Introduction
Gagliardi embodies the timeless appeal of Savile Row but adds a distinctive Mediterranean flair and a penchant for rich colour. The label combines the quirks of modern fashion – on trend cuts, seasonal shades and varied textures – with a no-nonsense, old-fashioned approach when it comes to quality and craftsmanship and the use of luxurious fabrics.
The result is a rarity in menswear: realistically cut clothes that are injected with clever little touches usually confined to high fashion collections.
Gagliardi: SS13 Collection
Gagliardi’s new spring/summer 2013 collection is a carefully assembled selection of suits, jackets, shirts, shorts, trousers and accessories with a strong point of difference: the eclectic range is made exclusively from quality natural fibres, with sartorial details and defined silhouettes throughout. The connecting thread between each garment is the focus upon fit, the quality of the fabrics and the attention to detail.
The vibrant new collection is divided into three sections: ‘Business’, ‘Weekend’, and ‘Evening’, with a strong focus on contemporary wardrobe staples in each category.
Gagliardi Business Wear
For business, Gagliardi offers a selection of suits with sharp silhouettes and fine linings, softened by delicate hints of colour, print and texture.
The clean lines and slim cut of the suiting captures 1950s Italian elegance perfectly. Team these suits with the wide range of Gagliardi shirts on offer and you have a winning combination.
Ties and pocket squares are often optional but Gagliardi strongly suggests that they should be worn for pleasure, rather than out of a sense of duty. Available in a variety of bright seasonal hues and distinctive patterns, they’re an easy way to smarten your look – whatever your motivation.

Gagliardi Casual Wear
Weekend wear is another great strength of the brand. Gagliardi is renowned for its ability to modernise wardrobe classics and has turned its expert eye to the humble blazer jacket.
The label’s signature attention to detail is evident in the floral patterns and touches of colour which embellish the linings, pocket flaps and elbow patches, with the vivid shades and delicate prints helping to lift a more subdued outfit instantly.
A classic example is the ‘Double-faced Jersey Jacket’: lightweight and wearable all year round, it’s unmistakable as a result of its artisanal construction. The same is true of the other deconstructed and garment-washed jackets within the range, which are original, never banal and include a wealth of detail.
Each jacket has a streamlined appearance that complements the soft cotton shirts that are on offer in light washes.
