The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2024 - Issue 36

bitefashion connection to the world around us, while the collection's lines—from the soft curvature of the Egg to the structured ele- gance of the Kimono—balance form and function. Combining these shapes with rich textures like denim, flannel, and mohair creates a timeless collection deeply relevant to the present mo- ment. Accessories play a crucial role in Zambelli’s vision, adding the final touches to Nexum. From the practical elegance of shop- per bags to the sophisticated flair of natural pearls and silver earrings, each accessory is designed to enhance the overall narrative of the collection. Even the playful inclusion of fish- net stockings and male ankle socks adds a layer of complexity, underscoring the theme of duality throughout the collection. Founded in 2013, the Alberto Zambelli brand has consistently been at the forefront of modern Italian fashion, known for its clean lines, architectural details, and noble materials. Each col- lection is produced entirely within his Km Zero headquarters. Over the past decade, the designer’s relentless pursuit of ex- cellence has earned him recognition as one of the top talents in Milan Fashion Week. With Nexum , he continues to build on this legacy, offering a collection that reflects his past and a glimpse into his future. As the lights dimmed on the Keqiao runway, the collection demonstrated a philosophical statement recognising and cher- ishing the connections that define our existence. Through his masterful blend of aesthetics and function, Zambelli explores the beauty of contrasts and the poetry in life’s silent dialogues. In celebrating his career, he has reminded the world that true luxury lies not in excess but in thoughtful, intentional design that touches the body and the soul. With Nexum , Alberto Zambelli has cemented his place in the annals of fashion and set the stage for a future where connec- tion, in all its forms, remains at the heart of his creative vision. www.albertozambelli.it
