The land of mystique, colors and aromas, India has always been an inspiration to artists and fashion designers across the world. This season the glittering ramps of Milan went a step ahead with Canali’s Spring Summer 2012 Menwear entire show theme was built around India.

A journey in search of prized fabrics and precious embroidery in a crescendo of styles and colors reign Canali’s latest India-inspired collection. The theme derived its inspiration from India’s mystery and adventure, the colors and aromas. It took the viewers through an India of gifts, a country with passion that permeates every gesture into a ritual, a poem crafted from spirituality and joy, a land parched by drought and softened by monsoons that purify the soul and heart.

The collection is animated by a new spirit brimming with references to other cultures, but without losing its deeply Italian personality. Particularly interesting are the impressive Mandala inspired designs, and the elaborate embroidery applied by hand to the Nawab evening jacket, which is being presented in a five-button version with Korean collar.

About the show Paolo Canali, Sales & Marketing Director, Canali stated:  “With India we share tradition as well as an elegance without equal and this collection interprets these common values in a modern and very contemporary style”.

Indian cine star Anil Kapoor in a fine Canali suit graced the show by his presence along   with his beautiful wife Sunita.  Eugenio Canali, CEO Canali, hosted a glittering after show party at Bagati Valsecchi Museum in honor of him. The party was attended by Stefano, Paolo, Giorgio and Elisabetta Canali as well as by an international parterre including Consul General of India in Milan S.K. Verma, Princess Alexandra Orloff, Dino and Shilu Bhattessa, Judi Jarvis, Concetta Lanciaux, Giovanni Gastel, model Jas Arora and many more.
