Quiet, classic and elegant. Canali livens up blurred woollen contours in traditional whites, jet blacks and pebble greys through a touch of intense blue and bright cyclamen. Go snug in carded cashmere, svelte mohair and soft angora: Canali's Autumn/Winter 2006 collection is clearly a warm blend of formal urban wear and of the relaxed refinement of the country.

Coloured pinstripes take turns to enhance coats and jackets with narrow lapels and slender waistlines. Sleek casual fabrics like silk Donegal tweed, carded and buttoned wool appear in form fitting jackets in a soothing medley of mossy green, olive green and mustard with flecks of warm beige and even checkered patterns. The Capri collection flaunts contemporary cuts - the overlapping sleeve and button, an innovative tribute to Neapolitan tradition, rubs shoulders with classical leather patches, matching stitches and precious buttons. Coats revel in a rendezvous with the past through impeccable cuts in printed fabrics - contrasting striped weaves, Saxony, Damier check design....

Canali breathes sheer class through bluish grey suits, crew and polo neck sweaters in reversible cashmere and cardigans with sheepskin fringed patterns. Keen, youthful detailing is evident in suede undercollars, leather trimmings, cashmere scarves, merino sweatshirts and sleek bomber jackets with woollen cuffs. Zipper sweaters and argyle prints make the suave collection contemporary. You will find alluring accents of trench and military overcoats in waterproof winter jackets; a flash of sass in button down shirts and casual trousers in classic blacks interspersed with reds and oranges in sportswear and ties in green and lilac silk in a soft woolly appearance.

Colour flirts with classical models in footwear too - through the yellow and purple lining, embossed pumps and combination of suede leather and nylon with leather inserts. And if you are bored of using leather, then opt for the crocodile print in sole talkers and raven black in accessories. Unbeatably Canali.
