The return of Smalto men
access_time 00:02:02

Francesco smalto, an allure, a unique style, the carnation buttonhole. the exception is in the details, quality finishes and the finest materials, an elegance that is sensed, but isn’t displayed.since july 2016, it’s eric bergère the eclectic and exciting designer, who has the immense honor of renewing this eternal male, the symbol of french elegance. interview with eric bergère when bernard flobert proposed that i rejoin the house of smalto, i didn’t hesitate for a second, because like every designer, i always dreamed, even when i was at school, of becoming a great couturier one day. the idea that i made everything right away of francesco smalto, it was alain delon, belmondo, in the 70s, dressed by francesco smalto. it’s the strong, powerful but elegant man and still a very structured silhouette. i truly did archivist and scientific work in order to see what was magical about this jacket. and then leaving this jacket, to transpose a series of models inspired by this jacket, but keeping with the times, with that we can hold on to a new use for a suit, how to wear it in a less strict way, less structured, less constructed at the beginning, but brings it’s versions in 2016i really like to give a spirit to the clothes, so that these clothes can be worn in a light way, but light in the sense with the spirit, why not have touches of humor in the details, in the colours, in the associations…my mission is to make a lighter and more enjoyable life.
