Everyone with a feeling for fashion loves the distinctive Italian style of Pal Zileri, The label that has resisted the fashion industry’s move to mass production in countries with cheap labour. The ‘family’ at Pal Zileri care passionately about every garment they create. More than 40 years ago when Mr Barizza and Mr Miola, co-founded the Italian fashion house Gruppo Forall. They employed locals so they could create a ‘family’ business, this was shown as during the lunch hour they would all sit together and eat, with the co-founders at the head of the table. Even now they have not forgotten their roots, and so all the 1250 employees split in half every lunch and dine together, with the head of the table still occupied by either the co-founder or the close family member of the original co-founders.

With the existence of the mere “bespoke” tailor on the decrease, the Pal Zileri Abito Privato, better known as the made to measure range concept has boomed. The custom service label in the Pal Zileri collection has grown so fast that it is offered outside the trademark Pal Zileri stores, with the service now available in your own home.
