Italian trio Mauro Grifoni, Ilaria Sesso and Andrea Breda created this fashion-forward label in 1992. The brand started out in a small workshop producing handmade shirts but now has flagship stores in Milan, Amsterdam, Berlin and Moscow. Its dapper Italian menswear has graced many a magazine cover as well as red carpets.
the mixture of splendid fabrics and classic fits makes the brand incredibly hard to resist. Deft use of camel hair, houndstooth textures and tartan prove Italians do it best. Free of gimmicks, Mauro Grifoni offers polished pieces that do not compromise on the sophisticated flair for men of any age.
the contrast-sleeve bonded leather bomber jacket (above left; HK$9,800) is an absolute dream. Made with sumptuous lambskin leather and navy felted wool-blend sleeves, the versatile jacket would be great for lazy, off-duty days. The ribbed-cuff tartan wool trousers (above right; HK$3,900) modernise stuffy office attire with an elasticated waist band and comfy drop crotch.
Mauro Grifoni is available at Lane Crawford, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2118 3388.
