Reimagining Berluti-Actor and model Didier Vinson connects with Mr Porter’s The Journal for a feature on Berluti and artistic director Alessandro Sartori. Wearing fall styles from the label, which Mr Porter stocks, Didier is photographed by Carlotta Manaigo. Referencing Berluti’s rich heritage in footwear, Sartori explains, “I take inspiration from the shoes. It’s very interesting to start from the bottom [of an outfit] because you can really build on a solid base. I like to work with masculine shoes with a beautiful strong shape, such as our Alessandro and Lorenzo models.”
Constructing ensembles around Berluti’s footwear, he continues, “I like narrow trousers, which do not need to be skinny; I like it when the trousers are sitting on the shoe, with two or three little creases, showing long and lean legs. And on top of that a small jacket with natural shoulders, maybe a leather bomber or a blouson to keep that tight silhouette at the top.” / Shop the Berluti pieces featured in the story and read more on MrPorter.com.
