To turn classic tailoring into fashion is a hard job. All the Italian brands like Canali, Corneliani or Pal Zileri can attest to that. Should they show at Pitti where their core clientele is or in Milan or Paris where the fashion is? Aldo Maria Camillo has a beautiful CV with jobs at Valentino men’s, Cerruti, Berluti and Caruso and now with his own label AMC which stands for modern tailoring with a fashion edge has found his answer. He lives, works, and shows in Paris which gives him the necessary fashion culture and makes his pieces in Italy with the best manufacturers and fabrics.

With his new collection he has hit the sweet spot of turning suiting into fashion by tackling sustainability. He used one hundred percent recycled yarn from ocean plastic by an Italian company called Olmatex and showed a small and focused collection of amazing pieces in black, army green and red in a courtyard in the cool tenth arrondisement. Let’s call it archetypes of clothing with blousons, work wear shirts and roomy double-breasted jackets and slightly banana shaped pants which sat tight at the waist and had volume around the leg ending snug around the ankle.

To add a luxury layer he made tank tops from cashmere in earth colors and white. There was also a few slightly oversized mohair jackets to help him show his mastery of cut and line, the foundation of tailoring.
