Nature meets technology. The universe of active wear collides with urban elegance.

Always at the forefront of innovation, Z Zegna confirms its role as the exciting creative factory for artistic director Ales-sandro Sartori’s challenging experimentations and exploratory incursions in the world of men’s wear.

For the Spring/Summer 2021 season, the brand raises the bar of high-tech functionality incorporating it into an unre-leased collection conveying lighthearted sophistication.

In keeping with its constant, holistic attention to sustainability, Z Zegna expands the development of its #UseTheExisting fabrics, crafted from pre-existing sources. Recycled nylon is treated to get the structure of wool yarns to give shape to high-end fabrics with a technical take but a soft, plush texture.

The brand’s iconic TECHMERINO™ performance wool keeps to steal the spotlight adding unique versatility to all the product categories, while jersey fabrics feature unexpected blends of natural and technical fibers transferring lightness and 3D structures.

Channeling an effortless attitude, the collection plays with deconstructed silhouettes. Blazers show softly constructed drop shoulders, hybrids of utility jackets and cardigans are layered with featherweight jerseys, shorts and joggers dis-play a relaxed attitude. Playing with mixed media, performance outwear is both protective and stylish thanks to the intri-guing patchwork of different fabrics, while the breathable and lightweight knitwear reveals charming textures with an artisanal feel.

Honoring the 110th anniversary of Ermenegildo Zegna, the incredible natural environment of the Oasi Zegna becomes the source of inspiration for the sophisticated color palette. Different shades of blue, green, purple and gray are also used for bold prints of images inspiring a chic toile de Jouy pattern.
