Rare are the books about men’s style, which makes this one a definite must-have. Entitled “Gaetano Savini: The Man Who Was Brioni”, this book counts the story of Gaetano Savini, the designer who has put his country on the map of men’s fashion world. Through his innovative Italian spirit, he reinvented menswear from the first men’s fashion show at Florence’s Palazzo Pitti in 1952.

With this history in mind, it’s only natural for his creativity and craftsmanship to remain a source of inspiration for today’s styles. His legacy made Brioni, the luxury brand he co-founded, a cornerstone in the world of men’s fashion and there’s nothing better than this book to celebrate it. Examples of this legendary designer’s innovative cuts, bold colors and psychedelic patterns come together with sketches, newspaper articles, letters, photographs and personal anecdotes from Savini’s daughter and Brioni heir, to count in detail the brand’s influence.
