Brioni is a menswear couture house owned by French holding company Kering. Founded in Rome in 1945,〔mrporter.com (Brioni )〕 it is known for its made-to-measure men's suits, sartorial ready-to-wear collections and leather goods. Throughout its history, the company has invented concepts such as the men's runway show, the trunk show, and the ready-to-wear Haute Couture. It has been a point of reference for the entertainment, institutional and business worlds. Its current Creative Director is British-born Brendan Mullane.〔kering.com (Brioni is strengthening its creative capacity and appoints Brendan Mullane as Creative Director ) 9 July 2012〕〔 Lauren Milligan, vogue.co.uk (Brioni's Brit ) 9 July 2012〕〔Luisa Zargani (Brioni Taps Artists for Fall Ad Campaign ) June 15, 2015〕 ==History== Brioni was established in Rome in 1945 as a men's tailoring company by founders Nazareno Fonticoli, a tailor, and Gaetano Savini, an entrepreneur.〔brioni.com (Heritage )〕 They opened their first shop on Via Barberini 79, naming the brand after the Brijuni Islands in Croatia; the shop is still at the same address. Brioni quickly started to raise interest from high-profile movie business personalities, heads of state and business leaders. In 1952, Brioni staged the first men’s fashion show in history, inside the Sala Bianca at Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The clothes introduced new silhouettes, bold colors and innovative fabrics, marking an important chapter for the company. A couple of years later, Brioni invented the trunk show, during which the collections were presented directly in stores, allowing customers to personalize the garments with the ''Su Misura'' service (made-to-measure).〔telegraph.co.uk (Mencyclopaedia: Brioni )〕 In 1959, a production plant was opened in Penne, Abruzzo, birth town of Nazareno Fonticoli. Called Brioni Roman Style, the state-of-the-art factory introduced the concept of Prêt Couture, or ready-to-wear Haute Couture that sealed the international rise of the brand. In 1985, the company opened a tailoring school in Penne with the aim of transmitting to younger generations the specific Brioni sartorial method.〔(Visiting the source: making Brioni suits ) New York Times, 14 April 2014〕 In 2007〔(Luxury Institute Survey: Wealthy Consumers Rate Top Men's Fashion Brands of 2007 Brioni, Armani and Ermenegildo Zegna ) May 22, 2007〕 and 2011〔Alex Carter, (Hermes, Brioni and Versace ranked as top luxury brands )〕 The Luxury Institute ranked Brioni among the most prestigious men’s fashion luxury goods brand in America.
