Defining Moments

Ermenegildo Zegna has recently unveiled the second chapter in its Defining Moments campaign, again starring Robert De Niro and welcoming French choreographer and dancer Benjamin Millepied. The collection, as always, embodies everything the Italian luxury fashion house is about. With the US Autumn-Winter 2017 collection reflecting strong emotion and a community-centric voice, we’re treated to a classic and sophisticated look.

“To design a forward-looking men’s fashion wardrobe built around fluidity, freshness and colour but enriched by the possibility of adding your own hint of personality and style, I couldn’t imagine a better place than this courtyard, where I often spent time in my youth reading, writing and sketching.” – Alessandro Sartori, Artistic Director 

“I have a deep personal connection to New York. I was born here, but it also has been a defining place for my career as an actor… That’s why New York is great. People come here because they aspire to be in the city that will give them the freedom to do what they want and realise their aspirations, their dreams.” – Robert De Niro 

“The defining moment for me was meeting Jerry Robbins. I met him when I was 16 and dancing in this piece called Two and Three Part Inventions. He teaches you with simplicity to observe and be spontaneous.” – Benjamin Millepied, Dancer
