ON-DUTY DENIM

Denim has long been a ubiquitous part of any off-duty wardrobe, but now it’s sneaking into our workwear, too. At Max Mara, a lightweight take on indigo selvedge denim was tailored into a sharp blazer, a sleek jumpsuit, an elegant duster coat. At Fendi, ruffled denim was shaped into a trench/dress hybrid, at Brunello Cucinelli, it was satin-trimmed as waistcoat and blazer. And, of course, there was the denim worn off the catwalk by the journalists watching, which offered even more variations on the theme.

That being said, there were two commonalities to all of them: a dark indigo wash and a structured silhouette, without a torn knee or bleached patch in sight. CGE
