Zegna

When Ermenegildo Zegna started his eponymous brand in 1910, it was with the singular aim to put fabric at the heart of everything he did. Fast forward over a century and that founding mission still rings true – some of the world’s finest fabrics are turned into Zegna suits, jackets, coats, T-shirts and even Zegna shoes. Artistic director Alessandro Sartori’s clear agenda for Zegna champions quality, craftsmanship and responsibility, continually revisiting what it means to dress the modern gentleman, while initiatives like #UseTheExisting zero in on the brand’s commitment to the environment, offering exclusive pieces crafted from discarded fibres and threads in a step towards minimising waste. Zegna products are made in Italy with expert precision, but it’s the brand’s ability to keep a close eye not just on production, but on the initial creation of the raw materials that make up its fabrics, that puts total control over integrity in the hands of the House.
