Zegna

Artistic director Alessandro Sartori has transformed the heritage fabric mill into a modern luxury powerhouse, with the Triple Stitch sneaker and Oasi Cashmere line redefining Italian menswear for the post-suit era. The Triple Stitch in particular has become the brand's crossover hit — a hand-stitched sneaker priced in the high hundreds of dollars that put Zegna on the radar of buyers who'd never have considered the house for anything but suits.
