Cerruti 1881 AW18

Jason Basmajian is something of a magician when it comes to elegance. He can make the simplest of garments into the highly desirable and incredibly elegant. 

For autumn, variation was the name of the game. Inspired by the post-punk, military and streetwear, these worlds were all infused with a Cerruti spirit, which means chic sophisticated tones of cream, mustard, burgundy and black, and refined materials such as velvet, shearling and cashmere - all of which you should be sporting come winter. 

It was the lush shades that met with the most success here. The opening look of a elegant rose shade topcoat with a simple pair of black trousers and a V-neck underneath made for perfect investment dressing and a coat that you would wear year after year. Military vibing khaki and cream combinations styled with sleek black lace up boots were equally desirable. 

There was also plenty here to keep the avant-garde fashion fan interested. Knitwear featured exaggerated necklines, high and with sloped shoulders, vintage inspired logo sweatshirts and a superb selection of jacquard silk evening wear that is different enough to keep all eyes on you come your next black tie event.
