Brighter, unexpected deco colors such as purple, lavender and burnt orange enhance the styling of the collection when coupled with graphic windowpanes, checks and plaids. Both heather and sharkskin grounds in high blues and a full compliment of greys add optical interest to many of the styles, creating a more sophisticated and diffused mood to the collection. Highest qualities include Super 150’s merino wool, as well as luxurious natural blends of Super 150’s and cashmere, with a small number of styles in Super 110’s and Super 120’s merino completing the collection. The finest Biella area mills from the famous Piedmont region of northern Italy are the source of these exquisite cloths. Only the mills’ most compelling designs make the cut to be selected by Gladson’s experienced merchandising team for Alazar IX.
