A tribute to the jacket with chest piece invented by Corneliani 10 years ago: by now, it has become iconic and although it can be interpreted in different ways, it remains faithful to itself and always delivers what it promises. As embracing Corneliani’s style may be like belonging to an exclusive club, the 2018 Spring/Summer collection is inspired by the concept of shared passion.

We have come up with five new jackets with chest pieces inspired by five passions that, despite being different, all reflect the idea of classy lifestyle. Each jacket will feature an element linked to five different themes: vintage cars, motorcycles, golf, sailing and horse riding. Whether it is the choice of technical fabric, or other distinguishing features, the reference is clear, with a touch of subtle elegance and comfort in any moment of our leisure time.

PASSIONS

Two filmmakers Vincent & Kristell (V&K) have made a film that will accompany us on our emotional journey.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to be saved (…) who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn”. Jack Kerouac.

Five different men, three cities (London, Milan and Paris) and five different passions: these are the elements that inspired and guided us throughout.

The film contains mementos, perspectives, city views and interviews that come together to form something of a mosaic characterised by the central theme of passion; an emotion that, despite taking different forms, unites us all and enables us to take on and overcome the triviality of everydayness with its continuous challenges. Whether it is finding the right words, coming up with the right ideas or intuition that leads to career success, passion is key in being able to make sense of the seemingly incomprehensible in an urban landscape that may otherwise overwhelm us.
