<p>Nino Cerruti took over his family&#146;s Italian wool business, originally started in 1881, in the 1950s and swiftly began its transformation into a Paris-based luxury label. In 1967, he launched men&#146;s ready-to-wear, considered revolutionary for its easy cuts, modern fabrics and unprecedentedly light suits. Nine years later, womenswear was introduced in 1976. A number of top designers spent time at the house, both during Nino Cerruti&#146;s tenure and then after his retirement in 2001. Giorgio Armani was a protege, working with Cerruti from 1964 to 1970. Narciso Rodriguez served as Cerruti&#146;s creative director in the &#145;90s, and Richard Nicoll held the same position from 2009 to 2011, until the brand&#146;s womenswear was shuttered to place more focus on menswear.</p>
