Italian textile producer and luxury men’s wear label Ermenegildo Zegna and US casual wear brand, Fear of God have entered into a partnership. Over 95 per cent of the fabrics in the collection of suits and double-breasted leather blazers come from Zegna’s mills. Fear of God provided the denim and a light-but-dense cotton seen in roll-neck tops. Silhouettes are looser. Details are deft, especially at the neckline in this tieless collection – like marvelous silk tops, cuffed and finished with clever zippered funnel-necks. There are excellent checked Chesterfields, dashing suede shirt-jackets and plush lambskin jerkins. Any lapel is dropped or lazy. Lots of pants are finished with cummerbunds or wide waist-belts; jackets come with Henleys and soft collar tops. The tailoring is easily digestible since a too tailored look is anathema for this generation.

The range is titled Fear of God exclusively for Ermenegildo Zegna XXX, from the triple-X couture division of the Italian label. In total, there are 39 looks, accessorized with some natty gray suede moccasins and smart boots. Plans are to retail the collection in over 30 Zegna flagships, major department stores and e-tailers. The collection is aimed at a new clientele.
