The Five Most Expensive Ermenegildo Zegna Suits

Ermenegildo Zegna has created luxurious menswear for more than a century. The family owned and run Italian fashion house has maintained its reputation for finding and using the finest fabrics to create comfortable, durable, sleek and sophisticated men’s clothing. The ownership of an Ermenegildo Zegna suit is a proud accomplishment to a man with impeccable taste and refinement. Ermenegildo Zegna and his son’s expanded the company globally, and Zegna’s grandchildren continue to manage the fashion house with the conservative yet forward-thinking style of their fathers and grandfather.

Company History

Ermenegildo Zegna learned the value of fine wool working in his father, Angelo’s wool mill and loom company high in the Alps above Piedmont, Italy. In 1910, Ermenegildo founded his own company in Trivero, Italy using his father’s looms and the skills and expertise that his father taught him to produce quality fabrics for suits. In 1915, Ermenegildo named his company Fratelli Zegni di Anglio.

Growth in the fabric industry

The wool mill company grew to employ 1000 workers in the 1930s. In 1938, Zegna Woolens Corporation was created in New York City. Unfortunately, the war slowed some production, but the company continued to put out some of the finest fabrics for suits. Ermenegildo’s sons, Aldo and Angelo, joined the business in 1942 and the company was renamed Ermenegildo Zegna and Sons. By 1955, the company was growing and successful.

Honoring Australia’s wool

The Zegna sons continued their work and increased the marketing of their fine fabric. In 1963, they introduced the Ermenegildo Zegna Wool Awards in Australia. Because Australia was the main supplier of the company’s wool, the Zegnas wanted to honor them. The award originally named the finest purveyor of wools. In 2002, an award for the best wool under 13.9 microns was introduced.

Ready-to-Wear launched

When Ermenegildo died in 1974, his sons decided to launch a Ready-to-Wear line in addition to custom made suits. This developed into a knitwear and casual wear line with Angelo managing menswear and accessories, and Aldo managing the textiles. The company expanded internationally with factories in Spain and Switzerland. By the 1980s, there were flagship stores in 16 countries including boutiques in Paris and Milan. The company also stepped into the luxury automobile industry. They created the luxurious upholstery in the Lancia Trevi Volumex and in the Limited Edition Maserati Quatttroporte sedan.

A family business

Aldo and Angelo’s children joined the company in the 1990s and continue to be an integral part of its reputation as one of the finest creators of custom and manufactured suits in the world. Angelo’s son Gildo became Head of Apparel. His daughter Anna is head of Store Planning. Aldo’s son Paolo is the company’s Director of Marketing and of the Textile Division.

Today, the Zegna Group operates in several Italian manufacturing plants with other plants in Spain, Switzerland, Mexico and Turkey. The business is still run in its original Trivero location. Aldo died in 2000, and Angelo remains the company’s Honorary President. Ermenegildo’s namesake, Angelo’s son “Gildo” is the CEO.

Ermenegildo Zegna has maintained its reputation of using the finest wool to create the finest fabrics in suits. Along with its Ready-to-Wear lines, the company continues to make the finest bespoke suits. Those custom made suits offer personalized details and design, a perfect fit, and a suit that is made with the finest and most luxurious fabrics in the world. The company has become one of the top fashion couture houses in the world and appeals to celebrities and non-celebrities who appreciate the quality and sophistication of wearing a fine suit.
