RUNWAY: Berluti SS17

Alessandro Sartori has left Berluti and returned to Ermenegildo Zegna, therefore the design team created Berluti's SS17 collection which was decidedly sportier and more athletic-minded than previous outings. The focus on athleticism showcased sandals, sneakers and a brogue style that didn't quite evoke the richness of the label's heritage and the associated cost of owning the footwear, which is the company's bread and butter. A stronger view point and focus is surely needed to make this LVMH-owned label stand out against its competitors.
