Description:
Fashion – it is something fleeting, changeable. The more interesting example of brand Cerruti 1881, which manages to be a trendsetter, despite more than a century of age.
Ready-made clothes de luxe
Identify the Cerruti fashion brand in the conventional sense of the word impossible.
How can I use the word “fashion” to the company, existing since the XIX century?
This history can boast, not every time a prestigious brand, not to mention the fashion house.
Lantifico Felli Cerruti, a small factory producing clothing textiles, was founded by three brothers – Antonio, Quintin and Stefano Cerruti – in 1881 in Biella in northern Italy, which has historically been considered a center of high-quality woolen fabrics.
Since ancient times until the 50s of the twentieth century factory Cerruti was middling strong who has made clothes for the Italian solidly middle class. Everything suddenly changed when the family firm headed by 20-year-old Nino Cerruti.
The grandson of one of the founders, Nino did not commit their lives to the production of clothing. Much more attracted to a different area – journalism, in which he prophesied a great career. But the sudden death prompted his father to push / to the background to do their own biases and familial affair. Immediately it became clear that as an artist and businessman young Cerutti no less talented than as a journalist.
His first own clothing collection, shown Nino in 1957, became the birth of a new style, then take over the world: men’s pret-a-porter de luxe.
Prior to that, in the men’s costumes were a strict division of things tailoring and cheap mass production. Cerruti has created a factory, where men’s ready-made clothes made by the standards of high-end handmade. In the 60 years he has applied the same principle to women’s collections, establishing a style of Blue de Cerruti (simple cut suits, made in blue and blue colors), and the person who became a devoted fan of the legendary actress Anita Ekberg, best known for Fellini film “Sweet lives. ”
The finished dress, created by the canons of Haute Couture, has revolutionized the fashion world. Now, anyone who came to Milan boutique Cerruti, just a few minutes he could feel the affiliation to the cream of society without the tedious fitting. In 1967, Cerruti boutique opened in Paris, and after a few months and all the fashion house, changed his name to Cerruti 1881, he moved to the French capital.
Movie stars, instead of written to the queue to the tailor, on screen and in life are ready to wear suits Cerruti 1881. During these years, they could see Jean-Paul Belmondo, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Jack Nicholson. Among the women most effectively embodied “aristocratic-humble” style Cerruti Faye Dunaway in “Bonnie and Clyde.”
The idea of “ready-made suit of luxury”, invented by Nino Cherrutti immediately acquired many followers among the French and Italian designers. The most prominent representative of them can be called by Giorgio Armani, whose Nino Cerruti in the late 50’s took on the position of his assistant. If, however, over time, many fashion houses either went to Haute Couture, or began to develop a mass-produced, Cerruti 1881 and today continues to be on the same positions as in the mid-twentieth century.
Despite the fact that the house Cerruti already in the 70s turned into an industrial empire with its own production, and a powerful network of boutiques, it’s not the name became synonymous with mass production, like many other French and, in particular, the Italian brand. Clothing, accessories and perfumes from Cerruti if stopped right in the middle between the pretentious elitism Haute Couture houses and massive popularity among young people and housewives.
Since then, Cerruti confidently retains its distinct style, the main symptoms of which – the underlined aristocracy, and even some old-fashioned. Cerruti suits can be distinguished by finishing class hand made: hand-stitching a collar, horn buttons, and sewed perfectly, again by hand lining. It is not surprising that sometimes there is a feeling that you’re buying clothing produced is not a modern factory, and sewn over a hundred years ago in a textile workshop Cerruti brothers. This sense of individual work is not limited to clothing brand, but also in the line of accessories and, of course, watches.
