“Law & Order” star Christopher Meloni says Canali cashmere is the next best thing to being naked

For 90 years, Canal has been the soft power of fashion. The Italian heritage house, founded in 1934 by brothers Giovanni and Giacomo Canali, embraces a flexible approach to clothing and an environmentally friendly supply chain.

Equally soft is its famous cashmere, molded into cozy sweaters and cut into impeccable suits and coats.

“Wearing cashmere is second best to being naked,” “Law & Order: Organized Crime” star Christopher Meloni told Alexa at the company’s 90th anniversary cocktail party inside the Bryant Park Glass House on Tuesday night . He added that he was wearing “full Canali with Northeast flair.”

Rupert Friend, who is filming the upcoming Jurassic World Rebirth, was also dressed in head-to-toe Canali. “It’s a very, very soft suit that feels like a bridge between summer and winter,” the actor said. “I like wearing a suit for inappropriate reasons,” he continued. “I like wearing a suit to take pizza home on Tuesdays.”

To celebrate its big anniversary, the house unveiled a capsule showcasing two of the house’s most iconic pieces: the overcoat and the suit. Their fabrics—including lighter versions of an archival smooth wool and a water-treated blend—were developed exclusively for fall.

“At Canali, gentleness is a philosophy and it stems together with respect from the family values ​​that form the core of our brand,” president and CEO Stefano Canali, a member of the third generation to run the company, told Alexa. “When it comes to the design and construction of a garment, our goal is to strike the perfect balance between structure and softness. This is achieved through meticulous craftsmanship, where each piece is tailored using the finest materials – such as luxurious blends of wool, silk and cashmere – that naturally lend themselves to a soft feel.

“These materials have been carefully applied not only to suits and overcoats, but also to our accessories, including bags and sneakers,” says Canali.

The palette combines sophisticated shades of gray with Brianza green. “[This is] a signature shade that highlights our deep connection with the territory,” noted the CEO, referring to the leafy area in northwest Lombardy Italy between Milan and Lake Como, where the company is headquartered.

The six-look collection also features luxe five-pocket jeans in cashmere-blend denim, a braided and striped cashmere sweater, a super-slim cashmere button-down shirt, and corduroy pants in cotton and wool, among others necessary. Each Italian-made piece has “Canali90th” embroidered on the inside and a swan coat logo.
