The shadows fade, making way for the explosion of light and colour of the Canali Spring Summer 2014 collection designed for a multi-faceted man of the world like Jean Cocteau who loves to surprise with irony and to rewrite the rules with playful but impeccable personal style.

He is a modern man, who astounds with his consummate sense of humour. Alongside pinstripe suits, cotton gauze shirts and trousers with overlapping dot designs, he confidently wears Toile de Jouy fabric jackets, waists emphasized by thin crocodile belts and trousers featuring seductive mermaid decorations entwined with the Canali signature monogram.

The collection plays not only with prints but also with colours, in the form of unique, exclusively designed fabrics which challenge classic masculine colour tones. From the powdery, almost chalky shades of honey, otter and grey, switches to deeper shades of royal blue and dark red. 

Bags in deerskin or decorated with the signature Canali texture, pure silk pocket squares and tie pins worn under jacket breast pockets or on lapels represent decorative jewels that enrich finely tailored suits and reach beyond the tenets of classicism with mastery and refinement.
