Cifonelli is a family-run luxury tailoring house founded in 1880 offering made-to-measure, bespoke, and ready-to-wear clothing.[1][2] The house was founded by Giuseppe Cifonelli in Rome. The workshop has been located in Paris on Rue Marbeuf since 1936.[3][4] The house cut of suit is characterized by a slim sleeve with a high, slightly wide armhole which ends in a thick, distinctive roll at the top of the sleevehead;[3][5] the French shoulder has become synonymous with Cifonelli.[2] Cifonelli helped popularise the raised Milanese buttonhole.[5] Lorenzo and Massimo Cifonelli, who are cousins in the fourth-generation of the family business,[4] took on leadership of the house in the 1990s.[6] The garments are handmade in the Parisian workshop.[6]
Cifonelli CEO is Lionel Peralta.[7]
Clients of the house have included Paul Meurisse, Lino Ventura, Marcello Mastroianni, Cary Grant, Karl Lagerfeld and François Mitterrand.[4]
In addition to the bespoke clothing atelier on rue Marbeuf, the brand has a ready-to-wear boutiques in the 1st arrondissement of Paris and on Clifford Street in London.[8]
