The Italian Way–Gazzarrini treats menswear with a sharp edge when approaching the spring 2012 season. Cutting the fundamentals with semi-fitted proportions, the details are amplified against constained shapes. Juxtaposing Italian tailoring with a hint of athleticism, mint green makes its way into the collection, dressing sleeveless shirting as well as drawstring pleated trousers. Armed with soft prints dispersed throughout the range, Gazzarrini makes a gentle stride into the new season, accompanied by a impeccable construction and an easy selection of contemporary wears.
