MEET THE CREATOR: ADAM APPUGLIESI

WRITTEN BY: BRENT PHAKOUSONH

Adam Appugliesi’s Toronto-based fashion brand Libero unveils an opulent Spring/Summer collection for 2025, presenting a sartorial range of men’s formalwear that’s timeless and suave, dressing up any individual for a memorable escapade in the city.

NBA superstar Stephen Curry has already been seen wearing Libero’s blue wool-woven Azzurro blouson and their limited “Pre-Construction” Le Mans racing-inspired zipper jacket. Perhaps, we’ll see the 3-point phenom in their latest sleek sage green denim jacket with matching tonal buttons, which is readily available for purchase at the Press Market Pop-up at Organic Press Cafe, 708 Annette St, from Thursday June 19 to Sunday June 22 (follow their Instagram for updates).





Libero’s latest collection evokes class and versatility. Designing a long-sleeved pinstripe button-down in two colour ways that are perfect for the summertime: Striscia Rosa is rose pink; Striscia Verde is sage green; both made for formal fine-dining and rooftop patio parties with the city skyline basking in the background. You can easily couple this with their classic straight-legged trousers and a chrome-encompassed 100% cinturra terra belt, which is offered in an array of brown shades: espresso, caramel, and terra (Earth).

A fun, note-worthy accessory that Libero has released is a Briscola card deck, a traditional Italian trick-taking game that pays an homage to Appugliesi’s cultural roots, reminding everyone to acknowledge their foundation first.

The hot summer days of Toronto didn’t deter Libero from designing anything short of tailored mastery. With all the products being designed and made in Canada, it is patriotically satisfying to know that we’re able to experience such exquisite craftsmanship that’s just right around the corner.

Time and time again, Libero has proven their expertise within the realm of formal menswear, continuously contributing to contemporary fashion culture with their intricate design choices. I wonder what else the fashion label has in store for us in the near future.

But if one thing is for certain, it’s that Libero is here to craft garments to withstand many, many lifetimes. Check out their latest collection on their website today.
