In Wait–Sara Cimino captures a calm behind the scenes look at Corneliani and Z Zegna’s fall/winter 2012 shows with models in hair and makeup with a great book not too far away.

The Great Tailor–Kicking off Milan Fashion Week, Corneliani takes to the runway with a sea of somber gray, navy and a hint of winter white. Fusing voluminous billowing silhouettes with a knack for tailoring, classics come across with a laid-back sartorial essence. From outerwear with oversize lapels to a cape, trimmed with fur or a cardigan tied at the waist, the Corneliani man possesses an undeniable elegance, fused with a certain practicality. Whether it’s a coordinated suit or sweater and pleated trousers, the Italian label furnishes an aesthetic that masters the ideal balance of purpose and style. Rounding out sharp two-button suits, double-breasted coats and lush knits with a strong suit in textures, Corneliani presents a season, marrying tradition to a relaxed modern attitude.

The Leading Man–Lars Burmeister is chosen to showcase Corneliani fall 2011 looks for their newest catalogue. Shot in the streets of Milan, the Ford model dons a wardrobe of precise suiting, high-necks and strong outerwear for a standout performance after snagging the campaign.

Desert Match–Leaving last season’s structured military silhouette behind, Corneliani ventures into uncharted territories of a deconstructed nature and adopt the uniform of a safari ranger. Lightweight cotton suits elegantly drape over the body, while trousers of cascading fabrics drift with the wind in a soft palette of off white, grey and khaki. From linen shorts to summer weight knitwear, the art of elegance was crafted through the ease of execution and fine tailoring. Trench coats, classic suiting and utilitarian safari jackets were staples made perfect for luxurious complementary accessories such as linen scarves, desert boots and leather goods.

Glossing over fall and heading into a cold winter, Corneliani ensured that their man was bundled in layers to combat the cold. Embracing elements, ranging from a sartorial calling and relaxed military motif to a slope-ready turn in fashion, the label braced itself with a color palette derived from nature. Shifting from dark to light, the collection experienced a strong showing with double breasted blazers, robe-cut outerwear and endearing knits that managed to find a certain cohesiveness felt in domineering fashions.
