London, United Kingdom, June 2013 - Ermenegildo Zegna will unveil its latest store in London, on Sloane Street in the heart of Knightsbridge.

The store is the ultimate men's emporium that hosts a wide range of Ermenegildo Zegna products and services. Each of the collections is presented within individually designed areas that convey a unique and distinct vision. The luxury offerings consist of the exclusive ‘Su Misura' (made-to-measure) service, the traditional Italian tailoring of ‘Sartoria' in contemporary silhouettes, as well as Zegna's sophisticated ‘Upper Casual' leisurewear collection. The store will also feature the appealing Zegna Sport line and is complemented by an extensive range of leather and textile accessories, as well as Ermenegildo Zegna's licensing collection of ancillaries such as watches, fragrance, underwear and cufflinks & jewellery A key inspiration for the store design has been the fabrics created at Zegna's eponymous wool mill in Trivero, Italy since 1910. The tactile adventure in-store begins with metallic strands in the windows, while the central staircase features an overlaid woven structure of crisscrossed polished stainless steel rods behind a glass curtain wall.
