Italians have always been associated with quality fashion.

During the Renaissance period, the Italian city of Florence was largely regarded as the center of fashion innovation. However, for several centuries afterwards, it was Paris that held the title of the world’s center of fashion excellence and innovation. Nonetheless, by the middle of the 20th century, Italy is ready to reclaim its former glory when it comes to fashion innovation. 

With brands such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Benetton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Fila, Moschino, Prada, Versace, and Valentino just to name a handful, Italian fashion designers have literally blazed the catwalk with their own unique brand of comfortable fashion innovation with unmistakable elegance, exquisite fabrics, excellent tailoring, and unmatched innovation, imaginativeness, and creativity.
