Peter Marino stated, “Ermenegildo Zegna is a historic brand, known for the unrivalled quality of its woven
textiles. I used this imagery throughout the design. The action of the weaving machines heavily influenced
me in intertwining stainless steel threads throughout. The materials and colours, sky blue and alpine green
stones, come from Zegna's strong commitment to nature evident in their OASI in Northern Italy. The entire
compartmentalization of products, each with their own shade of wood, makes up one whole House of Zegna,
a brand that is a rising star in today's world of luxury."
