Cerruti Fall/Winter 2010

White tulips in winter. A milk croissant for breakfast. Richard Nicoll's debut for Cerruti perfectly describes my current state of mind. The longing for softness, warmth and spring.

Substratum

Cerruti Fall/Winter 2010

Jesper Borjesson has to be applauded. His reinvention of the Cerruti menswear brand succeeded in respect of modernisation and juvenescence. Sharp suits with matching nylon jackets, variable lengths and a tender colour range of creme, grey and metallics.

Le 22 Vendredi

Day 2 of the marathon of men in heels. A glitter boots finale and half-naked boys backstage at Tim Hamilton. Cute boys in cute suits under custody of Cerruti's new design director Jesper Borjesson. Supersized male anatomy at Walter van Beirendonck. Dedication to absolute wearability at Kris van Assche. Exquistely printed velvet at Laitinen. Finalement, star-crossed ghosts at Blaak Homme. Et voilà.
