Description

Cifonelli is an institution in the world of bespoke tailoring. Famous for their unique shoulder​​​​,​​​​ their attention to details and their blend of Italian and French tailoring traditions​​​​,​​​​ Cifonelli is recognised around the world for both their bespoke and ready-to-wear work. Founded in 1880 by Giuseppe Cifonelli in Rome. His son Arturo (probably one of the best bespoke tailor and cutter of the century after working with London tailors)​​​​,​​​​ decided to move to France in 1926. Ten years later​​​​,​​​​ Arturo moved to its current location: 31 Rue Marbeuf​​​​,​​​​ close to the Champs-Elysées. His work became legendary and Cifonelli became a reference among tailors​​​​,​​​​ and for gentlemen around the world (his clients included actors such as Lino Ventura​​​​,​​​​ Cary Grant and Fred Astaire). His son Adriano took over in 1972​​​​,​​​​ and Cifonelli grew even bigger​​​​,​​​​ thanks to several high-profile clients (notably the french president​​​​,​​​​ François Mitterrand​​​​,​​​​ as well as several ministers and opposition leaders). Since the 2000's​​​​,​​​​ the house is managed by Lorenzo and Massimo Cifonelli​​​​,​​​​ the fourth-generation of Cifonelli. The company expanded. It merged with other skillful tailors (Claude Rousseau​​​​,​​​​ Gabriel Gonzalez​​​​,​​​​ both having worked for Camps de Luca) in the 2000's​​​​,​​​​ and the cousins were responsible for the bespoke offer of Hermès from 1992 to 2007. They also started making ready-to-wear suits​​​​,​​​​ as an entry point into their bespoke​​​​,​​​​ working with the best manufacturers (Brioni and Caruso notably)​​​​,​​​​ with great success.
