History of the Italian menswear brand Corneliani

The company first came into existence in the 1930s thanks to Alfredo Corneliani, who custom hand sewed raincoats and other outerwear. He became widely recognized in Italy, but was forced to stop his business due to World War II.

Family business

The Italian brand owes its second "birthday" to Alfredo's sons Claudio and Carl-Alberto. They re-founded Corneliani in 1958 and scaled the business over the decades.

In 1974, the Italian brand settled into a larger manufacturing facility, where it operated until 2010. In 1985, it opened its own office in the US. The early 'noughties' saw several important developments:

• In 2005, the Italian brand opened its own office in the US.
  • in 2005 - Corneliani received the Leonardo Quality Award for its significant contribution to the promotion of Italian quality and design at the international level, presented by the President of the Republic
  • in 2008 - the brand held an exhibition in Florence in honor of its 50th anniversary and published a monograph;
  • in 2010 - participated in the prestigious Pitti Uomo exhibition as a special guest, which shows its high status and important role in the fashion industry.

  Corneliani clothing is the embodiment of the best traditions of Italian tailoring. Branded men's suits were bought by politicians, businessmen, artists and other famous public figures. The future mayor of New York made his inaugural speech in Corneliani suits in 2014, and Italian singer Andrea Bocelli got married for the second time. Corneliani branded pieces (original) have been spotted on Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney, Mel Gibson and other celebrities.

  Transition to a new owner

  In 2016, investment group Investcorp bought a 55% stake in the company. After that, Carl-Alberto Corneliani stepped down as CEO. Family members of the Italian brand's founder own 20% of the company as of 2024. It is not known who owns the remaining 25% of the shares.

  The post of CEO, which was vacated in 2016, was first taken by Paolo Roviera. He was succeeded in 2018 by Luigi Ferrando, who stayed with the company for a year. From the beginning, Investcorp was focused on strengthening the brand's position in the global market. In 2018, it launched Corneliani's US online store, the official website in the US.

  Since December 2019, Giorgio Brandazza has become the brand's CEO and has had a difficult time. The company's sales were negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic, but the business is rebounding.

  The collection now includes elegant menswear, footwear and accessories - a large range of branded items. In addition to direct sales, the Italian brand Corneliani accepts requests for custom tailoring in Milan. It is made by a team of tailors.
