The elegant, formal and tailored universe. In the words of the organizers, the distinction universe heralds city and formal fashions that are either soft and elegant or solidly protective. Sober and discreet wool visuals are subtly warmed up or made tender, flannels and washed or boiled finishings are broken down from suit weights to coat weights in wovens and knits. The influence of utility clothing is felt in weaves and blends with cotton. Coats and shirtings are a vector of expression in the silhouette. They show off their character with determination, taking on fantasy in color and in patterns, with checks playing a starring role.

Highlights: Shirtings, visible or silent; Suits, discreet or warmed up; Knits, more compact and soft; Outerwear, consistent, washed or architectural or enveloping; Men's Focus, warmed up, function vs. dress, business stripes, washed woolens.
