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.

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.
