PROFILE |
 |
Krizia's business is more than just sew-sew. The company has been creating clothes and accessories for the fashion-conscious since 1954. It offers some 30 new lines per year, which it sells in 50 franchised stores and six company-owned ones (London, Milan, New York, Paris, Rome, and Venice). Named after a character (Crizia) in a Plato dialogue about vanity, the company experiments with new materials, including eel skin, rubber, and cellophaned velvet. It also licenses its name for non-clothing products, including fragrances and champagne. Exports account for more than two-thirds of sales. Founder and designer Mariuccia Mandelli and her husband, Aldo Pinto, own the company. Krizia also runs K Club, a Barbuda resort.
