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.
