MR PORTER, the award-winning global retail destination for men’s style, along with Ermenegildo Zegna, the world’s leading luxury menswear brand founded in Trivero, Italy in 1910, are thrilled to launch a new retail partnership in which MR PORTER will be the key pure-play global online retail partner of Zegna beginning 26 July, 2016. To date, Zegna has been available through its own recently re-launched zegna.com channel, along with through the online businesses of its brick and mortar partners. This new venture for Zegna establishes MR PORTER as a strong online retail partner.

MR PORTER will launch with a selection of luxury tailoring and ready-to-wear pieces, including outerwear of leather and cashmere, as well as Zegna’s signature Trofeo water-resistant softwool, tailored denim, cashmere knitwear, and a variety of seasonal jackets, suiting and casualwear. MR PORTER will also be offering a new season range of Zegna’s Italian-made footwear, leather goods and accessories such as the iconic Pelle Tessuta and Triple Stitch Sneakers.

On 28 July, MR PORTER’s The Journal will showcase a celebratory feature for the launch of Zegna.
