Ermenegildo Zegna Couture’s Summer 2019 Collection Is a Master Class in Chilled-Out Tailoring

/

Being one of the OGs of fine tailoring, Zegna is usually a pretty good indicator of the state of the suit. Amid the mass, Silicon Valley-influenced, hoodies-and-sneakers-ification of menswear, is there still a place for the old jacket and tie? Well, as we learned at the venerated Milanese brand’s Summer 2019 show earlier this season, the answer is… sorta?

Staged on massive mirrored catwalk stretching out across the vast lake in front of the Oscar Niemeyer building (which houses publisher Mondadori’s HQ), the show looked like it was suspended in mid-air, with sunset reflecting on every surface. Fittingly, the show’s theme was Weightlessness, and the collection itself had a feels-like-I’m-wearing-nothing aesthetic. Take away the collar and tie, and suddenly the suit carries an almost pyjama-esque flair, while still looking startlingly sophisticated.

Throughout the line, artistic director Alessandro Sartori has fused the performance of sports with the precious fabrications of couture tailoring, creating a relaxed and breezy silhouette. A fitted jacket is paired with joggers, anoraks are worn with high-waisted trousers, bombers are worn with slacks. Colours range from twilight-y pink to sky blue to mustard yellow.

What’s the future of suiting look like? If Zegna is any gauge, it looks pretty refreshing — like an icy gelato on a sweltering summer’s day.

Gas or electric? The all-new eighth-generation 2027 BMW 3 Series comes both ways, and we just drove them in southern France.

BMW i3 50 xDrive: built on the Neue Klasse platform with gen-6 batteries and motors, 469 hp from a dual-motor setup, 0–100 km/h in 4.7 sec (BMW’s official figure), up to 400 kW ultra-fast charging, and an estimated 750 km of range on the NRCan test.
BMW M350 xDrive: a straight-six making 443 hp, a lighter 1,935 kg, and 0–100 km/h in 4.1 sec, with a lower, sportier driving position.

Both share the same design cues and cabin, and both keep the 3 Series’ signature rear-wheel-drive balance. It’s the biggest change in the model’s 51-year history, and it’s all still Freude am Fahren.

So which one are you picking? Tell us in the comments.

We caught up with @jamesmcavoyrealdeal on making his directorial debut with @californiascheminfilm about the bizarre but true story of Silibil N’ Brains, two aspiring hip-hop artists from Dundee, Scotland, who, after being rejected by London record executives for their thick Scottish accents, reinvent themselves as Californians to land a lucrative contract.

McAvoy talks about hidden costs of creative survival, systemic cultural barriers and the delicate tightrope artists walk.
