A curated menswear wardrobe
A rare collaboration between Gaziano & Girling and Ermenegildo Zegna, combining the precision of Northampton shoemaking with the Italian house’s modern tailoring sensibility.
Produced as part of a limited collaboration developed with Zegna’s artistic director Alessandro Sartori, the collection paired Gaziano & Girling’s exacting craftsmanship with Zegna’s contemporary aesthetic.
This pair is a classic black derby, one of the most versatile styles in a wardrobe — equally suited to tailoring, business dress, or refined casual wear.
Gaziano & Girling shoes are bench-made in Northampton using traditional techniques, with carefully sculpted lasts, hand-finished uppers and durable leather soles. The result is a shoe that combines elegant proportions with long-term durability.
