Against the dramatic backdrop of a runway dressed in a cascade of red hues, the ISAIA fall-winter 2024 collection emerges as “Morto ISAIA, Viva ISAIA.” It’s a nod to the ceremonial rebirth of the brand and a tribute to the irreverent spirit of Neapolitan icon Massimo Troisi.
The ISAIA collection embodies a rich palette that begins with the foundational navy and charcoal, visible in the pinstriped suits and tailored pants that carry the brand’s signature blend of tradition and innovation.
These grounded hues are elevated by including cerulean and burgundy, which add depth and a hint of rebellion to the classic silhouettes.
ISAIA’s menswear speaks to a balance between revival and timelessness. A houndstooth blazer paired with a chunky turtleneck and relaxed trousers articulates a modern twist on a classic pattern, indicative of the creative reawakening synonymous with the New Napoli movement of the 1980s.
ISAIA Fall/Winter 2024 Collection
Luxurious textures elevate the season from the opulent hand-stitched suede of a trench coat to the plush Casentino wool on a statement overcoat. The tactile experience is not just seen but felt, inviting touch and closer inspection.
Turtlenecks underpin the looks, proposing practical layering for the cooler months and indicative of a considered introspective yet outwardly expressive style. In a striking move, ISAIA extends its color exploration beyond the garments themselves, as CEO Gianluca Isaia notes, treating color as the first step in the design process.
Throughout the designs, there’s a harmonious interplay of the classic and the avant-garde, mirroring the ethos of the New Napoli movement—an intertwining of the past and the present to shape the future.
