Fashion in Tuscany

Creativity and made in Italy

Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Roberto Cavalli, Enrico Coveri, Stefano Ricci, Patrizia Pepe. . . these are all world-famous brands with a common origin: they were all born in the cradle of the Renaissance. Since time immemorial, the Tuscany of fashion has been synonymous with creativity, innovation, and Made in Italy craftsmanship. Because of this, and also thanks to the possibility of finding a complete production chain in the region – which is famous for, among other reasons, its leather works – big international groups such as Richemont, Céline, Balenciaga, Burberry, Montblanc and Luis Vuitton have chosen to invest here, in Tuscany.

The land of fashion production, Tuscany boasts the presence of various production districts and a strategic chain of suppliers of the highest order for all those operating in the fashion and design sectors. Florence has the highest concentration of institutions and international academies dedicated to design. It represents a center of excellence recognized for its attitude toward experimentation and for a deep competence in the sectors of industrial and artistic design. In particular, it is the location of prestigious universities and academies such as the European Institute of Design, University of Florence Design Campus in Calenzano, Polimoda, Italian Leather Goods Institute, and the Italian Design Academy, Istituto Marangoni.
