The history of the brand is inextricably linked to the Zegna family’s wool mill, established in the second half of the 19th century in the Biella Alps. Founded with the aim of producing “the most beautiful fabrics in the world,” the mill quickly became an international reference point for high-end textiles, exporting its products already in the post-World War I period. Zegna launched its first ready-to-wear clothing lines in the 1960s, paving the way for the global success that has made it today a leading brand in men’s luxury fashion.
