fortela

the milanese brand fortela by fashion and street style icon alessandro squarzi fuses italian sense of style with classic military-, work- and sportswear. for vintage fan alessandro, fortela is rather an attitude than a fashion label. it is about how men can dress well and stylishly without looking boring or – the other extreme – unmanly. "as a man you can't wear much of what's in fashion today - at least if you don't want to look like you're doing gymnastics," says squarzi. and he shows us how to do it right every day. fortela's white jeans and denim shirt are casually combined with alden tassel loafers and a vintage field jacket. never boring, never unmanly, always in style. all fortela products are made by hand "fatto amano" in small workshops in italy with the collaboration of japanese craftsmen.
