Alessandro-Squarzi and friend 

Last week when I was in Paris I also had the chance to visit Tranoi. This show is held in the old stock exchange of Paris called Le Bourse. Tranoi isn't that street style oriented as Capsule Show but it had some great names presenting their collection, like Bark, Griffin, Aigle by Nigel Cabourn etc.

I really liked the denims of Maurizio Massimino whit a playful pocket on the left upper leg. And what to say about the Monty coats of Harnold Brook.

LORD HAVE JERSEY ON ME

Last Summer you could already see it on the Pitti Uomo, Florence, The Jersey Blazer whether it's in Fleece or in Pique it is a sporty elegant look. In the window you see an example of a pique double breasted blazer from Bark. (Montulet, Maastricht)

DON'T BITE JUST "BARK"

The Italian knitter called Bark is famous for it's Mongomery cardigan, often seen in Italy as an extra layer, sort of a coat instead of a cardigan.

Their philosophy is to celebrate identity, AND SAY IT LOUD. It's where the name came from. Identity has never been driven by fashion; instead it's driven by personal style, with individuality being the sign of the times. This is strength of character, this is modern and this is NOW. When fashion does not feel like a series of dictations from on high but communicates what's going on, it becomes something else: STYLE.
