FLORENCE PITTI UOMO 86 | WOOSTER + LARDINI

The Nick Wooster + Lardini collection is about it the concept of imperfection.

There are four jacket styles, four models of trousers. The play is between slim and straight, dropped crotch and a ghurka model with voluminous pleats. A classic patchwork finishes the trouser range. Waistcoats and ties in matching fabrics, complete the sartorial assortment. Woven shirts are based on a play of fabrics utilizing classic shirt stripes, oxford cloth and a navy and polka dot. Each shirt is a mix of two or more fabrics always in a button down style.

Given Lardini’s extensive knowledge in making the perfect jacket, Nick Wooster wanted to turn this notion upside down, by challenging the established rules of proper finishing and creating something understated.

Beyond its rawness, this #PittiUomo86 collaboration is about authenticity: claiming the moment for what a fine man really feels. Great flair Mr. Luigi Lardini !
