A Legacy Woven in Gold: Vellus Aureum
In a seamless blend of heritage and modernity, ZEGNA proudly presents its Winter 2025 collection, drawing inspiration from its storied past and relentless pursuit of excellence. At the heart of this collection lies Vellus Aureum, a textile jewel that embodies the brand’s commitment to crafting the world’s finest wool. Originating from the Wool Trophy Awards established in 1963 by Ermenegildo Zegna in Australia, Vellus Aureum symbolizes the continuous quest for perfection, much like the mythical Golden Fleece of Jason and the Argonauts.
ZEGNA’s dedication to achieving extraordinary standards has culminated in the 2023 world record for the finest single wool fleece, measured at an astonishing 9.4 microns. The Winter 2025 collection pays homage to this legacy, with a runway presentation that evokes the lush Australian landscapes, seamlessly blending nature and craftsmanship.
Artistic Vision and Sartorial Excellence
Under the creative direction of Alessandro Sartori, ZEGNA’s latest collection explores the intricate relationship between style, history, and craftsmanship. Sartori reimagines the wardrobe of the brand’s founder, infusing it with contemporary silhouettes while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. This approach reflects ZEGNA’s ethos of innovation intertwined with heritage.
“Fashion is both creative and behavioral,” Sartori explains. “Each collection is an opportunity to revisit our roots and give new meaning to our legacy. This season, our focus is on blending emotional and material values to create garments that resonate across generations.”
The Collection: Timeless Elegance with a Modern Touch
ZEGNA’s Winter 2025 collection redefines classic menswear with an emphasis on effortless sophistication and Italian flair. The deconstructed silhouettes, generous volumes, and reimagined proportions present a modern yet timeless appeal. Key elements of the collection include:
- Tailored Innovation: Deconstructed blazers with low, two-button closures and oversized coats with plush cashfur collars.
- Layered Knitwear: Deep V-neck sweaters layered over crisp shirts, offering a nonchalant yet refined aesthetic.
- Textural Richness: Luxurious fabrics such as wool cashmere, Oasi Cashmere, and cotton corduroy, creating a tactile and visually compelling experience.
- Evolving Icons: The signature Il Conte jacket, now available in shearling, as a gilet, and in a chore Oasi Cashmere jersey version.
- Color Palette: A harmonious blend of neutral tones like fossile, ginepro, and castoro, complemented by rich accents of Gattinara red and terracotta.
Italian Sophistication Meets Global Inspiration
This season, ZEGNA draws inspiration from the cultural and stylistic richness of Turin, infusing the collection with a distinctly “Torinese” attitude. The designs reflect a studied casualness, merging decades of craftsmanship with a fresh perspective on contemporary dressing. Whether through washed Oxford suits that exude lived-in charm or the effortless layering of knitwear, each piece tells a story of refined yet approachable luxury.
A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Sustainability
In line with ZEGNA’s commitment to responsible luxury, the Winter 2025 collection incorporates sustainable practices without compromising on elegance. The use of ethically sourced Oasi Cashmere and innovative fabric treatments ensures that each piece meets the highest standards of sustainability and quality.
