Z Zegna Men F/W 13
Z Zegna F/W 2013
The setting—birds chirping over the soundtrack, a runway composed of crushed autumn leaves—read rustic, but Zegna Fall 2013 collection was far from pastoral. Instead, Paul Surridge continued his quest for cutting-edge modernity with a series of sharp, graphic looks with clean lines and vibrant colors that felt, all in all, very urbane. It was a smartly progressive season for the brand, both aesthetically and technically, demonstrating a variety of innovative construction techniques that reworked classic shapes into a look at the future. Surridge managed to walk the fine line of balancing marketability with his own creative impulses, working to nudge menswear forward gently and reassuringly. A palette of mostly black and midnight was shot through with pops of orange and brown, but the clothes largely spoke for themselves, without need for extraneous prints or details.
