Italian fashion designer Miuccia Prada is Mario’s granddaughter. You would have to have lived under a rock all your life to not be aware of the long lines of Italian brands, designers, fashion houses and high-end labels that have all contributed to shaping fashion today. Known and loved for their exquisite leather goods, Bottega Veneta has built a reputation for high-quality bags that will stand the test of time. Today, the company is managed by the founder’s great-grandson, also known as Ermenegildo Zegna or Gildo for short.
It is one of the oldest Italian high-street fashion brands, but it also remains one of the biggest sellers. However, the label’s timeless design and high-quality materials make it a popular choice for anyone looking for something special.
Which luxury brands are there in Italy?
As the brand’s distinctive high-fashion logo suggests, the brand added a touch of class and luxury to sportswear. The founder of United Standard, Giorgio Di Salvo, is a car enthusiast and has even made a short film, The Malware, to portray the mood and inspirations of the brand, cars, mystery and futurism. Fendi’s iconic double F logo, worn by celebrities such as Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloß and Rihanna, was reinvented and took the brand into a new era of cool and instantly recognizable street style fame through Kim Jones and the fabulous Fendi family. The aesthetics are not unlike those of Gosha Rubchinskiy or A-COLD-WALL*, but there is also a mix of art and culture in every piece that would be at home in the collections of Scandinavian brands such as Soulland or Wood Wood.
But what are some of the biggest Italian fashion brands? Italian clothing is considered one of the best in the world.
