“I’m not a traditional designer,” says Stefano Seletti, matter-of-factly, though it’s not a disclaimer. “I always work on the emotional part of design,” he continues. “I’m not a technician.

Some shoes arrive already fully formed while others need to be broken in, shaped by where they go and who wears them. ZEGNA’s new Mocassin falls squarely into the second camp. It’s a loafer that leans into the quiet confidence of Italian style, built to evolve with time. And it’s perhaps in part due to the Mocassin’s construction. The leather is rich but never stiff, refined through traditional tanning methods that prioritise feel as much as function.
