Zegna

Established in 1910 by Ermenegildo Zegna in the small town of Trivero, Italy, Zegna has grown to become one of the most renowned names in luxury men's fashion. Initially founded as a textile company with a vision to create the finest fabrics in the world, Ermenegildo Zegna meticulously sourced the highest quality materials, introducing novel agricultural techniques to improve the quality of raw materials like wool and cashmere.

In the 1930s, the company expanded its operations to include complete production cycles from raw material to finished product, a strategy that ensured unprecedented quality control and innovation. By the 1950s, Zegna fabrics had found favor among top couturiers and textile enthusiasts across the globe, and the company began exporting its fine textiles internationally.

The 1960s marked a significant evolution. The company entered the realm of ready-to-wear clothing, producing high-end suits that soon became synonymous with elegance and craftsmanship. Under the leadership of Ermenegildo’s sons, Aldo and Angelo, Zegna grew into an international powerhouse, launching flagship stores in Paris, New York, and Tokyo in the subsequent decades.

The 1980s and 1990s saw further expansion and diversification. Zegna ventured into the eyewear and fragrance markets and formed strategic partnerships and acquisitions that solidified its presence in the luxury goods sector. They acquired the brand Thom Browne in 2018, further cementing their status in the global fashion industry.

Throughout its history, Zegna has maintained a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, encapsulated in the Oasi Zegna, a natural preserve in the Biellese Alps aimed at preserving the natural habitat and promoting sustainable tourism. Today, under the guidance of the fourth generation of the Zegna family, the company continues to innovate while retaining its core values of quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
