This Neopolitan brand Kiton dates back to 1968, and continues headstrong into AW15 with a beautiful, elegant collection. The Milan Uomo AW15 line, reminiscent of Downton Abbey with it’s structured, formal lines, double breasted lapels and pea coats is launched into the 21st century by way of layers, layers and more layers. Combing British tailoring with Italian class, the strong lines and warm materials like tweed and wool will wear well for winter. In addition to gorgeous garments, Kiton presents the “Milletrecento Mani” (which means thirteen hundred hands in English), a photo exhibit dedicated to many years of Italian fashion.

Plaid has a strong presence in the collection, and pops of bright purple, evergreen, velvet and pink make the collection stand out from the usual black-and-brown basic fall color palette. I predict, after seeing the London and Milan menswear collection, that we will enter Autumn of 2015 filled with color, adding a little excitement to this next season of colder weather.

Not sure where to find Kiton? Never fear, as they have recent and coming openings in Macau, Chengdu, Zurich, Houston and San Francisco, clearly targeting the Asian and US markets.
