DRESSING UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Okay it's time to make some decisions, what will you wear with Xmas?

You can't go wrong with plaids, whether it's a pant or a blazer, but never together.

Happy Holidays!

AMERICAN STYLE THE ITALIAN WAY

Last week I visited the Mason's Clothing showroom in Antwerp. During the 1970's the American Marcatino (Flea market) in Livorno was a piece of America on Italian ground, military garments, and gadgets of all kinds admired by collectors with passion for Americana. It was in this context that the Mason's brand matured: the idea of creating civilian garnets that conserve the aesthetic and characteristics, durability, and functionality of military garments. A style was born Americana the Italian way. For spring/summer 2013 the Mason's collection is not just military styled chino's and camouflage jackets, but also a full range of 5 pockets and chino's in the colors of the rainbow and more. During the Pitti Uomo, Florence they showed a special collection presented with backlight, the idea was just to have a showstopper, but the reaction where so good that they will bring this collection on the market next spring.

DROP YOUR PANTS

Founded in 1951, Slowear is the Italian group that owns, Incotex, Zanone, Glanshirt & Montedoro. Slowear started when Carlo Compagno Confezioni, a small trousers production was founded in Venice. The two Compagno sons, Roberto & Marzio, who still own the company took over control and started selling directly to retailers. In 2000 Incotec expanded with a total look not by just putting a label on other  products but by acquire a series of compagnies, namely the best Italian companies in each specific category. it was here that they acquired Montedoro, the jacket maker founded in 1958, Zanone, the knitwear company founded in 1984 and Glanshirt, the shirt maker who were founded in 1960. In 2004, The Compagno family decided to create an umbrella brand, which is how Slowear was created.
