The AW21/22 collection has been designed for men who seize the moment, i.e. seek sophisticated yet casual garments that ooze contemporary luxury, yet do not compromise on comfort. This comprehensive and vast collection is once again a testament to the premium-quality materials and attention to detail, that only a first-class Italian craftsmanship and sustainability-oriented focus can guarantee. HANDPICKED’s green attitude comprises durable all-season garments that have been designed to outlast any short-lived trends.
The AW21/22 collection features a wide variety of denim fabrics - including Kurabo, stretch and super stretch - and treatments - ranging from deep blue to stone-washed and handmade paint-splattered or destroyed models. Besides cotton, many other fabrics have made the cut, such as cotton, jersey touch-look fleece denim, flannel, velvet - both needlecord and French rib-knit - and no collection would be complete without wools, like the refined Vitale Barberis wools. The stone-effect wool with a warm and soft hand is very popular right now. Furthermore, the classic prints - chequered, Glen plaid and houndstooth - are can’t-miss elements.
The collection’s 5-pocket models boast fresh stylistic details: a reinterpreted swoosh, subtle contrasts and a higher crotch, yet retain the copper buttons, silicone-coated first button and the name embroidered on the pocket bag. All the names of the HANDPICKED collection’s models - whether trousers or outerwear items - are named after history, art and culture-rich cities. The Limited-Edition selvedge denim model stands out with its brightly-coloured suede back tag, customised logo detail and selvedge-adorned fifth pocket.
The collection also features: the Eco mood; garments that stand out with their harmful chemical-free eco-sustainable washes and treatments, in addition to accessories made with and via eco-friendly materials and processes. The Studios mood which introduces two new youthful fits - Milano slim and Imola baggy. The wide range of pleated and non-pleated must-have chinos are offered with a comfort or slim fit. There’s also the strong focus on the casual range, which comprises crew-neck hoodies that effortlessly pair with the drawstring-embellished sweatpants.
A wide range of knitted garments, in addition to denim, flannel and velvet shirts, make up the top section. The outerwear range comprises denim Saharan and tracker jackets, the frog fastener-adorned duffel coat - offered in a short and long version - complete with internal straps to carry the garment on your shoulders when not in use, and the wool bomber jacket featuring a chequered or plain-coloured blue cloth internal and external print.
