Gethsemane AW 2021 menswear deepens the Venice Lido digital format into a protective procession. Leather, shearling, cashmere and other guarded surfaces become zip hoods pulled to the eyes, second-skin bodysuits and cropped duvet coats. The filmed seafront route and ossuary-church context give the collection a biblical pressure without turning it into costume. It balances armour and vulnerability: the body is covered, zipped and insulated, yet still exposed through tight layers and the starkness of the Lido setting.
