Incanuti created a brand with is own name in 2002 and he is one of the names to keep an eye on within the contemporary italian fashion scene, together with his team he collaborates with Italian and international companies, as well as the thai government for which he is consultant concerning the production of some collection. Incanuti has been also art director of the brand GENTRYPORTOFINO since 2006.
Alberto Incanuti’s 2007-2008 fall/winter men collection has been inspired by abnormal and unique individuals. Incanuti’s man has a thing for being unusual and roams the cities watching from a discreet distance. A curious and laborious nature. His bizarre appearance can appear strange, but familiar, he seems just one of the faces from a very old family picture. His clothes have been folded up one by one and he has placed them all in a pile; piles and piles of clothes that are used in an organised and composed way. He unfolds and puts them on in a mindless manner.
The clothes have a vintage and worn attitude, they are a perfect part of this sort of old silent movie story. Warm fabrics, yet with a “rough/raw” look. Gauzy and washed pin-stripped wools. Aged cotton panama hats. Wool Jacquards on taffeta, old satins, and very light gauzy wool jacquards, wool cashmere for the knitwear, fine thick wool and alpaca yarns for the handmade pieces.
