Canali for fall paid homage to its territory, Italy’s Brianza area where the menswear company is based and which is also a high-end furniture-making hub and design district.
To wit, the brand held its presentation on Sunday in a space that was decked out like a luxurious home or lounge with three armchairs designed by Vincent Van Duysen for Molteni and upholstered with fabrics from Canali’s winter collection.
“This is a true representation of what Canali is about, its roots, craftsmanship, and high quality fabrics with a fashion twist with seasonal patterns,” said president and chief executive officer Stefano Canali. He highlighted the brand’s “consistency and credibility which at the end of the day is what makes a difference at this time and helps overcome difficulties. After growing last year, we expect a high single digit growth in sales in 2025, too.”
References to the floor patterns and the textures of the design pieces were seen in the robe-like, belted fluid coats, double- faced trenches and deconstructed, light and unlined suits that had a loungewear feel.

The Donegal texture of knits and overcoats also were found on the armchairs and pillows, and the diamond patterns on the inlay floors were represented in the jacquards on pullovers and scarves. Shapes were soft and cocooning and bouclé and Donegal tweed created 3D effects on the pieces.
In addition to wool, Canali didn’t hold back on the use of luxury materials, from alpaca and beaver, to cashmere and nappa leather.
The setup worked, the models lounging around appearing comfortable in sophisticated yet nonchalant looks. It all felt seamless and cohesive, a real tribute to Italian craft.
