Ermenegildo Zegna, Italy’s foremost tailor and entrepreneur, started his
men’s clothing business in 1910 in the town of Trivero. He committed to quality
and service by selecting the finest materials from all over the world, and
employing diligent production and promotion processes. His made-to-measure suits
were among the most exclusive and the most expensive of their time. The Zegna
family carried on his passion after his passing in 1966, and subsequently
brought the company into the ready-to-wear market. Today, Zegna still rules,
cranking out over 2 million meters of fabric, 500,000 sleeve units, 1.5 million
sportswear items, and over 1.7 million accessories per year.
There is an
undeniable impression given by the Zegna man riding moto through the streets of
Milan, Rome or Naples, sharing the similar attraction to design, performance
and inherent value that has become the trademark of the true motorcycle
aficionado. The Zegna Sport and Z Zegna diffusion lines now complement the
lifestyle with leather and suede ankle boots with grip soles to balance active
and leisure activities, and Ducati has recently designed a limited edition
men’s fragrance bottle for the company. Ultimate highway aviator sunglasses
with leather cross-bridges and temples in four colors, are now produced for
Zegna by DeRigo, and available in North America through Viva
International.
 Zegna’s Luxe Functionality collection is designed for the discriminating
rider. (Click image to enlarge)
The Zegna Fall/Winter collection offers some of the most
distinctive limited production pieces available, such as a belted alligator
jacket with mink lining, and shoes to match. Jeans, pullovers with suede piping
and a unique combination of merino wool, mohair and cashmere sweaters offer more
lightweight, breathable options.
Other Zegna passions not to be missed are
the Zegna Games in Florence to benefit muscular dystrophy research, and a ride
down the Zegna Panoramic Road to Oasi Zegna, a reforested alpine preserve
overlooking Trivero that was financed by Ermenegildo Zegna himself.
