Ermenegildo
Zegna is a luxury Italian men’s suiting company based in Trivero, Italy. It is
the largest menswear brand in the world, with over $1 billion in annual
revenue. There are numerous things people don’t know about Zegna. The company
was founded in 1910 when Eremenegildo bought his fathers textile loom and began
manufacturing some of the finest wool for men’s suits. By the 30’s, the mill
had over 1,000 employees. The Zegna fabric manufacturing company became
increasingly successful throughout the years.
Aldo and Angelo Zegna,
Ermenegildos sons, joined the company in 1942. Two years after Ermenegildos
death in 1966, the Zegna sons launched their first line of Ready-to-wear men’s
suits. They began opening factories around the world and in 1980, opened their
first boutique in Paris, France. They currently have over 500 boutiques around
the world. Not only do they manufacture their own suits, but they also control
men’s suiting manufacturing for Gucci, Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent and
Dunhill. Another inspiring aspect of this brand is that over 100 years later
and it is still owed by the Zegna family. They understand the true aspect of
luxury suiting and excel in producing what their customers need. What began as
a small wool mill, turned into a beautiful success because they never forgot
the importance of family and love. Zegna will continue to produce the highest
quality suits for years to come.
