AUTUMN WINTER 2011- 2012 COLLECTION
‘Urban Sports Wear, Design & Technological Innovation’
The Autumn Winter 2011-2012 Zegna Sport Collection fuses technical sport inspired design with quality and comfort, always perfectly balancing a sporty and urban lifestyle look for the leisure needs of today’s modern man, who likes to be comfortable yet sophisticated.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
‘THERMOTENE’, Zegna Sport’s latest cutting edge innovation.
A revolutionary ultra-high performance fabric that absorbs the sunlight’s infrared rays, transforming them into heat energy. This ingenious technology utilizes energy which has travelled over 149.6 million km to create and maintain warmth.
RECYCLE
‘ECO-WARMER’, the new “sustainable project” by Zegna Sport.
Made by 100% recycled contents which are used for padding, lining, outer fabric, seam taping and the inner collar hood to provide an ecologically sustainable “green” product – protecting both the wearer and his environment.
INNOVATIVE COMBINATIONS
‘IDRO NAPPA JACKET’, combines ultra soft lamb nappa with lightshell nylon to give a wearable look to luxury outerwear.
The Zegna Sport ‘KNITWEAR’ uses Lightshell water repellent nylon combined with the most precious merino wool to give an aesthetic look for performance driven apparel.
Quilted ultra soft leather changes the idea of a sport bag into an urban lifestyle accessory. Looking back to the most appreciated styles Zegna Sport creates a wide range of bags and backpacks embellished with hardware details in satinized metal.
Zegna Sport sneakers are the result of advanced research from innovative materials to complete an urban look with a sporty touch given by ultra-light and comfortable constructions.

Prada has been known as an Italian fashion label specializing in luxury goods for men and women. From red carpet affairs to casual city walks, celebrities don the latest from Prada to stay in the latest in the fashion circuit. For the première of ‘Contagion’ at the 68th edition of the Venice Film Festival, Actress Gwyneth Paltrow dazzled in a gorgeous Prada gown. This gown features an interesting design with its T-back bow detail. She complemented this stunning gown with a light pink Prada ‘Cipria Raso’ hard-case clutch and matching patent leather Prada peep-toe platforms. She opted for minimal but chic makeup –a slick of pink lipstick, which helped brighten up her look and a sophisticated side swept hairstyle.
Gwyneth Paltrow continued her winning fashion streak at the Venice Film Festival as she looked picture perfect when she stepped out on the red carpet for the photo call of “Contagion.” She glowed in a coral Prada mini dress. Her ensemble features bunched, balloon-style half sleeves and is cinched at the waist with a black belt. She couldn’t be more summer appropriate as she wore her blonde hair in a casual straight style and chose light but totally flawless makeup.
