THE ITALIAN MENSWEAR GUIDE - Elite Traveler

iva
| Fall Focus | The brand that has defined sexy Ital-
ian yachts for decades is launching its second season
of menswear, with items appropriate for much more
than just the yachting life. The heart of the collection
is luxury sportswear with elegant and innovative details.
every piece is made in Italy, from the threads
and fabrics, to simple stitching, to the more technical
thermal ribboned materials. Designers turned to
nylon for insulation, and used polyester and canvas to
give strength to fur, wool and cashmere.
| Key Pieces | The best knitwear pieces combine
cashmere and leather and a touch of fur. Fashion
pieces for fall are made in blues and grays, with the
riva brand’s signature turquoise as an accent color.
Footwear is also designed for the active man. The
leather moccasin is stitched onto a rubber sole, and of
course there are boat shoes, which this season come
with such decadent linings as cashmere and fur.
| Where to Buy | As of our viewing, the collection
was available exclusively through riva’s Zappieri
showroom in Milan. Visit www.gruppozappieri.it.
