PARIS, Jan 26, 2010 / FW/ — As always, at Cerruti, fine tailoring is the key; trends and fads may come and go but Cerruti’s masterful tailoring can always be counted upon to stay.

That said, it will also be good to mention that this season, Cerruti is on trend and actually setting trends on its own. First, the priest collar knitted sweater wherein the turtleneck was designed to make it look like a priest’s collar.

Second, the sleeveless suit; worn with pullover sweaters, it’s actually being formal and hip at the same time. And, did I mention that ties are optional.

Third, metallics; Cerruti made it dull instead of brilliant so there is a certain somberness to it.
