The American press has been primed with Trump's way of dressing, which they say has a skill: making any suit, no matter how expensive, look cheap. And they blame that the choice of fabrics, with too many brightness, is not usually the most successful.
But if there is a firm that the president of the United States trusts, as confirmed by one of the spokespersons for his election campaign, Hope Hicks, to The New York Times, it is in Brioni. And of this Italian firm she has seen for years, at least since 2004, when she recognized in the book Trump: Think Like a Billionaire, that the brand lent her suits for the television program The Apprentice.
This detail has not gone unnoticed in the United States, where it has also been criticized for choosing a European brand, instead of betting on a local firm, and favoring job creation. On occasion, he has also worn suits by Martin Greenfield Clothiers, a Brooklyn tailor known for dressing Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
The truth is that Brioni, considered the Ferrari of tailored suits, has always been one of the preferred firms of leaders and businessmen from around the world. In the list of clients, although the firm is discreet when it comes to naming names, one of the most elegant fictional characters, James Bond, was for years until he was relieved as head designer in Quantum of Solace, played by Daniel Craig , by Texan designer Tom Ford.

The firm began in 1945, when the tailor Nazareno Fonticoli and the businessman Gaetano Savini opened a workshop on Via Barberini (Rome). He distinguished himself by making by hand, stitch by stitch, more than 6,000 in each suit, and made to measure. The result, today, continues to be a different suit for each client, starting at 3,000 euros.
The fabrics it works with are exclusive and at least 22 hours are invested in each piece. Since 2011, Brioni is part of the business conglomerate of French luxury firms Kering, formerly PPR, the acronym for Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, created by businessman François Pinault, married to Mexican actress Salma Hayek.
One of Brioni's main contributions to the tailoring sector was the creation in 1986 of an international school to train professionals.
