For spring-summer 2024, the world of men’s fashion is gently stirred by the arrival of Canali’s collection, charmingly titled Mediterranean Craft. The Italian fashion house, renowned for its tailored elegance, veers into a new fashion lane where refinement and versatility harmonize.
Canali whispers a fresh narrative that paints a picture of soft masculinity far from the rigid confines of convention. This collection celebrates the pluralities of modern manhood, offering a versatile wardrobe.
At the heart of Canali’s vision, we find the essence of its home country—Italy. With all the garments proudly made in Italy, Canali stands as a glowing beacon of Italian craft while warmly inviting influences from various cultures. Delving into the collection, one can sense the importance of tailoring to the Canali design ethos.
Canali Spring/Summer 2024 Collection
The collection flaunts garments that reflect the body’s natural lines—imagine slightly emphasized shoulders coupled with fuller trousers. In its Double line, Canali’s commitment to craftsmanship shines. Here, we find seamless, unlined garments constructed with the artistry of invisible stitching. Jackets, color block blousons, trousers, and reversible checked coats—each item a marvel of handmade finesse.
In this collection, Canali paints a vibrant canvas with Vichy checks and floral motifs. A melange of pieces, from a crocheted trucker jacket and tricot sweaters to textured terry accessories, provide an additional layer of visual interest. The collection also shows Canali’s commitment to our planet, featuring knits and suits crafted from recycled or organic materials.
As the sun sets, Canali’s evening wear emerges in pastel hues alongside the classic white and black. With relaxed shapes, these pieces—complemented by voile or linen shirts and velvet slippers—promise an air of effortless elegance. Various fabrics, from fine wool and textured linen to terry and washed nappa leather, contribute to the collection’s sartorial diversity.
The color story is a breeze of light shades, white, sky blue, lavender, sand, and sunflower, punctuated by bold strokes of caramel, blue, burgundy, dark brown, and blue-black. To round off the look, Canali offers a variety of accessories: bucket hats, caps, woven raffia belts, slip-ons, sneakers, sandals, reimagined velvet slippers, loafers, and rope-soled slippers.
A subtle nod to Canali’s history—a ‘1934’ logo signifying its founding year—is artfully sprinkled across several pieces of the spring-summer 2024 collection, suggesting a grand celebration on the horizon. This intriguing detail is brought to life in the season’s lookbook by models Finnlay Davis, Idris Quadri, and Jin J, each exemplifying the collection’s ethos—a modern, gentle approach to masculinity.
