The Squarzi Archive
by Murray Crane
One thing that always strikes me when I visit the Fortela showroom is the breadth of archival pieces on display and how they influence the Fortela design process. The Squarzi Archive captures the essence of American heritage through Alessandro Squarzi’s unique perspective, covering a remarkable range of garments—from military to workwear, athletic to western. Squarzi’s collection, spanning styles from the 1920s to the 1980s, highlights the evolution of American fashion with a refined Italian twist.
We’re thrilled to have an advance copy of Alessandro Squarzi’s much-anticipated new book in store—a stunning visual showcase of his 6,000-piece American vintage collection.
This beautifully bound hardback invites readers into Squarzi’s world, illustrating his journey in vintage curation through 350 vivid colour images across 176 pages. From rugged automotive looks to equestrian elegance, each piece reflects Squarzi's unmatched passion for American vintage with a cosmopolitan flair. With insights into his creative process and everyday styling routine, this book is a must-have for fashion aficionados and vintage lovers alike.
Size: 8.5in x 11.0in | Pages: 176 | 350 colour images
