In Zegna’s latest show, models walked as cashmere flakes floated down from the ceiling, soothingly gathering in a pile at the start of the runway. Titled “In the Oasi of Cashmere”, Alessandro Sartori’s latest collection was a masterclass on threading the fine line between design innovation and classic elegance. Recreating the “sala delle mischie”, a room in the brand’s headquarters where cashmere is blended, both the set and the name of Zegna’s Fall/Winter 2024 show was an ode to the luxurious fabric.

One look after the other, Sartori’s ability to effortlessly layer fabric was beautifully illustrated. Tank tops were covered with layers of cashmere. Shirts were tucked in light jackets. Turtlenecks were paired with oversized ribbed coats. These combinations created interesting yet classic silhouettes, feeling effortlessly light despite the overlaying of garments. Lush jumpers with three-quarter sleeves stood out, paired with long thick gloves, perfectly hiding any evidence of skin.

The leather was buttery. The cashmere was soft. The colour palette was delightful, ranging from wonderful warm neutrals to colder pastel tones. Organically evolving from his previous work, Sartori delivered one of the standouts of Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week.
