The
state-of-the-art fabrics at Berluti had to be felt to be believed. Alessandro
Sartori made liberal use of pre-washed, treated leather with the texture and
appearance of waxed cotton. His cashmere felt was ‘punched’ with angora and
alpaca, which gave it a revolutionary new consistency. Berluti’s solid
foundation stone of grey suits, dark coats and spiffy tuxes moved beautifully
with the models. They possessed that perfect blend of the sporty and the luxe,
built with a level of complexity never achieved before. [1]
Nominated in
2011 as artistic director of Berluti, Alessandro Sartori creates shoes and
ready-to-wear collections, bringing new life to a timeless style. Like the
founders, Alessandro possesses and is possessed by the desire and the gift to
create, a desire that has been with him since his earliest years. As a child,
he adored sharing time with his mother in her dress-making workshop. The warm
fragrance of fine materials, the squeak of the scissors, the treasure trove of
offcuts, all contributed to his creative imagination. The latter paired with
disciplined technique and poetic elegance are his keywords. From pattern
cutting to the finishing of a buttonhole, no detail escapes his eye. For
Berluti, he creates collections that blend rigorous control with fantasy, a distillation
of the soul and spirit of the House.
