Por lo tanto, podemos decir que Ermenegildo no es necesariamente el nombre de un diseñador, sino más bien el de un empresario con perspectiva de diseño para el futuro. Pero ahí no acaba la cosa. Ya te contamos a continuación cómo es que su etiqueta llegó a lo que hoy conocemos.

Internationalization

By 1938, success was already such that the businessman established Zegna Woollens Corporation on Fifth New York Avenue to distribute fabrics within the United States.

In 1941, the Zegna fabrics won the first prize at the New York Male Fashion Exhibition.Four years later, the fabrics were available in every corner of planet Earth where tailoring was a serious thing.

So much force was acquired then, that Zegna bought better manufacturing equipment in the United Kingdom and was responsible for finding exquisite wool from distant countries, such as Mongolia, South Africa and Australia.

His modern era

Years later, after learning the company's secrets, Ermenegildo's children - Angelo and Aldo - gradually assumed the direction of the wool factory.Under its influence and with a very different, more current business view, the company expanded to produce a collection of prêt-à-porter clothing and a wood to measure range.It was then that the firm began to distribute and produce internationally, thus opening its first stores as a fashion brand in Paris and Milan.The capitals where they obviously had to take this step.

First, during the 70s - a time of significant expansion for Zegna - the house established the Conte Zegna Mohair trophy to reward its best breeders in South Africa, launched its tailored parts service with ties and accessories too, and extended even moreYour international distribution network.
