The Milan Uomo Bertoni SS16 collection, B-side American Dream was inspired by, you guessed it: the American Dream! The family-owned company showcased their collection the beautiful Museo Bagatti Valsecchi in Milan, and the regal, debonair trucks fit right on among the medieval armor, ceilings of grandeur and old-fashioned Renaissance fireplaces and furniture.
Besides the the main shapes they do (and do well, in my opinion) this season, they include a north/south bag which seems to be trending for SS16 as well as a cool utility leather vest in various patterns with plenty of pockets. A skull motif embodied the gangster idea quite well actually!
The collection had the American gangster in mind: muted colors, graffiti prints and all-around luxury. A cool fly pattern print and a bandana print modernized the classic shapes.
Our wishlist includes the trunk turned desk and another which is actually a wardrobe. The square-side briefcases have an beautiful yet useful interior with plenty of pockets to store anything you might need during the work day as a man on the go!
