When sporting performance and institutional image meet on a global stage.

Great performances deserve settings that match their stature. Above all, they deserve a visual identity capable of telling their story.

At the World Rowing Awards ceremony – which crowned the Italian men’s quadruple sculls as the Men’s Crew of the Year – Canali dressed Andrea Panizza and Luca Chiumento, athletes represented by AYANA and leading figures in world rowing.

An institutional, international, symbolic moment. Here, style becomes language, and clothing turns into storytelling: understated elegance, precision, and conscious Italian identity.

The collaboration with Canali stems from a shared vision: celebrating excellence without ostentation, putting what truly matters – value, history, identity – front and center. AYANA curated the intersection between sporting performance and the fashion world, ensuring consistency between the athlete’s image and the brand’s positioning.

This case study represents an example of an evolved brand partnership, where nothing is left to chance and every choice helps reinforce the perception of athletes as ambassadors of style, culture, and performance.
