When those April showers arrive in Milan (just in time for the annual Salone del Mobile), few will be able to resist the brand’s cool parkas, done in a crinkly technical cotton velvet, some with a swirling white Japanese Ainu print, and the nylon jackets, too, which came with a detachable chartreuse marabou feather trim.

Cotton trenchcoats were oversize and cinched with wide, obi-style belts, another influence straight from Japan.
