“Do what is necessary to achieve your most ardent desire, and you will eventually achieve it”, Beethoven once said, and so it was that a young Luigi Lardini mustered all his resolve and commitment and set about accomplishing his dream, embarking on the road to success.

His first menswear collection came into being in the Seventies. In awe of his creative talent, Luigi's brother Andrea and sister Lorena realised the extent of his potential and joined him in his endeavour. With the help of their father, they set up a tailoring studio in 1978.

Luigi focused on the creative side of the business, Andrea used his knowledge of computer engineering to take care of the technological side of matters whilst Lorena dealt with administration and financial management. A few years later, the siblings’ little sister Annarita came on board and was put in charge of quality control.

Today, the Lardini brand is adored and admired the world over for the sheer elegance and premium quality of its garments that deliver sophisticated stylishness, sartorial superiority, artisanal expertise and passionate research into innovative and exclusive fabrics.  The Lardini menswear collections have been expanded by the addition of various proprietor product lines, each of which encapsulates a different mood or need without straying from the core identity of the brand.

Lardini's RVR line (RVR = Reversible) went to bolster the menswear range in the FW17/18 season with a collection of eco-sustainable outerwear that adapts to different occasions or climates with a change in look and character.

+ Lardini stems from collaborations with the greatest international creative minds around, like that of Nick Wooster, a creative director and influencer of worldwide renown. This was an essential style development that brought a breath of fresh air as well as visibility.
