Aldo Maria Camillo Men’s Fall 2021
This was his third collection for his namesake label, and Aldo Maria Camillo built on his luxurious offer of wardrobe staples made with top-notch materials. Velvety suits, wool peacoats, an off-white Crombie coat, lambswool jackets, chunky knit sweaters, fluid T-shirts in washed silk and, for extra pizzazz, a leopard-printed jacket were drawn up with fabrics sourced from wherever they’re made best — here was a suede from Italy and an army fabric from England; there, velvet from Japan and mohair from France. These fabrics, combined with the perfected cuts, made for an appealing, timeless feel to it all.
The longtime designer, who has worked for Valentino, Berluti and Cerruti, stepped out of the shadows in 2019, with support from Pitti Uomo, as well as the suppliers he grew to know over the years.

“I’ve been really lucky, even suppliers are helping me make it happen — they opened the door,” he said, noting they offered support by agreeing to a minimum amount of production. Reflecting his purist approach, he avoids synthetic materials, even for linings, and the label’s tag is a short strip of cotton ribbon.
“I really wanted — for the whole collection — for it to be a really tactile experience,” he said.
To complete the looks, Chelsea boots were sturdy and handsome — including one pair that came in an original red patina.
