This passion led Zegna to collaborate with Leica, one that's built upon the mutual expression of creativity and innovation, craftsmanship and technicality that further cements both brands as powerhouses in their respective fields.
Making its debut in January 2020 on the runway of the Ermenegildo Zegna XXX Winter 2020 Fashion Show, the highly anticipated design is made for the modern photographer, in search of the most beautiful image but is equally attentive to the subtle details of handmade craftsmanship and this collaboration strengthens the link between the two expressions of art and creativity, ultimately reflecting a broader dialogue between the two brands.
