There will surely be no kookier inspiration this season than the one Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi found on television one rainy Saturday afternoon. Their menswear collection for Ferré was guided by The Day of the Jackal, the 1973 movie featuring Edward Fox as Charles de Gaulle's intended assassin. Scarcely sartoria incarnate, but something about Fox's amoral stylishness caught the boys' attention. The small lapels on the assassin's jacket showed up at Ferré. So did the sailor top he disguised himself in at one point in the film. He also pretended to be a priest—maybe that's where Aquilano and Rimondi's clerical collar came from.
