Mauro Grifoni

History and Growth Mauro Grifoni, the project's founder and instigator, has found two business and creative partners, Ilaria Sesso and Andrea Breda, whose contribution was vital in the definition of the brand's peculiar identity. In 1997 a women's collection was launched, followed in 2001 by a jeans line and in 2002 by accessories. Across all evolutions and ramifications, the brand maintained and strengthened its signature mix of harsh refinement and excellent craftsmanship. From the bespoke suit to the sweatshirt to the feminine wardrobe, a precise, eclectically coherent esthetic unites a whole range of products.
A new boutique, housed on three floors for a whole of 300 square meters, has been opened at the end of February 2009 in Milan's via Santo Spirito, in the elegant heart of the city. Responsible for the image of all the shops is a team of architects directed by Mauro Grifoni: the clean and artfully organic style runs perfectly in synch with the whole Mauro Grifoni esthetic. Each shop is designed to fit into the space's peculiar characteristics, thus not following a standardized formula.
The Brands The Mauro Grifoni brands, all produced by Manila Company, are: Mauro Grifoni: men's and women's total look; M.Grifoni Denim: men's and women's sportswear; Mauro Grifoni Accessories: mens' and women's; Mauro Grifoni: kids' wear for boys and girls aged between 2 and 14.
In the founders' trio, Mauro Grifoni is charged with the role of Creative Director for men's wear, while Ilaria Sesso is Creative Director for women's wear and Andrea Breda acts as Managing and Financial Director. The headquarters are in Caldogno, near Vicenza, as they've been from the very beginning. A new, 3.000 square meters, luminous and minimal space was opened in 2004, employing around 60 staff members.
