Tailored Expositions: Exquisite Dullness In Magliano FW27

The Magliano Fall/Winter 2027 collection was a languid reinterpretation of 1930s fashion. The dropped-shoulder long coats, the high-rise trousers, the shape of the work shirts—everything was reminiscent of the tepid, destitute times of massive unemployment after the 1929 Wall Street crash; of the clothing of contemporaries from both those who rushed West to find work, like George and Lennie, and those who endured the urban difficulties and inequalities, like Bigger Thomas and Boris Max.

The collection draws inspiration from industrial Northern Italy. Its sober and grounded palette speaks of vulnerability, a quiet statement amidst the unstructured, oversized proportions. Earthy browns, faded blues and muted darks were accompanied down the runway by a mysterious sort of fog. At a slow pace, the piano music that flowed through the assortment made the heavy wools and thick knits that layered the exquisite silks heftier still.

The silhouettes were daring. They offer the momentum that menswear desperately needed. For too long, the industry has hesitated to challenge the status quo of men's fashion. Sensitive yet sensible, flowery yet muted, these masculine and refined shapes easily earn this collection a suited and booted.
