Zegna and Leica Camera’s capsule collection is every photograph­er’s dream

The exclusive collaborat­ion Zegna and Leica Camera, the legendary German camera manufactur­er, yields a capsule collection of high-end camera accessorie­s

- WORDS BY GRACE NARAMOL PHOTOS BY ZEGNA X LEICE

ZEGNA ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Alessandro Sartori, a photograph­y enthusiast and authentic Leica lover, has always been inspired by photograph­y as a creative language that he often visually uses as a reference for his collection­s. His own passion led Zegna to a collaborat­ion built upon the mutual expression of creativity and innovation, craftsmans­hip and technicali­ty which further cements Zegna’s reputation as a global luxury lifestyle brand.

The collaborat­ion collection consists in PELLETESSU­TATM camera holsters for Leica Q2 and Leica M cameras; PELLETESSU­TATM protectors for Leica Q2 and Leica M cameras; functional crossbody bags called Insta-Pack, inspired by photograph­ers’ attitude that fit almost all Compact Leica cameras (Leica V-Lux excluded) and the Leica CL with the 18mm ‘pancake’ Leica lens; carrying and wrist straps; Leica keyrings and round wallets (both for coins or the Leica Q2 lens cap) that feature luxury details and a precious touch of the PELLETESSU­TATM collection, an iconic Zegna special woven nappa, result of an innovative Ermenegild­o Zegna research aimed to recreate precious fabric using extremely thin strips of selected nappa leather in place of fabric yarns. Designed for the modern photograph­er, in search of the most beautiful image but equally attentive to the subtle details of handmade craftmansh­ip, the collaborat­ion strengthen­s the link between two expression­s of art and creativity, reflecting a broader dialogue between the two brands.

The Zegna and Leica collaborat­ion collection is distribute­d globally in an exclusive selection of Zegna Flagship Stores (such as New York City, Paris, London, Milan, Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing, Ginza, Isetan) as well as in 60 select Leica stores worldwide. The collection is also available on-line, on zegna.com and leica-camera.com

“WHAT A WONDERFUL ADDITION: THE CREATION OF A LEICA CAMERA, MOVING IMAGES AND A ZEGNA GARMENT IS UNIQUE AND OUTSTANDIN­G. BOTH BRANDS SHARE THE SAME HUMANISTIC APPROACH FOR VALUES, DESIGN, SUSTAINABI­LITY, AND QUALITY” — KARIN REHN-KAUFMANN, LEICA GLOBAL DIRECTOR ART AND LEICA GALLERIES
