Brioni is owned by Kering (France, EPA: KER), which acquired the brand on 1 January 2012.[1][2] Brioni was founded in 1945 in Rome and was independent until 2012.
This ownership is reported in official statements but has not yet been matched to a regulatory filing.
Brioni staged the first mens fashion show in 1952 and makes suits by hand over many hours, training its own tailors at a dedicated school. Kering acquired it in 2011, and it dressed James Bond for several films. Kering owns it, and a suit takes several weeks and passes through dozens of pairs of hands, which is why the house trains its own tailors rather than recruiting them.
