With contributions from more than 30 of Italy's most creative fashion studios, designer Stefano Chiassai reimagines denim as a luxury material replete with untapped stylistic potential
Denim was first manufactured in the late 1800s as the fabric of choice for men who needed a sturdy uniform that could withstand the wear and tear of physical labor. In the years since, it has become a ubiquitous material in all manners of dress, including high fashion. In BlueTailoring, Italian fashion designer Stefano Chiassai traverses the landscape of menswear to find new potentials for the iconic blue fabric in the realm of luxury tailoring. Denim becomes "the object of cross-pollination," a hybrid of materials and unusual techniques that incorporates elevated craftsmanship and new technologies. For this project, Chiassai enlisted the expertise of over 30 Italian companies, providing readers with a snapshot of the country's most vibrant contemporary fashion studios and their cutting-edge designs. Together with these collaborators, Chiassai proposes his own unconventional interpretations of the most popular fabric on the planet.
