Gallery: JOE checks out the exclusive Gagliardi Menswear launch in Arnotts

Recently, JOE co-hosted the top class launch of Gagliardi Menswear, which is exclusive to Arnotts, and some of you guys came along for a gander. Click through the gallery to see if you're there along with the likes of our own Jerry Flannery and Jason Robinson.

The Gagliardi’s Spring / Summer 2013 collection is a carefully assembled selection of suits, jackets, shirts, shorts, trousers and accessories with a strong point of difference: the eclectic range is made exclusively from quality natural fibres, with sartorial details and defined silhouettes throughout.

The connecting thread between each garment is the focus upon fit, the quality of the fabrics and the attention to detail.

The label’s aesthetic stems from a deep appreciation of fine Italian tailoring. The gregarious character known to his many friends as “ il Gagliardi “ who is the inspiration behind the brand was greatly impressed by the nonchalant style and elegance of the gentlemen strolling through the streets of 1950’s Rome, Florence, Milan and his home town of Valletta.

The clever use of colour, cut and fit made a lasting impression upon him and he dreamed of a menswear brand which would capture the natural sartorial flair which initially influenced him and which would create pieces that when put together, look effortless. His dream became a reality in 1964 when the Gagliardi label was launched.

This considered approach is evident in this vibrant Spring/Summer 2013 collection, which is divided into three sections: Business, Weekend, and Evening; with a strong focus on essential fashion staples in each category.
