Italian brand Corneliani has long married expert tailoring with modern trends. Their new Fall/Winter 2024 collection is a prime example.
In the 1930s, when tailor Alfredo Corneliani emerged on the scene in Mantua, Italy, his men’s suits swiftly joined the pantheon of modern Italian tailoring. Like the brand his sons would establish two decades later, these suits stood out from local rivals, not just for their commitment to quality fabrics, but for their refined sense of impeccable cuts. From the very beginning, Corneliani’s designs exuded a quiet yet unmistakable confidence and sophistication. Coupled with meticulous attention to even the smallest detail, it’s no surprise the brand soon captured the attention of men across the globe.
Gold Standard
The following decades saw Corneliani’s rise to become a key player on the international fashion stage. The brand’s fashion shows garnered admiration for their quintessentially Italian art of blending innovation and tradition. The collections themselves embodied the pinnacle of tailoring craftsmanship, both in their perfectly fitted jackets and timeless color palettes. Even then, the brand was known for designs characterized by clean lines and impeccable fits — it’s no wonder that suits from this brand are considered the gold standard of men’s attire.
In the spirit of this legacy, Corneliani continues to thrive today, thanks to successors who adapt each season’s collections to the dictates of fashion. They maintain the original values upon which the entire brand was built: elegance and flawless craftsmanship. As a result, Corneliani now represents a balanced mix of classic men’s style and modern dressing.
Enduring Sophistication
This philosophy is reflected in the current autumn and winter collection, which once again showcase Corneliani’s flawless tailoring. This time, designers have focused on versatility and comfort, without neglecting the functionality and practicality of each piece. The color palette features earthy tones, dominated by black, brown, and camel, refreshed with accents of mauve and cognac.
Outerwear, whether leather jackets or coats made from technical fabrics, plays an intriguing game with length. Short and long variants alternate, accentuating a silhouette characterized by volume and comfort. Trousers follow this trend — the collection includes styles ranging from slim to wide or flowing cuts. Carefully selected materials, led by organic fabrics with a low environmental impact, are complemented by pure wool, cashmere, soft leather, and warm shearling. Pieces made from popular microfibers and ultra-light nylon are also featured.
This meticulously curated range confirms that Corneliani remains true to its philosophy: creating garments that are not just clothing, but become a lifestyle for the modern man.
