ITALIAN brand Canali, masters of tailor-made luxury and male elegance, have enlisted social media influencers Carlo Sestini, Marcel Floruss and Chris John Millington to star in their AW18 collection film titled Crossroads.
For over 80 years, Canali has used innovation to achieve aesthetic tailored perfection, continuously renewing its styles with a meticulous attention to detail and the use of premium fabrics to create what it refers to as “male elegance” like no other.
The new short piece follows three men who live in the same contemporary building, but never meet. Each embody a different persona of the Canali man – the globetrotter, the businessman and the creative. The influencers fabricate their characters through distinctly different – yet inherently Canali – ensembles featuring the AW18 collection. Each character holds a mirror to the influencer’s own personal style, reflecting their carefully curated Instagram pages – boasting hundreds of thousands of followers – through the curated lens of the luxury tailoring brand’s film.
The differentiation of each character’s style and manner explored through bold cinematography and impeccable styling reveals the collection’s dynamic power: it’s ability to cater to the variant tastes of these diverse individuals, revealing the true versatility of Canali.
