the evening. It’s a classic
timeless collection, which finds its roots in the tailoring masters of Savile
Row and Italy.
This time
round, the brand chose to keep some key pieces from previous collections, like
the Gagliardi quilted jacket in Alcantra leather, whilst introducing new ones, which
include the wax coated cotton washed jacket and the interesting introduction to
cable knitwear, whilst making sure that comfort and style are well intact.
Its a collection
which includes details such as elbow patches, patch pockets, and the new colours of Bordeaux, purple, winter white,
warm mustard, rusty orange, forest green, smoky grey and icy blue.
Denimjackets, and wool jackets, washed cord, polo shirts, checked shirts and
knitwear. They introduced a combination of cotton and cashmere and a range of
shirts for the casual man to the business man, in different colours, prints and
patterns. Having also the “Non-Iron” shirt, aiming to attract the urban, busy
and metropolitan man.
Tailored business
suits have now become one of their carry on classic pieces, and this season
lovely addition was the three-piece suit which styled with a tie-pin shirt
collar, a bow-tie and a double cuff shirt, and my favourite printed velvet, paisley and silk party jackets will get you ready for any kind of black tie event.
Lastly,
their accessories range includes beautiful printed pocket squares in silk and
wool, classic, fashion and bow ties and signature Gagliardi cufflinks. The footwear is the right number of shoes which are essential in every man's wardrobe; black and brown Derbies, brogues, loafers and other models which come in a
range of leather and even coloured suede.
