Zegna

The Ermenegildo Zegna Group is the worldwide leader in luxury menswear and one of the most renowned businesses in Italy. Founded in 1910 in Trivero (Italy) by the young entrepreneur Ermenegildo Zegna, the Group continues to be run as a family business that remains faithful to the vision of the founder: the ethical production of the best and most exclusive fabrics in the world through innovation and the sourcing of noble fibers directly from their markets of origin. Since the late 1980s, the company has implemented a comprehensive strategy of verticalization, creating a global luxury brand which now ranges from fabric to clothing to accessories, and is focused on retailing, pioneering early entry in emerging luxury markets, in addition to being the first luxury brand to open a monobrand store in China in 1991. Ermenegildo Zegna celebrated 100 years of excellence in 2010. Today there are 480 Zegna stores (267 company-owned) in over 100 countries around the world. The total Group revenues in 2018 reached 1.159 bn. In 2000 the Group established Fondazione Zegna to manage the philanthropic activities of the Zegna family in support of organizations that work to improve society and the environment. In 2014 the Group announced the Ermenegildo Zegna Founders Scholarship, a 25-year project named for its founder with an annual investment in education of 1 million.
