THE ITALIAN MENSWEAR GUIDE - Elite Traveler

IsaIa
| Fall Focus | The Neapolitan sartorial company
Isaia is opening the door of fine suit-making to the
young man who is passionate about details but not
a slave to anyone else’s fashion dictates. Isaia considers
this customer the “Eteropolitan Man,” who
appreciates both the traditional and the contemporary
sides of life. For next fall, the collection focuses
on comfort and is filled with relaxed suits, fabrics in
blues, browns and grays, eco-sensitive fabrics, and
even sartorial sneakers.
| Key Pieces | Outerwear shines this season. The
new take on a trenchcoat renders it in high-tech cotton
with corduroy lining. And a classic wool top coat
packs a punch in bright colors. Detachable fur linings
add a luxurious touch to classic overcoats. The new
suit jacket shape comes straight from the requests of
Isaia’s celebrity clientele: the one-button peak lapel.
Heed the details on the Isaia shirts: jewel buttons,
and fabrics of cashmere-cotton, camel-cotton-silk,
and cashmere flannel. The humble jean trouser also
goes luxe this year in cashmere flannel. Supple leather
accessories in the company’s trademark coral red
give a bright accent to any outfit. Isaia also teamed
up with Italian sneaker-maker Superga for a line of
limited edition and classic sport shoes this fall. Customers
can opt for the casual sports shoes in a luxury
upper (such as crocodile, sharkskin, ostrich or Isaia’s
proprietary Aquacashmere), or suiting material from
Isaia’s garment collection.
| Where to Buy | Isaia is sold at fine department
stories including Neiman Marcus, and specialty
menswear boutiques.
