"La sartoriale” jacket is one of SMALTO’s most emblematic pieces, and named after the Italian word for "tailor”:
sartore. The foundation of the silhouette is the shoulder that confers
the jacket its allure: narrow and cut close to the body, it curves
forward as to never pull the collar up behind the neck, while sleeve
heads are rolled and slightly convex. Shallow and wide, armscyes
ensure ease of movement, while the perfectly squared Parisian lapel
notch accentuates the lines. Sleeve seams are straight, the
waist is cinched. The notch and the lapel have made Smalto’s
reputation. When savoir-faire makes a statement… Youn Chong Bak has
interpreted LA SARTORIALE, celebrated icon of the Smalto wardrobe, with
very personal insight on the label’s sartorial codes. She has designed an
impeccably contempo-rary silhouette making a clear statement of unmistakable elegance, perfectly in line with the essence of Smalto and based on essence of its
classics. Youn Chong Bak has created five compositions on the small
pleasures in the life of the Smalto man. Formal and casual creations reflecting sartorial art and
expert skills are set in atmospheres dear to Bak’s heart. In these scenes that
enhance the man’s allure and surroundings, his attitude becomes an art de vivre. In an interplay of materials where textiles subtly blend in
colour and pattern, the eye is drawn to a mix of materials, for instance a velvet
lapel. Black, khaki, crisp white, grey and green join in a sober and masculine palette,
enhanced by dashes of honey and lilac tones. Jacquard is everywhere, applied
all-over or to enhance pieces, but always in a voluptuous and generous knit. Kangaroo
leather, gloving lamb, waterproof cashmere, crocodile, deer and long haired mink
join with satins, wool-lens and silk to complete a range of noble fabrics for the most elegant gentlemen. Chapitre Premier Wrapped in a luxurious sweater and enjoying the wood fire,
the aesthete surrenders to a moment of peace. The noise of the
city is far from his country house, where he enjoys a moment in
dapper company. First Chapter The shoeshine enhances leather as the tailor enhances
fabric. With unrivalled skill and virtuosity, the shoeshine is a
precious ally for all shoe aficionados and lovers of impeccable patina. In
the cosy atmosphere of his salon, aesthetes and perfectionists sit
enthroned on the stately chair while the master bestows a shining
glaze on their shoes. Second Chapter How perfectly must one hold the blade to perfectly rid the
face of its beard while caressing the skin? This precision is akin
to the skill of the best tailors in Paris. In a sophisticated setting,
gentlemen, in chic or casual attire, wait patiently for the ministrations
of a master barber. Third Chapter At a secret address, remote from hustle and bustle, the club
provides a warm and peaceful setting. The door opens to understated and
subtle elegance only revealed by the invisible details that sign
the Smalto suit: perfect balance and fitted lines highlighting the chest and
enhancing the length of the body. The timeless décor is the ultimate
setting for impeccably dressed patrons to savour a perfect brandy. Fourth Chapter At the casino, the most dapper gent follows an accelerated
play of hearts. Clad in his flawless smoking jacket, he has his stakes on
poker and black jack, or tries his luck at a game of roulette. Never letting
any intention known, he wins by flawless gauging and accurate anticipation
of his oppo-nents’ reactions. It is a feat of self-control only equalled by the artisans of the bespoke atelier. Fifth Chapter  Press/image Nicolas DAL SASSO Communication | |
