Talk:Trussardi

Modern Collections
Hi everyone. Reading the article I noticed that the Modern Collection section is not updated. All products are promoted as one label: Trussardi (as indicated here and here). I would leave the Trussardi collection in the foreground and move Tru Trussardi and Trussardi Jeans into a subsection dedicated to previous collections.

Find below a proposal to update the section which I would simply rename "Collections". I have highlighted the changes and additions made in yellow. What do you think about this? Thank you very much for your help :) --Stephanie Epiro (talk) 14:52, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Modern Collections
In May 2021, with the appointment of Serhat Işik and Benjamin A. Huseby as new creative directors, the brand has started a new course under a single label, Trussardi. Current collections for the fashion house are Trussardi, Tru Trussardi, and Trussardi Jeans. Each of these lines has their own stand-alone stores and covers different aspects of the house's customer base: traditional, a younger crowd, and casual. The company also had a third line that has since closed labeled "Tru Trussardi".

Trussardi
Trussardi is the mainline collection of the fashion house, which releases the group's ready-to-wear line and couture collections. It designs clothing for both men and women. The 2014 collection was partially inspired by the films of Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. Nicole Phelps wrote of the Trussardi line that, "The Trussardi family business is one of Italy's ultimate heritage houses, with a century-plus history of leather goods artisanship."

Trussardi Junior
Trussardi Junior is the fashion house's children's clothing line, first released in 1983 alongside the company's first ready-to-wear collections. There are two collections for Trussardi Junior, the main collection and the top collection. In 2013 Trussardi licensed the creation of the line to Italian fashion house Pinco Pallino through 2018. The recent partnership with Brave Kid (of OTB group) was launched with the first fall winter 2017/18 collection.

Home design
For home décor Trussardi also produced MY Design, with the MY standing for industrial designer Michael Young. His collection was released in 2011, and was inspired by Nicola's work on the interior of aircraft in the 1980s. Trussardi Casa, the collection's current furniture line, was released and presented in 2014 at the Milan Furniture Fair. In 2016 Trussardi launched a partnership with Dynamic Yachts to produce, through Trussardi Casa, a whole collection designed for D4 vessels.

Past collections

 * Tru Trussardi - Tru Trussardi was the house's more casual collection, with its own stand alone stores. Tru Trussardi releases clothing and accessories. As part of the corporate restructuring carried out in 2016, the Tru Trussardi line was closed.
 * Trussardi Jeans - Trussardi Jeans is the denim line for the fashion house, founded in 1986. The line produces casual wear for both men and women.

Licensed Collections
Hi everyone, regarding the Collections section, I think it would perhaps be even more appropriate to leave only Trussardi among the collections and move Trussardi Junior and Home design to the Partnerships and licenses section. As is highlighted in the text, these are in fact licenses legally held by other companies and not lines directly developed by the company. Furthermore, in order not to lose the information currently present on the page, the first paragraph of Home design could be added to the History section as it refers to historical information more than to the specific partnership developed.

Please kindly find below a possible reorganisation of the order of information. I have highlighted in yellow the information that is currently available for Trussardi Junior and Home design which I have placed under History and Partnerships and licences.

Let me know your thoughts and thank you for your kind support. -- Stephanie Epiro (talk) 14:15, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * ✅. I did not see mention of 1980s aircraft inspiring the MY Design collection in the sources provided. I found and added a source that says Trussardi's 1980s and 1990s designs inspired the 2011 collection, and revised the sentence to reflect this. I omitted the W Magazine source because the link is dead. I left the sentence about Trussardi Casa's release in the Collections section so it still held a place there, like the other collections do. Also, I spaced and arranged the partnerships content in chronological order and edited the highlighted sentences to avoid redundancy/wordiness.
