There is a story to be told of every great establishment, and we are happy to shed light upon Kiton, the unmatched Italian brand of menswear that has been a staple of fashion for the past 50 years. Kiton was founded by Ciro Paone in 1968 in the province of Naples, Arzano. The company derived its name from the ceremonial tunic, called “Chiton,” which was worn by the people of ancient Greece to pray to the gods of Olympus. There is a spiritual element embedded in the brand, and it echoes among the clothes that Kiton makes.
“My greatest source of pride is to have restored dignity to the tailoring profession.” – Ciro Paone
Ciro Paone wanted to bring back the art of tailoring with Kiton, and he most certainly accomplished that with his most classical designs. It is very well known for its outstanding quality. Ciro himself made it his goal to never compromise on the aspect of quality and made sure that every thread would make up a long-lasting fabric. Spanning five factories around Italy and shops all around the world, Kiton became a name of quality and even launched a line of womenswear in 1995. Take a look at its fabrics and best clothing choices by Chic Icon.
Vicuña
This is the most sought-after yarn in the world that Kiton uses in the making of its clothing. The fabric is known for its ductility, lightness, rareness, and ability to provide warmth. It has become associated with handmade craftsmanship and a symbol of high quality. With its major innovations in the fashion industry, Kiton made several Vicuña fabrics that include Jacquard Vicuña, Denim Vicuña, and Summer Vicuña to create unique styles.
Cashmere
Cashmere is a feather-light fabric that is fit for all seasons, and the properties of the fiber make it easier for the skin to breathe and keep the body at a constant temperature. The fabric has unique qualities; with it being glossy and soft, it is an excellent choice for an elegant and sophisticated garment. For example, it will be ideal for a classical jacket or an everyday outfit. Cashmere is available with silk, linen, and knitwear.
