Berluti A/W 2014
The winds of change have been whistling through the bleachers at chez Berluti, with designer Alessandro Sartori shaking the roots of LVMH's fledgling sartorial project in a streamlined contemporary evolution. Showing the house's luxurious product in a garage may seem a tad off-brand, however a woodgrain set by hot Parisian agency Bureau Betak ensured slick, framed post-show pics and a key tie-in with their exclusive, wooden-soled derbies shaped by hand. An autumnal palette ranged through chocolate shearling to caramel wools and amethyst tweed, as Sartori crafted a wardrobe dangerously soft to touch, with sinuous and relaxed shapes eclipsing his previous efforts for their opulent wearability. The house's sturdy leathergoods made a covetable return in two-tone burnished brogues, weekender bags and a drawstring backpack.
