Collection Report Spring/Summer 2006

Fashion-hungry men are looking for prey and are hunting the stylish Red Label Pants. Whether in the sexy 5-pocket look, sportswear style or cool slacks – these trousers will make a good impression at any temperature. A particular summer highlight are the models in a trendy denim wash.

The Black Label by ALBERTO is a synonym for superior men's legwear. The line impresses with its "Basic fit", which incorporates a comfortable waist cut, straight leg and snug fit around the leg. The outstanding comfort of this trouser, which is due to material with an innovative stretch function, makes it even more impressive. The elegant colouring of the range lends a discreet, fresh look.

The models

Everyone should be able to call at least one pair of 5-pocket pants from the ALBERTO range their own. The slanting waistband on the 5-pockets achieves maximum comfort. Two versions with this label are on offer for trendsetters: The casual boot cut model and the sexy straight leg model. New square back pockets with flamboyant contrast stitching accentuate the best side of a man.

Slacks are taking the men's fashion world by storm. Comfortable cotton and wool ensure a comfortable fit. Refined extras such as decorative labelling and detailed interiors will score a hit with every male trendsetter.

With the new Cargo Style, flexible, modern men will be well equipped whatever the weather. The trousers can be worn as a 7/8-length or a 3/4-length garment, should the weather change.

The ALBERTO cult model Ceramica demonstrates that function can also be sexy, and will meet your every need because it is low-maintenance, crease-resistant, bi-elastic and provides UV-protection. Innovative technology balances the trouser temperature: When the weather it hot, it will cool you down and in cooler climes, it will warm you up.

The themes

Stripes, checks & fancy
Sensational stripes in all shapes and colours will adorn men's legs in the Summer of 2006. The Black Label makes a discreet appearance with pinstripes or shadow stripes. Those who prefers something that makes more of a bold statement should settle for Red Label pants. With these models, ALBERTO has delved deep into its colour scheme collection and combined striking tones with trendy stripes. The fancy pants are a highlight of the Spring/Summer collection 2006. Whether decorated with wild prints or colourfully woven, the multicolour pants add a splash of colour.


Cotton
ALBERTO uses cord stripes or fishbone designs to make cotton even more lively during the most beautiful season of the year. The main highlight here is poplin with a climate function. The functional material Coolmax makes the trousers breathable, quick-drying and temperature-reducing.


Linen
Quality is deemed particularly important for linen pants. Stripy designs and colourful checks emphasise the summery character of the light natural fibres.


Wool and wool designs
The most important aspect of these pants is their feel-good factor. The lightness of these models will come as a breath of fresh air to those who prefer to wear wool and wool designs in the summer. Elegant colouring and cool stripy designs lend these cuddly models their attractive appearance.


Denim
Denim is and shall always remain the queen of all fashion materials. ALBERTO proves that blue material does not always have to remain just blue. With authentic washes and casual destroy or 3D effects, the cult label transforms the blue materials into trendy works of art. For denim lovers, ALBERTO offers trousers in almost every variation imaginable: Light cross designs, broken twill, double face, multicount and stripy designs are all on the menu. You can choose to suit your preferences: Lightweight 7 OZ denim models or more fleshy versions weighing up to 13 OZ. Cheeky details and glamorous extras such as coloured buttons, distinctive rivets or used- look holes on the pockets are real eyecatchers. You can tell almost immediately that the denim pants are by ALBERTO: The special distinctive "5-A stitching" on the back pocket makes them unique.
