Camel outerwear meets understated elegance on the November 2026 cover of Grazia Italia, where Clara McGregor wears Fay with a quiet confidence that befits the heritage behind the garment. The camel wool blend piece, layered over a cream knit and fastened with Fay’s signature hooks, speaks to the brand’s philosophy of marrying function with refined casualness, drawing a direct line from American workwear roots to contemporary Italian tailoring.
The brand’s history dates back to the early 1980s in the US, when Diego and Andrea Della Valle discovered the work jackets worn by the Maine fire department and, realising their potential, took over the Fay brand, a specialist producer of technical garments for fishermen and firefighters, bringing it to Italy with a very clear idea: to adapt workwear into the urban environment. The work jacket became an excellent solution for city life, and was soon elevated to cult status in capitals worldwide: the “Fay 4 Ganci”.
What began as utilitarian protection for those facing the elements transformed, under the Della Valle vision, into something altogether different: garments designed for movement through cities, built with the same meticulous attention to construction but elevated through material innovation and architectural precision. The four metal hooks remain unchanged, a visual anchor to that original spirit, yet they now close garments conceived for navigating modern life rather than battling Maine winters.
The iconic jacket has constantly been redesigned and is now accompanied by a clothing range focusing on outerwear that stands out for materials with technical treatments, painstaking attention to detail and ultra practical designs. McGregor’s choice of Fay for this editorial moment reflects how contemporary elegance often dwells in that space between heritage and restraint, where quality whispers rather than shouts, and where the confidence to wear something beautifully made speaks louder than logos or flourish.
