Berluti<\/a> has created a collection inspired by the author\u2019s preparatory sketches.<\/p>\n\n\tJean-Marc Mansvelt, chief executive officer of Berluti, said the idea was to celebrate shared values. \u201cWhat we wanted to convey about Berluti \u2014 essentiality, loyalty, transmission \u2014 was the very story told by \u2018The Little Prince,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\n\tEven the quote resonated: it was said that Olga Berluti, the footwear brand\u2019s former artistic director, could recognize a client just by his footsteps.<\/p>\n
\n\tAs visitors meandered through the grand 19th-century town house, a fantasy version of Saint-Exup\u00e9ry\u2019s office \u2014 complete with a leather aviator helmet and jacket hanging on a coat rack \u2014 was followed by a dark room lit like a night sky, where bags and wallets were displayed in silver orbs, symbolizing the fictional prince\u2019s journey through space.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe line, which will land in stores for the holiday season, encompasses bags, small leather goods and cashmere shawls, as well as a limited-edition Alessandro loafer embossed with a rose. It features the full breadth of the house\u2019s skills, from laser-etched handwriting to stitching, and aquarelle designs made with Berluti\u2019s signature patina. <\/p>\n
\n\tWhile the brand no longer shows seasonal collections, it continues to present a selection of ready-to-wear, footwear and leather goods, this time based around a garden theme. Floral embroideries crept up the side of a linen Foresti\u00e8re jacket, while all over stitching added depth to a caramel suede calf leather jacket or a short-sleeved blue tunic top.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe emphasis was on ease, down to the accessories, which included a new buffalo leather version of the Lorenzo loafer, and a squishy bag dubbed the Un Jour-nal, to convey the idea of a rolled-up newspaper carried under the arm.<\/p>\n
\n\tAesthetes, meanwhile, will gravitate to the bags flecked with nine different colors, like an Impressionist painting, or the Galet Bloom shoe, whose curved front stitch draws inspiration from the petals of an arum lily. Like \u201cThe Little Prince,\u201d the Berluti customer is always seeking poetry in everyday life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Visitors arriving at the Simone et Cino Del Duca Foundation for Berluti\u2019s annual presentation were greeted by a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[133651,146,11062,85,46,7611],"class_list":["post-508394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-berluti","tag-entertainment","tag-fashion-show-reviews","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-spring"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
