Kiton presented its collection as part of an exhibition of photographs and videos that showed its Neapolitan tailors hard at work. They turned out a novel silhouette inspired by the house’s original designs from the Seventies: double-breasted suits in fine vicuna fabrics with bold lapels — and a slimmer fit to appeal to younger clients.
While gray with touches of burgundy and emerald green were the colors of choice for the main collection, Kiton’s Cipa 1960 line let it loose with floral patterns, bolder checks and richer colors, including blood red and mustard. A pair of knickerbockers matched with a double-breasted vest, pocket square and woolen socks had a whiff of aristo-glam, suggesting a nobleman gone fishing in the Alpine countryside.
