The central thread of all Corneliani collections is the art of tailoring, which sets always the rules, even now that the technology is imposing a modernization of shapes and fabrics for the outfits of the new generations.

The sophisticated atmosphere of Litta Palace in Milan is the setting for the fashion show of the Mantova designer, Sergio Corneliani. The new collection Spring/Summer 2016 is connoted by an elegance with opposite meanings and an high level of sophistication.

The heart of the revolution starts from the body’s centre of gravity: the volumes change but the dress construction remain untouched.

We can sight the tribal echoes, in the neo-Prince of Wales patterns and in the flattened matting effects or in the trousers with outstanding pleats, and the nod of an ancient man.

A collection for a nonconformist man: Bermuda shorts and pinstripes dresses, which are supremely elegant.

Trench coats in fine materials, like silk and linen, with large pleats on the back, which fall to the calf.

Squared-off jackets, matched with large T-shirts in leather, with stripped down cuts.

The colors are delicately powdery, never intense, which suggest the atmosphere of a desert sunset: periwinkle blue of the sky, beige of the sandy and the light gray of the stone and the amaranth red of the sun.

The Corneliani man has an independent personality, he’s a free man, young, living in the world and needs a chic dress likewise comfortable to be used every day for any occasion.
