High-end Italian label Messagerie may not be a world-wide house hold name just yet but their new Autumn/Winter 2009 collection is indication that it’ll be sooner than later before they are. Meaning delivery in French, Messagerie brings forth this elegance and class found in other collections dominated by an abundance of formal wear without being so formal. Lost on that one? Well, the proof is in their extensive look book which only features two suits, one tux, and a handful of jeans. This shows that Messagerie’s direction isn’t centered around one item or theme for this collection. Every look could’ve been worn from the runway out to any city streets and at the end of the day, that level of wearability and simple elegance is what men’s fashion should be all about, just ask Ralph Lauren. The designers at Messagerie seem to understand that concept very well.
