Fans of Ermenegildo Zegna, one of the world's leaders in fine men's clothing, could find a good buy this month as the company starts its clearance sale in all its Zegna and Agnona shops in China, starting on June 7.
The sale will cover 26 Zegna shops, 10 franchised shops, three Zegna Sport shops and one Agnona shop in cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Dalian, Changchun, Shenyang and Shenzhen.
Zegna was in the spotlight during the 75th Academy Award two months ago when Adrien Brody, the youngest person ever to win the best actor Oscar for his work in "The Pianist", was outfitted in Ermenegildo Zegna clothes.
The 29-year-old New Yorker walked on stage wearing a midnight blue three-button evening suit, a white formal shirt made of fine Italian cotton and a signature Zegna Twin Tie that pairs double blades of fabric in different colours, patterns and materials.
The lanky actor has been recruited and appeared as the face for the current Zegna's Spring/Summer 2003 campaign as well as the upcoming Fall/Winter 2003 campaign.
Founded in 1910 by Ermenegildo Zegna in Trivero, a small town in the Biella Alps outside Milan, Zegna has been known for its superb tailoring and careful cuts. The ready-to-wear clothing line also includes knitwear, leatherwear, sportswear and accessories. The company has a total of 379 stories in 64 different countries.
