Italian fashion house KITON presented their KNT Fall Winter 2023.24 Collection with a lookbook unveiled during the recently finished Pitti Uomo. The collection is a journey into the world of formal attire, drawing on the house’s sartorial heritage and exploring iconic menswear styles through a process of analysis, decomposition and recomposition. The result is a rediscovery of the brand’s core aesthetic, re-envisioned with contemporary style codes. Creative directors Walter and Mariano De Matteis revisit the mantra of quality, craftsmanship and Made in Italy – a mantra they have lived by since they were children. They re-propose it by embracing the influences of sportswear and technical clothing, creating a collection poised between formal and informal, with a subtle twist of dandy style and based on an accurate vision of modern men’s needs and desires.
FALL WINTER 2023.24 MENSWEAR COLLECTIONS
The technical and creative challenge of this collection was to uniquely interpret the garments traditionally worn by the men in our family, maintaining essential values like quality and Italian savoir-faire and fusing them with certain trends we like and pick up from observing the men we encounter on our travels, all the way from Europe and Asia to the United States. – Walter De Matteis
Two capsule collections are also being presented this season, representing a preview of the collection available in selected stores from April 2023: the collection, a sell-out success from SS23, is flanked by a range of garments characterized by the figure of an Asian warrior, again inspired by Mariano De Matteis’ travels in China and a symbol of pride, tradition and honor. Three colors are featured, focusing on the purity of black and white, plus a version in warm beige.
