Italian fashion is much more than its well-known haute couture brands.
Italy has always been an international benchmark in fashion and haute couture: Prada, Armani, Valentino, Dolce&Gabana, Gucci, Cavalli, and many others that we see in magazines and catwalks.
And it is that Italian fashion has always been characterized by its quality both in design and clothing and in its fabrics. However, within this sea of brands and firms it is possible that some of them go more unnoticed than they should, overshadowed by those that monopolize covers and parades. We select some of those that, for us, are also first-line brands.
Brioni
In terms of tailoring, few firms will know more than this house founded in 1945 and which soon became a reference among the European aristocracy and wealthy Americans. An elegant, exclusive style that takes care of the details with meticulousness. It has its own boutiques in cities around the world, but you can also buy online. In 2011 it was acquired by the French group Kering, which owns other firms such as Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Balenciaga and Puma.
tod’s
One of the main manufacturers of handmade and luxury footwear. Its women’s line of footwear and bags is also an “Italian brand” par excellence.
Anderson’s
Nobody in Italy makes belts like this house that exhibits its creations every year on the best catwalks, such as Paris, London or Moscow.
Two Italian Boys
Two friends joined their creativity and talent to create one of the most avant-garde Italian fashion brands in recent years. For modern and daring men, but who do not give up elegance.
Diadora
When it comes to sportswear, Italy also has top-notch brands. Diadora has great international prestige in footwear and sporting goods related to the mountains, but also sports such as skiing, tennis or athletics.
But in addition to these established firms, there is now a notable number of designers in the Italian fashion scene, who are crossing borders. This is the case of Francesca Liberatore, whom we have already seen on catwalks around the world; Massimo Giogetti created his MSGM brand in 2008 and has recently been appointed creative director of Emidio Pucci; Andrea Pompilio’s designs caught the attention of Armani himself and for just a month, he has been the new creative advisor to the Italian tailoring shop Canali.
We end our recommendation with Fausto Puglisi and the unconventional and only suitable for the brave Au jour le jour, not very Italian in name, but in the production of its collections.
