Cifonelli: The Perfect Blend of Timeless Traditional Tailoring and Contemporary Craftsmanship
Cifonelli is a family run tailor with over 140 years of heritage who offer made-to-measure, bespoke, and ready-to-wear services. Their extensive catalogue ofclients include Cary Grant, Charlton Heston, Fred Astaire, François Mitterand, and Josephine Baker. To Cifonelli, each creation reveals not only the family’s expertise and craftsmanship but also the client’s personality, shape, character, and charm.
Initially founded in 1880 by great-grandfather Giuseppe Cifonelli in Rome, Italy, the house of Cifonelli has handed down their family traditions and values from generation to generation. Currently, the tailoring house is run by great-grandson Lorenzo and cousin Massimo Cifonelli, who are the fourth generation of the Cifonelli family, and who continue to build upon the family legacy by weaving modern techniques into their tailoring while respecting their family tradition. As two of the world's most renowned tailors, they continue to reinvent the bespoke service, creating perfect suits for each and every client.
Upon opening their first UK store, Lorenzo Cifonelli said, “Cifonelli has had a long and meaningful relationship with London, where we have been holding trunk shows and bespoke appointments for decades. Massimo and I are thrilled to finally open the doors of our Cifonelli residence in the heart of Mayfair, to the world.” The upstairs of the store features the Cifonelli Residence and ready-to-wear collections, with the tailor studio and home of made-to-measure and bespoke downstairs. Massimo and Lorenzo take a personalpproach, meeting and cutting personally for each bespoke client.
This year, Cifonelli will be partnering with Chopard for the upcoming Festival de Cannes in May and will be the sole partner for the newly opened members lounge for Le Mans 24, celebrating the relationship between the art of bespoke and correlations between the worlds of automotive design and tailoring.
