Fashion Outfit Post 6 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the first fashion story in a series of posts from Ireland on the Mr.M blog. January and February will be dedicated to this unusual country in the heart of Western Europe, a country known for its greenest landscapes, St. Patrick’s Day, music, the famous Irish whiskey, but also for its extremely high quality wool. At the very beginning of today’s fashion story about Bonner of Ireland, an Irish knitwear brand, I would like to thank the Enterprise Ireland team for the warm invitation to the 50th anniversary of the three-day Irish trade show Showcase Ireland and for making the collaboration with Irish fashion brands that you will have opportunities to see in fashion stories from Ireland.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Black Tie Chauffeur, a Dublin company that provides exclusive luxury chauffeured passenger services. This company enabled me to visit the Cliffs of Moher, which are among the most beautiful and impressive natural sights in Ireland. There will be a special travelogue about the Cliffs of Moher where you will get to know the localities in more detail, as well as the service of a private driver with whom you can quickly and with a high level of comfort and convenience enjoy the natural sights of Ireland.

With the selfless help of all the mentioned partners, fashion stories and travelogues from Ireland were created, which you will have the opportunity to read this January and February, and I sincerely hope that you will enjoy the new adventure. Today I will introduce two Irish brands that caught my attention during the Showcase Ireland trade show – Bonner of Ireland and George Horn.

If by any chance you missed reading the previous travelogue post about Showcase Ireland or you want to remind yourself of some interesting things, take the opportunity to visit the following LINK.

Bonner of Ireland is a family fashion company dedicated to using traditional crafts to produce quality knitwear from the finest yarns. Their team believes in sustainable design and innovation to provide a product and service that meets and exceeds customer needs. A person wearing a Bonner product will gain a sense of the heritage, tradition and ideals of Donegal in Ireland.

To wear a Bonner creation is to wrap yourself in the essence of Ireland, to carry the deep-rooted traditions of Donegal close to your heart. In every thread, a piece of history; in every weaving of stories. Bonner of Ireland sources its wool from local artisan wool producers: Donegal Yarns. They manage the complete vertical production process from raw wool, through dyeing, mixing, carding and spinning to the finished multi-coloured colored yarn for the weaving, knitting and craft industries. All products are made in Ireland and production takes place at their woollen mill in Kilcar, Ireland.

I believe many of you are wondering how Bonner of Ireland wool is actually made? This famous Irish knitwear brand gets its wool from a variety of sources as each type of wool has a special character that will help when making Bonner of Ireland clothing for women and men. One of the most important wool suppliers is the local artisan wool manufacturer Donegal Yarns. The Bonner of Ireland team have been kind enough to share with me the in-depth story of how their wool is made and I’ll do my best to bring that processing to you.

Donegal Yarns was founded in the 1970s by ‘Gaeltarra’ when they built a spinning mill in Kilcar supplying tweed effect yarns to the international and local craft industries. Some time later, the company was renamed Donegal Tarns in 2008 to reflect their unique flecked/nepp effect yarn.

They manage the complete vertical production process from raw wool, through dyeing, mixing, carding and spinning to the finished multi-coloured colored yarn for the weaving, knitting and product making industries. All products are made in Ireland and production takes place at their woollen mill in Kilcar.

The wool making process begins with wool sorting at Donegal Yarns, where wool sorting experts meticulously organize and process wool from the local area which has been thoroughly cleaned and well scoured. The next process is dyeing the wool, where the manager of the dyeing department creates different recipes creating a unique palette of colors. The team finds inspiration in Irish culture and tradition, where the most commonly used colors are brown and red raised bogs and green hedgerows and rich forests.

The process that follows is the blending process, that is, the mixing process where the colors are evenly mixed to ensure consistent shading in the color match. This is crucial when combining different fibers such as merino wool with cashmere or merino wool with mohair.

After that, the mixtures are subjected to carding, a new process or method that involves passing them through fine metal teeth. The wool’s inherent crease is straightened during carding, aligning the fibers for the spinning process.

The most important thing that comes next is yarn spinning, better known as the Post-carding process, the roving goes through spinning, where the fibers are elongated and twisted to a certain degree, creating a yarn. For some types of yarn, multiple strands of individual yarns can be interlaced to achieve a desired weight suitable for different uses.

The yarn is wound into buckets as a preparatory step for scouring and cleaning the wool. In the scouring process, the yarn is fed into the machine and continuously moves through multiple baths. The first two baths are filled with cleaning detergent, followed by rinsing in the last two baths before the yarn is hung to dry.

After the spinning or twisting process is completed, the yarn is either packed into cones or formed into balls or skeins, based on the customer’s order. After that, they are prepared for storage in the warehouse and possible shipment.

I have tried to briefly explain to you the history of weaving and creation of wool. I will do my best to introduce you to the rich heritage of Donegal tweed at Bonner of Ireland. The craft, which dates back to the 1800s, was revived with the introduction of spinning wheels and linen looms by the Royal Ulster Linen Manufacturers. In the late 19th century, Donegal tweed gained international recognition, known for its unique patterns and textures.

In the misty expanses of Donegal, where stories are spun as fine as wool, the craft of tweed-making whispers a tale as old as the hills of Ireland themselves. Since the dawn of the 1800s, in the cozy cottages that dot the southwest of this rugged land, skilled and hardworking hands have spun, woven and woven the essence of Donegal into every thread. Here, where the wild Atlantic touches the shore, a mixture of native and foreign wools would come to life under the skillful touch of these artisans.

The wool, dyed in hues rich in Irish folklore, would be spun into threads of destiny, some finding their way into warm garments and others into the hands of local weavers, destined to become the famous Donegal tweed. This tweed, a fabric of survival and beauty, clothed the local population and traveled further afield, carrying with it the spirit of Donegal. And so it was, until the twilight of the eighteenth century when the Royal Ulster Clothiers breathed new life into this age-old craft, bringing linen spinners and looms to Donegal homes, heralding the dawn of the nineteenth-century native tweed industry.

However, it was not until the 1880s that Donegal tweed would find its modern voice, through the vision of Mrs. Alice Rowland Hart, an English philanthropist with a heart as big as the sea. In 1883, she saw the rugged beauty of Donegal and the deep poverty of the people who lived there. Touched, she appealed for public generosity, but her vision progressed – to revive local cottage industries, especially tweed weaving.

Thus was born the Donegal Industrial Trust, a beacon of hope and craft. By 1884, Donegal tweed graced the London International Health Exhibition, a triumph that led Hart to set up shop in London. Working closely with local weavers, Hart wove new designs into Donegal tweed fabric, experimenting with colors from Ireland’s own flora, earning accolades and honours. Her vision spread in 1885, reaching out to Irish women, inviting them to participate in the revival of embroidery, which led to the birth of the Kells Embroidery Schools. Here, the ancient art of Irish and Eastern design flourished once again on canvas, a testament to Ireland’s timeless craftsmanship.

After learning all this information, it was a pleasure for me to present this particular brand to you on the Mr.M blog. My outfit today is decorated with a sweater from the special Bonner of Ireland collection. Meticulously crafted from the finest Donegal wool, this classic style celebrates the rugged beauty and vibrant colors of Irish tradition and culture in the surroundings of South West Donegal. This sweater keeps you warm and cozy, making it an ideal choice for layering or as a stand-alone piece. I enjoyed the luxurious softness and warmth of the 100% fine wool that comes from Donegal Yarns.

OUTFIT

Shearling Coat: Brunello Cucinelli

Sweater: Bonner of Ireland

Trousers: Brunello Cucinelli

Gloves: George Horn

Shoes: Dolce & Gabbana

The next Irish brand that I want to introduce to you is one of the representatives of luxury Irish leather goods with a long tradition and rich history – George Horn. As a big fan of luxury and high-quality leather goods, at Showcase Ireland I had the honor of meeting Mr. Gerard Horn, manager of the George Horn brand that produces luxury leather gloves.

George Horn is a third generation glove maker based in Dublin. Founded by George in the 1940s and continued by his son Brian, the company is now run by Brian and his son Gerard. With a passion for quality, authenticity and respect for their craft and artistry, George Horn produce the finest hand-stitched gloves available on the Irish market.

After 77 years of craft, expertise, excitement, many successes and failures, and the hard work of 3 generations of one family, the continuation of George Horn not only sees the survival of the last master glove maker in Ireland, but also heralds a new era of those learning the trade. George Horn is also engaged in the training and education of leather artisans and glove makers to ensure that these age-old skills are preserved in a sustainable and sustainable way.

What is the story of this family brand? During the 1960s, the George Horn Company prospered and gained a reputation for the highest quality gloves. Sales reached across the globe from Japan to the US and included household names such as Harrods and Christian Dior. George Horn gloves have enjoyed a reputation at Bloomingdales, Saks of Fifth Avenue and Roots in New York for the highest standard of materials and quality in the manufacture of gloves from motorcycle gloves to Irish Army service gloves and other models. Mr. George expanded the Ashtown factory and the company’s success seemed boundless.

A little later, in 1972, a fire destroyed the Ashtown premises, destroying much of the old machinery. Unable to obtain spare machines that he felt were up to the appropriate standards, George ceased making gloves. Business continued as the Castleknock Glove Company produced industrial gloves, specialty gloves and small series such as gloves for Irish Army officers, and also began supplying leather to the craft market. George’s son, Brian, became involved in the company in the 1960s, initially selling in Ireland and then around the world, then learning the trade of a master glove maker from his father. To this day, it is Brian who cuts the gloves and oversees the sewing and finishing of all George Horn gloves.

After a fire in 1972, the company moved to Prussia Street, trading as The Castleknock Glove Company, but the collapse of Irish manufacturing and the era of mass importation saw the business close in 2003. A switch to supplying leather and tools began and Brian kept his glove manufacturing on a small scale to order for the next 15 years.

After the closure of the glove manufacturer in the UK, Brian secured old machinery, knives and equipment to match that originally lost in the 1972 fire. While some would argue that modern machines can do the job, for Brian it just wasn’t right and finding the right equipment provided the impetus and motivation to begin a two-year process of testing, tuning and refining until 2020, the year that marked the turning point and of the beautiful moment of the rebirth of the George Horn glove brand.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see the masterpiece of the George Horn brand, men’s hand-stitched gloves made of Peccary’s leather and lined with pure cashmere. Experience the height of luxury with these George Horn handmade leather peccary gloves. Peccary, the world’s most exclusive glove leather, is prized for its unparalleled softness, durability and natural grain. These gloves are a testament to the skill and expertise of George Horn’s skilled cutters and makers, demanding the highest level of craftsmanship in every detail.

Completely hand-stitched, these gloves exude elegance and refinement. “Greek Dots” – slightly raised, meticulously stitched lines on the back – add a prominent and textured finish, fusing tradition with unique craftsmanship. Inside, the gloves are lined with 100% pure cashmere, providing unparalleled warmth and a soft feel against the skin. These gloves are designed to complement any outfit while providing exceptional comfort while embodying timeless sophistication and elegance.

Fashion pieces from the Brunello Cucinelli collection are made so that they can last for seasons and years with the guarantee that you can leave something of exceptional quality to your descendants with a timeless cut that will always be fashionable. Each manufactured piece is designed so that it does not follow blind trends, but on the contrary remains its own and consistent with the style of timeless elegance and refinement. Brunello Cucinelli is a brand that cherishes the values of “quiet luxury”, that’s why you’ll never see an aggressive brand logo on their clothes, leather goods or other fashion accessories, but the design and material will tell the story for themselves.

Brunello Cucinelli is an Italian luxury fashion brand that sells menswear, womenswear and accessories in Europe, North America and East Asia. The company was founded by Mr. Brunello Cucinelli in 1978. Mr. Cucinelli started his fashion house in 1978 specializing in Mongolian cashmere clothing for women. Today, the company owns 94 of the 124 stores worldwide. A few years ago, more precisely in January 2017, the company launched its online web store.

Mr. Cucinelli controls and manages the brand through Fedone Srl. Cucinelli’s family fund owns 57% of the company’s shares, and has also set up a special fund for the benefit of his daughters, Camilla and Carolina, to guarantee the proper handover of his eponymous company. This is an inspiring fashion story about a family.

An impressive fact is that the company headquarters is located in a 14th-century castle on top of a hill in the middle of Umbria, an area known as the “green heart” of Italy. Brunello Cucinelli donates 20% of profits to its charitable foundation and pays workers wages that are 20% higher than the fashion industry average. Also interesting information is that the employees of the company have extremely flexible working hours and that e-mails are not allowed after working hours. This is one of the few fashion houses that have such good working conditions, which is commendable in today’s age of classical capitalism.

My outfit today is adorned with two pieces of clothing from the latest Brunello Cucinelli FW 2024/25 collection, this fantastic shearling coat and trousers, which are made of the finest wool. Shearling coat as an indispensable piece of every winter season, this warm coat which is made of the finest alpine goat fur, due to its taupe neutral colour won my heart this winter season. When I got the invitation for this trip to Ireland, I knew immediately that I would bring this fashion piece with me to keep me warm on the windy cliffs of Ireland and I have to admit that I was very comfortable in it considering the low temperatures and high winds on the Cliffs of Moher. Another piece that delighted me this season is the brown trousers made of the finest wool, which went perfectly with my winter outfits this season.

Yohji Yamamoto: A Brand That Challenges Convention With Its Avant-Garde Spirit

Fashion Outfit Post 7 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to another fashion story on the Mr.M blog in the new year 2025! I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. Today I’m going to introduce you to a new friend of the Mr.M blog, an unusual luxury Japanese brand that I’m sure you’ve heard of by now if you love the world of fashion, but didn’t know that it’s an extraordinary fashion brand that challenges conventional style with its with an unusual avant-garde spirit – Yohji Yamamoto.

Yohji Yamamoto is one of the most famous Japanese fashion designers with the headquarters of his namesake brand in Tokyo and Paris. Considered a master tailor alongside the likes of Madeleine Vionnet, he is known for his avant-garde tailoring style with a Japanese design aesthetic. Mr. Yamamoto has won notable awards for his contributions to fashion, including Chevalier/Officier/Commandeur Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, Medal of Honour with Purple Ribbon, Ordre National du Merite, Royal Designer for Industry and Master of Design Award from Fashion Group International.

Born in Tokyo, Mr. Yamamoto graduated from Keio University with a law degree in 1966, but gave up his future legal career to help his mother in her tailoring business, where he learned his tailoring skills. He focused his further education in the world of fashion, completing his fashion design studies at Bunka Fashion College in 1969.

Yohji Yamamoto made his debut in Tokyo in 1977, followed by two more important shows: debuts in Paris in 1981 and New York in 1982. His first collection under the brand label Y’s, focused on a collection for women that reflects typical menswear, with clothes cut in simple shapes with washed fabrics and dark colors.

In an interview with The New York Times in 1983, Mr. Yamamoto described his designs in these words: “I think my menswear looks just as good on women as my womenswear. When I started designing, I wanted to make menswear for women. ” He recently gave further explanation in a new interview where he reflected on the Y’s brand: “When I started making clothes for my Y’s line in 1977, all I wanted was for women to wear men’s clothing. I thought of the idea of ​​a coat that protects and hides a woman’s body, I wanted to protect a woman’s body from something – maybe from men’s eyes or the cold wind.”

His main fashion line, Yohji Yamamoto (men’s and women’s line) and Y’s line for women, are especially appreciated in Tokyo. These two lines are also available in its flagship stores in Paris and Antwerp, as well as in high-end department stores. Other major lines include high-fashion brand Pour Homme, Costume d’Homme and a soon-to-be-available diffusion line.

Yamamoto is known for an avant-garde spirit in his pieces, often creating designs far from current trends. His signature oversized silhouettes often feature drapery in a variety of textures. Yohji Yamamoto’s collections are predominantly made in black, a color Mr. Yamamoto described as “modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious. But above all, the black color says: “I don’t bother you – don’t bother me”.

Unfortunately, bad decisions by management’s finance departments led the brand to more than US$65 million in debt in 2009, which angered Mr. Yamamoto and led to a restructuring of the company in 2009-2010. Private equity firm Integral Corp was identified as the Japanese company that restructured the Yohji Yamamoto brand and at the end of November 2010 the company was debt free.

Since his debut in Paris in 1981, Yohji Yamamoto has continued to spread his cutting-edge influence through fashion. Now he has made the most important step into the wider creative field with the introduction of a new conceptual chapter called WILDSIDE Yohji Yamamoto.

What is interesting to mention is that in 2008, the Yohji Yamamoto Peace Fund was established to encourage the development of the Chinese fashion industry and to help heal the long-standing hostility between China and Japan. Each year, a rising young Chinese designer will be awarded a two-year scholarship to a fashion college in Japan or Europe, and a male or female Chinese model will be selected to debut on the runway during the pret-a-porter season in Paris. .

Mr. Yamamoto once said on the occasion of the establishment of the Fund for Peace: “I believe that there are a certain number of angry young people.” Since there are always a large number of fashion designers and artists, they must be angry.” After which he staged a special fashion show in Beijing in the spring of 2008 to launch this initiative. Mr. Yamamoto believes that everyone should be happy and that the task of real art is to make people happy, but also to ask some specific questions about society that will try to solve some key problems.

Yamamoto’s design is reminiscent of Japanese drawing techniques. His technique consists of wide cuts, often oversized, exotic and luxurious materials and complex handicrafts. The designer strives to make his pieces from the back, not the front. Mr. Yamamoto personally prefers dark colors.

In today’s fashion story, I have the honor and pleasure to present to you an unusual piece from the Yohji Yamamoto FW24 collection, which are trousers with an unusual oversized cut in a beautiful beige color. They may not look warm at first glance, but trust me you’ll be surprised because these pants are made of a combination of wool and cashmere.

There is no person in the world who cannot hide the joy when you feel the smell of the new Italian leather. Today, we are once again hanging out with the Italian family workshop for handmade Restelli gloves, a place where the art, tradition and beauty of handicrafts meet every day, which is the true definition of the Italian style and way of life in general.

Making gloves is not only a job but also a real art. Passion, emotions, tradition and knowledge have been passed on to the third generation after 100 years! Raffaella Restelli has fully accepted the challenges of the new fashion era in which the market and the way of selling have changed with deep respect and belief in tradition and a love for lasting masterpieces!

In today’s post, you had the opportunity to see Restelli gloves made of special peccary leather. These luxury leather gloves are made of the highest quality leather. The lining of these gloves is made of cashmere.

Restelli gloves are not valued with money, but with tradition and history full of love and patience that are priceless.

We end today’s fashion adventure with old well-known friends of the Mr.M blog – Fratelli Rossetti. This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognises for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time! You had the chance to see their most famous model, the Brera, in my Jordan fashion stories as well as in many other fashion stories on the Mr.M blog over the past years.

What is the story of this brand? In the middle of the 20th century, more precisely in 1945, Mr. Renzo Rossetti started his story from scratch, where he worked alone to cut leather for several types of sports shoes. His shoes were sold at the famous Brigatti store in Milan, one of the few remaining stores of its kind in the city. After a few years, Fratelli Rossetti saw success, but, wanting to develop further, they transferred the brands and equipment for this special production to Atala Sport in Padua.

So they decided to start their story again from the beginning and decided to switch to the production of classic shoes. Those were the years between 1952 and 1957, which witnessed the orientation and acquisition of new skills in the creation of women’s ballet flats and elegant, simple men’s footwear characterized by extremely flexible and high-quality workmanship. All this led to the creation of a small collection of men’s shoes with contours that differed from the various styles sold at the time. Renzo Rossetti consequently engaged in work that demonstrated his aesthetic sense and artistic perfectionism.

The story of the Fratelli Rossetti company is an inspiring story of a successful Italian family business that opened its doors in 1953. This is not just an ordinary company story, but a family story: the founder, Renzo Rossetti, and his wife, Lisetta, were dedicated to their work all their lives. The Fratelli Rossetti company is currently run by the second generation of the Rossetti family, the brothers Diego, Dario and Luca, who, due to their different roles and by developing their own different skills, have successfully brought their company to its 60th anniversary, always in search of quality and united by their passion with strict respect for tradition.

Fratelli Rossetti has a long tradition of “big little innovations”. In this company, tradition and quality have always gone hand in hand with insatiable curiosity and commitment to innovation. From the introduction of tassels and the invention of shoes designed to be worn without socks, to stylistic innovations and the launch of the “masculine” style, to the application of colors in unique chromatic shades. It was Renzo Rossetti who emphasized the importance of embracing new materials, styles and shapes: as early as the 60s, he was already experimenting with different color combinations on leather. Today, the company continues its research and development activities thanks to the knowledge of its craftsmen and the creative spirit of the styling department.

Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic lines that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht, La Giusta.

In previous stories you had the opportunity to enjoy the Brera models, but this season I decided to show you the other side of the Fratelli Rossetti brand – the new face of sporty elegance.

In today’s fashion story, I want to present to you the dynamic and metropolitan look of Fratelli Rossetti sneakers from the latest Fall-Winter 2024 collection, which are made of soft leather combined with suede. Of course, there is also an insole that can be removed and ventilated. The cupsole features the brand’s logo on the side and is made of flexible, lightweight rubber with a custom tread that lets you feel like you’re walking on clouds.

This model of sneakers exists in several variations, mine are beige – drab (on the website, the color is described as dove gray, but the color is more beige – drab in live), while two shades of brown are offered: marrone scuro and dark brown. Of course, there are also sneakers in the indispensable classic black color. In addition to this sneaker model, the Fratelli Rossetti brand offers several other sneaker models, so I am convinced that if you are looking for quality and well-designed sneakers, you can find them in the Fratelli Rossetti collection this season.

If you want to stay freshly updated and find out which models of shoes and leather goods the Fratelli Rossetti brand has in its offer, visit their official online store and follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Berluti: French Synonym for Refined Style, Elegance and Incomparable Craftsmanship

Fashion Outfit Post 6 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to another fashion story on the Mr.M blog in the new year 2025! I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. At the very beginning of this post, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on the New Year and Christmas holidays. I wish you all the best in 2025, primarily good health and perhaps most of all what we need in life – a little luck and may all your wishes come true, the small ones as well as the bigger ones! Today I’m going to introduce you to a new friend of the Mr.M blog, an unusual luxury French brand that I’m sure you’ve had a chance to hear about by now if you love the world of fashion – Berluti.

Berluti is a well-known French fashion house founded in 1895 by the Italian maestro Alessandro Berluti, which produces men’s shoes, leather goods, and men’s clothing. Today, Berluti is owned by the LVMH group.

How was the Berluti fashion empire created? Mr. Alessandro Berluti was born in 1865 in Senigalia, a village on the Adriatic Sea. There he learned the trade of a carpenter from a local craftsman. He also acquired knowledge in the field of leather. Alessandro Berluti left Italy at the age of 19 and went to France. He first spent several years on the road with a troupe of actors for whom he made stage shoes. He settled in Paris in 1895, as a shoemaker. The Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris was a turning point in his career and a special opportunity for Mr. Berluti to expand his clientele and conquer some new markets. He created models for several prominent personalities of the time, some of them were: Isadora Duncan, Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden.

After the First World War, the Berluti Oxford shoe model was offered to all lovers of luxury footwear. This model was made from one piece of leather, and the seams were invisible thanks to the three-eye method. These shoes were polished, which gave them a shimmering color, like a mirror. The Duke of Windsor was one of the loyal customers of Berluti shoes. This fashion story was continued by his son Torello, who succeeded him in 1928. He opened the first boutique workshop at Rue du Mont-Thabor 2 under the name “Berluti, luxury shoemakers”. As the boutique eventually became too small, it was moved to 26 rue Marbeuf during World War II. The Berluti brand created the uniforms for the French Olympic and Paralympic team for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics.

In 1959, Talbinio Berluti launched “luxury ready-to-wear shoes”, offering lower prices. With this, he expanded Berluti’s clientele. He was joined by Olga Berluti, née Squeri, who would learn the shoemaking trade with him after completing her apprenticeship in the workshop. During the 1960s, Berluti sold abroad and counted Warhol, François Truffaut and Yves Saint Laurent among his clients.

A little later, in 1970, Olga succeeded Talbini at the head of Berluti and was Berluti’s artistic director from 1961 to 2011. She supported the modernization of the house and its growth. The turning point in the work of this brand was in 1993, when the Berluti brand was bought by the LVMH-Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton group. In the early 2000s, against the background of a simmering conflict between the Gucci group and LVMH, the Italian brand Gucci copied two of Berluti’s flagship models, each creation of which was registered: the sanctions for the “act of counterfeiting” were severe, and Berluti refused to make a compromise.

Olga will continue to take over the artistic direction of Berluti until September 2011. Berluti’s international development is progressing: the brand has more than thirty boutiques in major world capitals. Received the title of Chevalier de la Legion d’honneur from Bernard Arnault, by decree of December 31, 2012.

Starting from July 2011, Mr. Alessandro Sartori, who developed his skills at Ermenegildo Zegna, takes over the position of artistic director of Berluti. Diversification in clothing production began in January 2012. Alessandro Sartori presents the first collection of 400 pieces. In the meantime, the executive director was changed and Mr. Antoine Arnault was appointed in 2012. LVMH’s purchase of Parisian tailor Arnys in mid-2012 allows for a line of bespoke suits called “Berluti by Arnys”, an acquisition that was followed a few months later by that of Anthony Delos.

In September 2016, Haider Ackermann was appointed artistic director until April 2018, when he was replaced by Chris Van Asche.

The company’s communication is based on leather (specifically Venezia leather) and its fit. Bespoke or ready-made, Berluti shoes are presented “raw” and then coated with a specific patina similar to Japanese lacquer. This patina consists of essential oils, shoe polish and water. Berluti’s advertisement says that each custom shoe requires 250 operations performed in their workshop and nine months of creation.

From the 1960s onwards, Olga Berluti proposed leather as an extension of the line. In the 1990s, she decorated her creations with scarification, piercings and various forms of tattoos.

The fame of the Berluti brand is built around Olga Berluti and her high-profile clients: Andy Warhol, the Duke of Windsor, Jean Cocteau, Jules Brinner, Marcel Achard and Claude Francois are among the famous clients. The Berluti brand is also present in the cinema. Olga was nominated for Caesars several times. She won Best Costume for Arthur Joffe’s Harem in 1986. A few years later, in 1995, she won the David di Donatello Award for the film Farinelli. A pair of Berluti boots from the 1990s was cited in the Dumas affair, a scandal involving former minister Roland Dumas.

The Berluti brand is also known for its marketing event, the “Swann” club, named after Marcel Proust’s dandy. Once a year, it offers its loyal customers group “skating”. Its members met for the first time in 1992 at the Hotel de Crillon.

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see an interesting piece from the latest autumn-winter Berluti collection for 2024/25, which is a cashmere jacket in a beautiful honey color. The cashmere camel jacket is a classic cut with brown leather details and is a must-have for every style-conscious man. The jacket is made of the finest cashmere and is filled with down. What I can say after trying on several outfits, this jacket definitely gives every outfit a special elegant and understated touch, which will definitely make you stand out wherever you go.

We continue today’s fashion story in Italy with another new friend of the Mr.M blog, a visionary fashion brand that proves that age doesn’t matter! BoB Company is a menswear brand born in Prato, the heart of Tuscany.

The BoB brand was created by designers who did not want to be satisfied with men’s fashion dictates, but wanted their customers to explore real masculine elegance worthy of dreams. The philosophy of the BoB Company brand is quite direct and simple: clothes for men who like to stand out, to be different, original and maybe sometimes a little unpredictable, but who did not want to hide under a mask. Imagine how boring a white polo shirt is when you can add an original and discreet touch to it: embroidered flowers, colorful stitching or a touch of color. This is a brand that changed the rules of the game in the fashion world!

Men who have chosen BoB creations are ready to adopt a new state of mind whose thinking is a little outside the mold or box, a little artistic, possessing a new idea of ​​independence and freedom. Polo shirts with unusual bright motifs, jackets with hand-embroidered details or sweaters in bold colors are produced with joy and happiness by the BoB team in the heart of Tuscany in the cradle of fashion – Italy.

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see a sweater from the latest Autumn – Winter BoB collection, which, in addition to the interesting work of the braids, has another addition, a material similar to the lining of the jacket that allows you to feel extra warm, so you can also wear some lighter jackets due to the exceptional thermal insulation in the form support on the back. Apart from being an unusual fashion piece, it is also extremely practical. The color is beautiful and easy to blend, so it can be worn with all current winter colors.

ZEGNA: Balancing Traditional Luxury Tailoring and Fashion Innovations

Fashion Outfit Post 3 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the first fashion story on the Mr.M blog in 2025! I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. At the very beginning of this post, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on the New Year and Christmas holidays. I wish you all the best in 2025, primarily good health and perhaps most of all what we need in life – a little luck and may all your wishes come true, the small ones as well as the bigger ones! Today we will continue the story of an unusual Italian fashion brand that we had the opportunity to meet in previous seasons on the Mr.M blog – ZEGNA (Ermenegildo Zegna).

Ermenegildo Zegna, also known as Zegna or Ermenegildo Zegna Group is an Italian luxury fashion house. It was founded in 1910 in Triver, Biella, in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. This luxury Italian brand was almost launched under the full brand name of Ermenegildo Zegna, but in 2021 a rebranding was done and the brand name was shortened and today the name ZEGNA is officially used.

How did this exceptional Italian brand come about? Before founding the company, founder Ermenegildo Zegna’s father, Mr. Angelo, a former watchmaker, owned a woolen mill and looms in the Piedmont Alps, Italy. Ermenegildo, together with his brothers Edoardo and Mario, founded the company in 1910 in Triver in the Biellese Alps when he was only 18 years old, using his father’s looms and family property. A few years later, in 1915 to be precise, the company was renamed Fratelli Zegna di Angelo.

Zegna’s vision was to create high-quality fabrics, so he began to source wool directly from several countries around the world, such as Mongolia, Australia, South Africa, in addition to buying modern machines from England that enabled quality fabric production. During the interwar period, Zegna’s business began to flourish. In the late 1920s, the Lanificio (wool mill) employed more than 700 workers, which number grew to more than 1,000 in the late 1930s.

Not long after, in 1938, the company began exporting fabrics to the USA, through its subsidiary Zegna Woollens Corporation established in New York. Soon, in 1942, Ermenegildo’s sons Aldo and Angelo joined the family business of the company, which was renamed Ermenegildo Zegna and Sons. In the mid-1950s, the company employed over 1,400 workers.

Ermenegildo Zegna’s sons, Aldo and Angelo, took over the company in the mid-1960s. Under their leadership, the brand expanded its business into ready-to-wear and established new factories and distribution networks abroad. In 1968, the first factory for the production of sleeves and trousers was opened in Novara, followed by Spain, Greece and Switzerland. Sales and marketing departments have also been established in France, Germany, Great Britain and the USA. In the 1970s, Zegna launched its tailor-made service called Su Misura. 

Zegna’s attention to wool quality continued in the 1960s and 1970s, as the company established the Wool Awards in Australia (1963) and the Mohair Trophy in South Africa (1970). The international development strategy led by the Zegna brothers led to the opening of the first owned boutique in Paris in 1980 and then in Milan in 1985. In the 1990s, more precisely in 1991, Zegna became the first luxury brand to open a boutique in China.

In the 1990s, the third generation of the Zegna family entered the business. Angelo’s son and namesake of the company’s founder, Ermenegildo “Gildo” Zegna, became CEO of Zegna Group in 1997, while his cousin Paolo was appointed president of Zegna Group. Under their leadership, the company embarked on a strategy of brand expansion and full verticalization. The first major recorded success was in 1991, when Zegna was the first luxury brand to enter the Chinese market, with a flagship store in Beijing and one of the first to enter the Indian market.

The ZEGNA brand has always been a favorite in the celebrity world. Numerous actors and models have advertised Zegna’s lines over the years. Celebrities featured in Zegna’s advertising campaigns are Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, American model Ryan Burns, Irish actor Jamie Dornan, English actor Sam Reilly. In 2017, Ermenegildo Zegna launched a four-chapter campaign called Defining Moments. Robert De Niro, McCaul Lombardi, Benjamin Millepied, Park Chan-wook, Yoo Ji-tae, Wang Deshun, Sunny Wang, Javier Bardem, Dev Patel participated in the campaign. Two years later, in 2019, Zegna launched a new campaign, “What does it mean to be a man today?”, featuring Mahershala Ali and Nicholas Tse, focused on the definition of modern masculinity.

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see several interesting pieces from the latest FW 24/25 Zegna collection, namely a cashmere jacket, a cashmere turtleneck and trousers. The cashmere navy jacket is an oversized cut with black leather details. The jacket is made of the finest cashmere and is filled with down. The beige turtleneck is a timeless classic that every man needs and it is a piece of clothing that each of us, regardless of gender, should have in our wardrobe. Dark coloured trousers have a classic narrow cut that simply give any outfit an elegant and understated touch.

Building its reputation on a solid know-how concept under the label “Made in Italy”, the Mancini family uses the exclusive experience of Italian craftsmanship and high-quality fabrics, to provide elegant fashion creations and exclusive style that characterises the Italian design talent woven into YOON, the brand which combines tradition and prestige.

YOON is the flagship brand of the Mancini family and is characterised by artisanal elegance that has won the hearts of customers around the world thanks to the use of fine yarns, ecological and innovative fibers. Acquired several years ago to enhance the company’s presence in the casual chic market, YOON has so far provided the company with high visibility at the international trade fairs Pitti Uomo in Florence and The Supreme in Monaco.

Due to unerring sense of fashion and innovative creativity, YOON clothing becomes a means of living in the third millennium. For those who pay attention to MADE IN ITALY quality, who deliberately choose not to go unnoticed, giving preference to elegant and dynamic styles at the same time. Intelligent weaving between fashion style and vintage shades, between technology and nature, somewhere between “city style” and “British style”.

YOON presents dry and clean lines in its collections, as required by an increasingly dynamic everyday life. The past and the future combine to give a new prism to the general picture of life, synthesizing maximum style and maximum comfort in one clothing combination. The materials used are extremely pleasant to wear, light and at the same time warm and protective, from new tactile sensations.

Another feature of YOON clothing is the extraordinary ductility of the collection, which is provided by practical models with precise and never superfluous details. Noble fabrics merge into new, intangible and elastic fibers. In today’s post you have the opportunity to see a beautiful navy sweater and lavender coloured details with zipper from the latest YOON collection. This sweater is unusual because of the addition of lilac yarn that looks like pendants and unusual work on the sleeves.

In short YOON is a brand that indicates the style and personality of modern times.

Turtleneck Sweater: YOON

Pantalone: Brunello Cucinelli

Cipele: Christian Louboutin via MYTHERESA MEN

Today we will continue the story of an exclusive luxury unusual fashion brand that I noticed in a previous post that you fell in love with at first sight – Brett Johnson. This brand possesses a multi-faceted spirit that reflects the founder of the brand through his own quest to redefine the American dream we all dream about.

Brett Johnson represents a real masculine universe of relaxed luxury with a touch of modern and refined self-awareness that every modern man with refined taste should possess. This exceptional fashion brand was founded by Mr. Brett Johnson, a menswear designer born in Virginia in 1989. He studied fashion in New York, where he also worked for Donna Karan, until there was a turning point in his life in 2014 when he decided it was the right time to start his own fashion brand. Mr. Johnson comes from a family of successful entrepreneurs as his parents are the founders of BET Entertainment (Black Entertainment Television), an American cable television network based in Washington and after its sale to Viacom, they expanded the business into hospitality and financial services. Growing up in a family that developed numerous successful businesses, Brett Johnson gradually built his vision of a sustainable and successful independent fashion brand in the right way.

Mr. Johnson battled a lot of prejudice early in his design career as many believed he was just another rich kid who decided to make his way into the world of fashion. With his dedicated work and exceptional creativity, Mr. Johnson showed what a refined, self-aware modern man should look like, because due to his creativity, he managed to include his fashion brand in the offer of the famous department store Neiman Marcus, which recognized the undeniable talent of Mr. Johnson, as well as his vision brand.

The Brett Johnson brand has experienced dizzying success in the world of fashion in a short time, which is why Mr. Johnson opened his first flagship store in 2017, on Mercer Street, the elegant heart of Soho. At that moment there was a need to internationalize his brand and therefore the collection had to be presented all over the world. The world of fashion is special and the right decisions need to be made to keep a brand at the top and Mr. Johnson found himself at an important business crossroads and it was time to choose the next market to expand his brand.

New York, where the heart of the brand is located, needed to find a place in Europe to expand the business. When we talk about the world of fashion, there are only two European metropolises where every brand can develop, namely Milan, the center of the fashion business and the cradle where the “Made in Italy” concept of work is kept, or Paris, the famous international fashion hub in Europe. Mr. Johnson decided on Milan, where he still achieves outstanding results.

With each new collection, designer Brett Johnson left the men’s fashion world speechless because his pieces are iconic and timeless and can be worn on any occasion. It is my great honour to present to you the extraordinairy piece of the new Brett Johnson Fall-Winter 2024 collection. While writing this fashion story, I am trying to find the right words to define the new Brett Johnson FW24/25 collection. At a very first sight, I would say that the collection is inspired by the neutral colours of nature and everything is subordinated to comfort, unique refinement and inevitable elegance.

The brand itself is recognised for its creation of high-quality clothing and fashion accessories for men, but this piece of fashion that I will present to you today – an aviator navy jacket made of exquisite deerskin is for me a piece of fashion that simply invites you to go out and explore.

The new Brett Johnson FW24/25 collection is inspired by the green natural environment, with colors reminiscent of the typical shades of the mountain environment; from the white of snow to the blue of the sky, from the warm tones characteristic of autumn leaves to the green of untouched forests. This collection is adorned with jackets, raincoats, parkas, coats and fine knitwear. These are the pieces that the Brett Johnson brand has proposed for this fashion season. Men’s fashion for the autumn-winter season should be made of clothes that are resistant to wind and water, extremely comfortable and super light. In the new Brett Johnson collection, materials like cashmere, leather and wool are used, soft and warm fibers that gently envelop the figure, giving an authentic experience of comfort.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see a navy Aviator Deerskin Jacket from the latest Brett Johnson FW24/25 collection, which is made of the finest pebbled deerskin, the beauty of which is emphasised by a natural shearling fur collar. The jacket has ribbed cuffs and hem.

This beautiful long sleeve leather aviator jacket features a front zipper with two front pockets. All the materials used to make the jacket – natural leather and fur – are of Italian origin and the entire production was carried out in Italy.

It is with great pleasure that I can share with you all wonderful news, as many of you have asked me what is happening with the brand’s website and you have not been able to access it and view the new Brett Johnson collection, the site has been in the process of working due to an unexpected number visit the site went down, but their technical team solved the problems and the site is available again! I hope that like me, you will find your favourite timelessly elegant Brett Johnson piece for yourself or for your beloved man if you are looking for the ideal gift for your husband.

In the following fashion stories, I will show you some more outfits that were completed with this extraordinary jacket and I believe that you will find inspiration for your ideal fall-winter outfit. If you want to know more about the Brett Johnson brand, visit brand’s official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Fashion pieces from the Brunello Cucinelli collection are made so that they can last for seasons and years with the guarantee that you can leave something of exceptional quality to your descendants with a timeless cut that will always be fashionable. Each manufactured piece is designed so that it does not follow blind trends, but on the contrary remains its own and consistent with the style of timeless elegance and refinement. Brunello Cucinelli is a brand that cherishes the values of “quiet luxury”, that’s why you’ll never see an aggressive brand logo on their clothes, leather goods or other fashion accessories, but the design and material will tell the story for themselves.

Brunello Cucinelli is an Italian luxury fashion brand that sells menswear, womenswear and accessories in Europe, North America and East Asia. The company was founded by Mr. Brunello Cucinelli in 1978. Mr. Cucinelli started his fashion house in 1978 specializing in Mongolian cashmere clothing for women. Today, the company owns 94 of the 124 stores worldwide. A few years ago, more precisely in January 2017, the company launched its online web store.

Mr. Cucinelli controls and manages the brand through Fedone Srl. Cucinelli’s family fund owns 57% of the company’s shares, and has also set up a special fund for the benefit of his daughters, Camilla and Carolina, to guarantee the proper handover of his eponymous company. This is an inspiring fashion story about a family.

An impressive fact is that the company headquarters is located in a 14th-century castle on top of a hill in the middle of Umbria, an area known as the “green heart” of Italy. Brunello Cucinelli donates 20% of profits to its charitable foundation and pays workers wages that are 20% higher than the fashion industry average. Also interesting information is that the employees of the company have extremely flexible working hours and that e-mails are not allowed after working hours. This is one of the few fashion houses that have such good working conditions, which is commendable in today’s age of classical capitalism.

My outfit today is adorned with navy trousers from the latest Brunello Cucinelli Fall-Winter 2024/25 collection, which are made of the finest wool. If you want to stay updated and find out what iconic Italian fashion house Brunello Cucinelli has prepared for us this fashion season, follow this brand on social media: Facebook and Instagram.
