BELSTAFF ADDS ITALIAN STYLE TO NINE
Once again Belstaff is back on the big screen, this time adding Italian style to “Nine”, the incredible new movie from acclaimed director Rob Marshall and multi-award winning producer Harvey Weinstein.

Nine is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), a young American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson) and his mother (Sophia Loren).

Having collaborated with Academy winning costume designer Colleen Atwood on numerous projects including Mission Impossible 3, Sweeney Todd and Public Enemies, Colleen once again turned to Italian based Belstaff to help create the strong Italian look for the male characters.

For the energetic and original dance number “Cinema Italiano” performed by Kate Hudson, one of the highlights of the movie, Belstaff created the sleek and elegant classic “Nine” suits worn by the male dancers throughout the routine.

In keeping with Belstaff’s belief of designing stylish yet functional garments, both the fabric Belstaff sourced locally and the cut of the suit, were designed to withstand the demanding moves put on it by the dancers.

Belstaff also designed the “Marcello” suit, a brand new innovative suit which combines high technique design with an extraordinary elegance, typical of “dolce vita” style.

The Belstaff “Marcello” suit was inspired by the legendary Marcello Mastroianni, one of Italy’s most beloved and renowned actors, celebrated and adored by the film community the world over; a charming man with an irresistible elegance and stature of timeless hero.

As recognition of their collaboration with the movie, the directors of Belstaff, Mr Manuele and Michele Malenotti are given a personal “Thank You” in the credits of the movie.

Nine has been nominated for five Golden Globes including Best Song for “Cinema Italiano” and is in cinemas across Europe now.
