THE PHILOSOPHY

Fashion is at the heart of Stefanel. But style is its beating pulse. Simple luxury is our promise. But quality is our core. Design drives us. Technical integrity anchors us.

Our company has earned a place at the very heart of Italian fashion. The Stefanel brand was born from the Maglificio Piave in 1979. A collection for women and men quickly achieved iconic fashion status around the world. Throughout the world, our label became shorthand for Italian creativity, craftsmanship and quality. And we did it at a price that made it accessible to a market that was quickly developing a growing passion for fashion. During the years Stefanel has navigated the shifting fashion territory, in step with every shift in mood, we have consistently delivered great design, impeccable quality and real value. The Stefanel customer is savvy, sophisticated, smart and sure of what she wants. She has spent the ‘fast fashion years’, tapped into every micro trend and style movement. She knows what is hot and what is not. Her fashion favourites are like old friends. And for fashion, her passion could always trump her purse. But, facing her future, she has learned new ways to be demanding. She knows just what she wants: quality chic; mood boosting basics; everyday luxury at an honest price; supreme service; fast fashion with a clear conscience; instant impact. She has no patience to wait and see. The labels that lure deliver a precise message with a clear voice. Every new Stefanel collection evolves to address the style freedoms: brilliant basics better than anyone else and reliably available; classics that are always chic, the staples of every woman’s wardrobes; the secret style weapons that keep a look current; the trends that take you farther than one season; reasons to always love knitwear.
