The Spark of Florence
If there is one place where sartorial creativity is expressed without restraint, it is at Pitti Uomo in Florence. It was at the heart of this international event, which we visit every season, that this project came to life. Over the course of the various editions, one thing became clear: our creativity and the style of our collections should not be conceived in isolation. They needed to be enriched by the perspectives and keen eye of the leading figures in this world.
We therefore brought together a quartet that inspires us deeply, at the crossroads of generations and cultures.
On one hand, Guillaume Bo and Franco Mazzetti, two historic and indispensable figures at Pitti Uomo, who embody a respect for proportions, the passing on of tradition, and the memory of classic style. On the other, Magno Scavo and Kevis Manzi, rising stars who are shaking up the conventions with a modern, bold and refreshing perspective.
Behind the Scenes of the Creation
To bring this collection to life, we worked closely with our ambassadors, selecting each fabric to suit their individual style. Together, we have designed twelve complete looks across the seasons, incorporating suits as well as high-end overcoats to offer a variety of styling options. Our team brought all their technical expertise to bear during the fitting process to ensure the cuts and drape were tailored to each individual’s unique style. From the choice of fabrics sourced from the world’s leading drapers right down to the buttons and linings, every detail was meticulously discussed to create outfits that truly reflect who they are.
4 prominent figures
Magno Scavo
Originally from Venezuela and now living in Spain, Magno Scavo has made a name for himself on the international scene thanks to an innate sense of style that combines charisma and modernity. He perfectly embodies the man of today, capable of navigating between styles with remarkable ease. His aesthetic is based on a skilful blend of casual, smart and refined styles, making elegance not only vibrant but accessible in everyday life.
For Magno, the Blandin & Delloye adventure began with a real love at first sight at Pitti Uomo. He was immediately won over by the energy of a team of his own generation, sharing a common ambition: to develop a strong identity within a stimulating and authentic working environment.
Guillaume Bo
A leading figure in the world of bespoke tailoring, the French designer Guillaume Bo is a purist when it comes to elegance. Far removed from fleeting trends, he is dedicated to cultivating an eye for style and passing on the art of bespoke tailoring. His style, rich and indefinable, lies at the crossroads between the British Gentleman Farmer, French rigour and a subtle touch of American boldness.
Guillaume chose to join our house for its strategic and human-centred vision. He applauds Blandin & Delloye’s ambition to expand internationally whilst maintaining a rare agility and closeness to the customer. For him, offering exceptional sartorial quality at affordable prices is the foundation of an exciting venture.
Kevis Manzi
Kevis Manzi brings a breath of fresh air and renewal to Parisian chic. A recognised expert in fabrics and silhouettes, he redefines the contours of contemporary elegance with a disarming freedom. His style, both authentic and avant-garde, emphasises the quality of the fabrics and plays on a relaxed fluidity that never compromises the precision of the cut.
What appealed to Kevis above all was the open-mindedness and authenticity of our house. He describes Blandin & Delloye as a brand that safeguards its values yet remains resolutely accessible. Simplicity in excellence and the passionate dedication of our teams were the catalysts for this natural collaboration.
Franco Mazzetti
A global icon and respected figure in the Italian fashion world, Franco Mazzetti embodies the very essence of Florentine chic. For him, men’s fashion is not burdened by the superfluous: it is all about balance, proportions and identity. It is this constant quest for harmony that makes him an absolute benchmark across the globe.
Franco sees Blandin & Delloye as the ideal bridge for passing on sartorial culture to new generations. Impressed by our ability to make classic style modern and appealing to younger people, he highlights the perfect balance achieved by the brand. He wants to help everyone express their own identity through pieces that respect tradition whilst looking to the future.
