The new Ermenegildo Zegna x Fear of God collection
Alessandro Sartori and Jerry Lorenzo rewrite together the canons of elegance
March 2nd, 2020
Today the collaborative collection "Fear of God exclusively for Ermenegildo Zegna" designed by Alessandro Sartori and Jerry Lorenzo made its debut in Paris, at the Hotel de Coulanges. The combination of two very different realities has created a hybrid between the impeccable tailoring and the fine materials of Ermenegildo Zegna and the soft and essential fit of Fear of God. If in the last weeks of fashion we have seen a more relaxed and lively model of men's tailoring, with the collaboration between Sartori and Lorenzo this fusion of traditional elegance and leisurewear finds one of its purest expressions, interpretable both for the men's wardrobe and women's wardrobes. The collection will be made available from next September at the boutiques of Ermenegildo Zegna and other selected retailers and online.
The collaborative collection is focused on a neutral color palette. All the main elements of the men's wardrobe, from the suit to the coats to the formal shoes, have been reread in the light of a luxury devoid of any rigidity. The jackets of the suits are simplified: they lose the lapels and have pockets repositioned on the hips for more linear silhouettes. Ermenegildo Zegna's logo, written in the font of Fear of God, appears embossed on the backs of bomber jackets and jackets as leisurewear elements infiltrate the sartorial codes with joggers-like formal trousers that have a cummerbund band at the waist. Here is the comment of Jerry Lorenzo at the presentation:
“I design menswear, always keeping women in mind: I love the way they wear men's clothes. And I have always been attracted to the clothes of Ermenegildo Zegna: I believe that this project will give the opportunity to my clients to experience a sartoriality 'stitched' with freedom, that even the public of Zegna will be able to enjoy”.
The "Fear of God exclusively for Ermenegildo Zegna" collection will be available from next September at Zegna boutiques and other selected retailers and online on the brand's online shop. Stay with nss magazine for all updates on upcoming releases.
