On November 1, Pignatelli Atelier, the new women’s tailoring line from Italian fashion house Pignatelli, debuts during Couture Fashion Night at The Circle Convention Center in Zurich.
“A special project created under the creative direction of Jean Luc Amsler,” shared Pignatelli. “He is a Swiss designer with sophisticated taste and international style. He is already known for his work in Parisian haute couture and for his collaborations with some of the most important European couture houses.”

“The Pignatelli Atelier project represents a natural step for us, a bridge between the tradition and the future of the brand: to reinterpret, innovate, overcome boundaries while remaining true to our DNA,” emphasizes Francesco Pignatelli.
The presentation is a key moment for the fashion house’s new course. This is the result of Francesco Gianfala’s entrepreneurial vision. He leads Pignatelli to a coherent and contemporary international expansion. The aim is to promote dialogue with a new generation of customers and preserve the brand’s tailoring skills.
Pignatelli Atelier is an upcycling collection. It consists of unique pieces that are entirely made in the brand’s atelier from the vintage men’s fashion inventory. The silhouettes alternate between sculptural constructions and flowing lines. Fabrics with a masculine appeal serve as a means of expression and define a strong, sophisticated and unconventional identity.
The collection moves between two poles: on the one hand, there are couture garments with great dramatic impact with dramatic volumes and ritual details. On the other hand, there are simple but impressive pieces in which theatrical elements subtly emerge and give the everyday the depth of a vision.
The new collection tells the story of a mysterious and free woman with an almost Gothic charm. She is inspired by the Countess of Castiglione, an icon of beauty, independence and rebellion who was endowed with a free spirit and a fine aesthetic sense.
The women’s collection is accompanied on the catwalk by a selection of men’s suits from the Pignatelli archive. These were given a modern interpretation by the brand’s creative director, Francesco Pignatelli, in line with the new course. This meeting of roots and future expresses the desire to expand Pignatelli’s identity universe and enrich it with new languages and stylistic directions.
The collection will be available at the Pignatelli monobrand stores in Turin and Milan.
