Italian Suits Peaked in 2008. Nobody Told You.

Italian Suits Peaked in 2008. Nobody Told You. Italian suits — Brioni, Kiton, and Zegna — represent the most complete tailoring tradition ever assembled in one country. But the best Italian suits were made between nineteen eighty-five and two thousand and eight, and almost no one has said so out loud. In this video, we trace exactly when and why the great Italian suit houses stopped being what they were. Brioni was sold to a French conglomerate in two thousand and eleven and has cycled through four creative directors since, including one who was fired after six months for putting Metallica in tuxedos. Zegna went public on the New York Stock Exchange in twenty twenty-one at a three billion dollar valuation, acquired Thom Browne and Tom Ford Fashion, moved its legal headquarters to the Netherlands, and saw revenues fall in twenty twenty-five. Kiton still runs three hundred and fifty tailors in Naples and still requires twenty-five hours of handwork per jacket — and that is precisely what makes it the exception. The labels still say what they always said. The suits do not.
