The Ermenegildo Zegna Group is the world leader in luxury men's clothing and one of Italy’s most famous family driven enterprises. Founded in 1910 in Trivero, in the Biella Alps, by the young entrepreneur Ermenegildo, whose vision was to ethically create the world’s finest textiles through innovation, sourcing the noblest fibres directly from their markets of origin.
Managed today by the fourth generation of the Zegna family, the company this year celebrates its Centennial. Since the end of the 90’s the company has accomplished a comprehensive strategy of verticalisation, creating a Global Luxury Brand which now ranges from fabric to clothing to accessories - and focused on retailing, pioneering early entry in emerging luxury markets, BRIC and Asia in particular, and was the first luxury brand to open a monobrand store in China in 1991. Today worldwide, there are 555 Ermenegildo Zegna points of sale in 86 countries of which over 300 are direct operating stores.
In India, the brand launched its first flagship DOS (Directly Operated Store) in Mumbai in 2007. The second DOS was launched at UB City, Bangalore in 2008 followed by the third Zegna store at Emporio Mall, New Delhi in the same year. The retail presence will be expanded further in the future with new stores opening in the country.
Ermenegildo Zegna Group has recently set a joint venture with Reliance Brands Ltd, a part of the Reliance Group to develop the Zegna brand in India. The 51:49 joint venture aims to ramp up the operations creating a national footprint to capture the potential of the Indian luxury market.
