Renewed in spirit (and in many other ways), this youthful brand from Cerruti is chalking up new successes for the upcoming winter season with Cerruti 1881 Blue, a collection that divides and then reunites two sides of the same coin. Two seemingly different characters take concrete form in the styles of two themes for the season.

Form and Function reinvents classic style by taking inspiration from the mood of the 1960s, in a survey of ergonomic lines and balanced three-dimensional forms. These are the central points of a pure Made in Italy design which is softened, moulded and enhanced by balancing functionality with contemporary appearance. Gentle, almost imperceptible treatments and trim that is precise and clean provide Cerruti 1880 Blue's new formal wear with a perfect balance between form and content by harmonizing appearance, substance and function. In a rainbow of distinct, immediate colours that relies on combinations of camel with ebony, natural white with bright red, and sunny orange with shamrock green.

Rogue is the alter ego that expresses the other side of a pleasantly arrogant, metropolitan dandy who is both charming and intriguing. In a word, it's a modern collection that is sufficiently international to meet the needs of people who move freely at any latitude. Bouldess energy is expressed by the up-to-date colours and advanced treatments. And of course, there is ample room for prints with a vintage flavour that creates an ironically relaxed look. The volumes of the Rogue collection are executed with great care down to the smallest detail, and the colour palette interprets the fascination of dark shades that range from prune to chocolate, indigo and deep pink (occhio di prenice).
