Z Zegna, Men's Spring Summer 2010

This show was one of my favorite from Milan this season. It had a very dressy quality to it. A lot of the models were wearing spats and top hats. I actually bought a pair of spats online a couple years ago. Not sure what that says about me, but don't worry, I'll never get a top hat.

Anyways, I liked the way the single-button shawl collar tuxedo style suits were dressed down to give a more casual effect (think Adam Levine from Maroon V).

Z Zegna, Fall 2009 Men's

In Canada, we pronounce it "Zed Zegna" ;)

The Z line is Zegna's sportier, fashion forward child. I see the stuff heavily marketed at Harry's, but I don't see the edgier pieces of the collection. I guess that wouldn't fly with their Bay St. clientele.

This particular collection was intresting, albeit very black. Most men's magazines will tell you not to wear an overcoat past the knee, but this collection (as well as many others) violate that rule. As for me, being a shorter dude, I would never wear anything past my knees.
