N°21: Designer Alessandro Dell’Acqua looked to the ocean and surfing culture for inspiration this season, in a light and airy collection that was perfect for summer. Pyjama style shirts and trousers were printed with blown up blooms reminiscent of Hawaiian flora, while pictures of rolling waves and surfers on their boards where graphically placed on crisp white shirts and baggy bermudas. Thick sole sneakers and pool shoes completed the look.

Neil Barrett: Completing his trilogy of collections inspired by his youth, Neil Barrett looked to the minimalism of the mid-1990s. The focus was the modern man’s wardrobe, reimagined in its purist form. A denim-style jacket appeared devoid of detail and in lightweight nylon, while a generously cut tailored jacket was teamed with narrow cropped trousers in linen to create an all-white uniform. The brand’s new headquarters with its bold angular shapes and expanses of concrete, inspired by the work of artist Donald Judd, served as the perfect modernist backdrop.

Church’s: Stepping out at Church’s this season is the new ’Barnby’, a deconstructed derby made of the softest leather, making it fully flexible. Another style making its debut is the ’Fisherman’, a women’s sandal that has now been given a men’s makeover. The classic ’Pembrey’ penny loafer gets an update in multicoloured suede and is available for the first time on a ’see now, buy now’ basis.

Edhèn Milano: Designers Filippo Fiora and Filippo Cirulli continued to put their own youthful spin on classic Italian footwear. A series of brightly coloured slippers came with playful motifs emblazoned on the front, while a two buckle monk shoe came in heavy duty canvas, with its strap decorated in flat sliver studs. Elsewhere, satin added a decadent touch to a backless loafer.

Kiton: Neapolitan tailoring masters Kiton continued to push the possibilities of fabric development with the launch of their ’Summer Vicuña’ collection. Handcrafted in the brands Naples factory, the suits are made from a unique 97% Vicuña and 3% silk fabric making them extremely light and luxurious.

Myar: After several seasons of successfully taking vintage military garments and customising them using artisanal techniques, Andrea Rosso’s debut collection featured dead stock camouflage fabrics from different countries, reworked into a series of tailored pieces inspired by combat wear. Highlights included an oversized, square cut field jacket and a trench coat with rounded pockets. A new footwear collection with Superga provided high and low-top sneakers.
