Angelo Galasso’s evolution from primarily a men’s couture shirt designer to a ready-to-wear menswear designer of note is nothing short of revolutionary. It has been well documented that expanding a brand to include ready-to-wear collections is not an easy process. Many European couture houses have struggled with that transition, and it usually takes years to get it just right. Still, Galasso, in a relatively short amount of time, has handily adapted his design aesthetic to include ready-to-wear garments that a variety of men with deep pockets would want to wear.
For his fall/winter 2013 collection, Angelo Galasso dresses his man for not only ever jointure of his day, but also various points of view and activities of his week. From business chic to masculine evening glam to a weekend in the Swiss Alps, the Galasso gentleman is current and always impeccably attired.
For his business day look, Galasso has employed the finest Italian wools with cashmere blends. Galasso’s unique point of view on the classic Prince of Wales check has resulted this season in the very first Angelo Galasso house check in signature Galasso blue. Galasso caps off his double-breasted and three-and-two-piece suits with a classic trench with leather detailing and a shearling with crocodile inserts.
For a night on the town, this season Galasso marries Italian velvet jackets with slim-fitted trousers, which is a fashion-forward take on new trends in tuxedo wear. Galasso’s high collared Polso Orologio shirt harkens back to Galasso’s affinity for couture shirt and is a must-have item for the international traveler who needs a statement piece in their wardrobe.
Galasso in this collection does not forget that all jetsetters have and need some downtime. So, in that time away from social and business life, the Galasso man can luxuriate in navy blues, whites and greys that conjure up images winter retreats at St. Moritz. Galasso’s bulky knitwear, sports-influenced puffa jackets in bold nylons, and vintage-inspired shearlings are ideal for the slopes or a wintry weekend.
From day to night to weekend, Angelo Galasso outfits his guy for essentially all his fall/winter needs. Who could ask for more!!
