HISTORY

In 1970, Gianfranco Barizza and Aronne Miola, two Italian businessmen in the textile and clothing industry located in the Vicenza province, founded Forall Confezioni SpA, a company dedicated to traditional menswear tailoring.

In the 80s, the partners decided to create Pal Zileri brand to firm their identity and positioning based on Italian savoir-faire and artisanal knowledge. Pal Zileri evokes the name of "Palazzo Zileri" an ancient building in the historic centre of Vicenza. From the 80s to 90s, the company's expansion reached over 70 countries throughout Europe, America and Asia. Pal Zileri worked with some of Italian designer labels to produce and distribute their menswear lines. Turnover for the decade reached 67 million Euros of which 19 million Euros represent foreign business.

In 2014, Mayhoola Group, a Qatar-based private company who also acquired Valentino in July 2012, acquired the majority stake of the company, and later, in 2016 gained the full ownership. Starting from January 2015, Pal Zileri presents its new collections at Milan Fashion Week. It pursues its sartorial craftsmanship combined with advanced technology.

In October 2016, Giovanni Mannucci was named Chief Executive Officer with the aim to steer Pal Zileri into this new stage of development and growth. Further marking this new course is the appointment of Rocco Iannone as the new Creative Director of Pal Zileri and LAB Pal Zileri in July 2017 .
