l've read that Berluti have scaled down alot of their colour ranges in order to go for a more mass produced product. lt probably explains why there are mainly shades of black and brown and none of the older colours such as blue, green, pink etc.

I heard that they are now made in China.
I have to drop into their store and check it out. Anyone know if they make wide sizes?
OK for the old sartorialist Frenchman in green-framed goggles and matching green trahseez, but not really my sort of thing.

well, they're at least... interesting...
BTW, chisel toes and almond toes were big in the early sixties, too...
Berluti expands due to GMVH

I came across this recently; seems to sum up modern trends and aspirations:

Even the Kray twins had more sartorial style than most modern celebrities - which says as much about the fundamentals of sartorial style as it does about modern celebrity.
