WHO, WHAT, HOW

Who We Are

The qualities and passion of our people are what drives Zegna. Our founder, Ermenegildo Zegna, understood that the quality he sought in his products couldn’t be separated from a positive relationship with the community. He also recognised that the wellbeing of our employees was central to our company’s long-term success. Collectively, we take pride in where we’ve been, but also in where we have yet to go. A future shaped by the experience, expertise, and integrity of every individual at Zegna.


What We Do

Our vertically-integrated, sheep to shop approach ensures we’re involved in everything from the selection of the best raw materials to the creation of the best experience for our customers. It is a dynamic and constantly evolving environment, connecting people in various roles and realities, as well as offering an exceptional opportunity to learn.


How We Do It

We have been guided by the values of creativity, authenticity, passion, accountability, excellence and entrepreneurship since our inception. As an international company, our success is driven by the diversity of our people, who are brought together by these common values. It means we work in harmony while contributing the unique ideas, skills and experience of our authentic selves.

HANDS ON, HEARTS ON, MINDS ON

Over 150 hands contribute to every suit we create, from the farms in Australia where the wool is produced, to our mills and design headquarters in Italy, to our stores around the world.


It’s what we affectionately call our sheep to shop approach to business.

We take pride in being a family-owned, vertically-integrated company. It enables us to produce garments of the utmost quality and deliver an unparalleled experience to our customers. It also allows us to work with an incredible range of talented individuals; the makers, masters, designers and doers that make up our teams. Our employees have a hand in how our products are created and how they reach our customers.


As part of our fast-paced, dynamic working environment, which encourages fresh ideas and new perspectives, our employees continue to grow and evolve. They support each other, readily sharing their knowledge and expertise with colleagues. And, most importantly, they possess a passion for what they do, driving our success and the satisfaction of our customers.

Byron, Customer Advisor and MTM Specialist

“I get the privilege of selling a really extraordinary collection of artisanal garments to some very special people, some of the most successful people in the world, and I have the opportunity to make suggestions to make each person’s wardrobe uniquely theirs. At Zegna, I’ve learned that the pursuit of excellence is a habit that is never-ending.

Although you may reach one milestone, there’s always the opportunity to go further.

I am passionate about working for Zegna because the company was built on being the best that there is. Teamwork is the key to everything in the company, from the tailor beautifully altering an extraordinary garment to another colleague in another store making sure the client receives just what he wanted, as he expects in a timely fashion.

There is nothing that happens without your colleagues. The most important thing is the way we support each other. It feels like a family.”


Denisse, Marketing & CRM Manager

"Zegna is a company that allows you to connect with different people across the world, and not only your counterparts, but also people in different functions in the company. I am happy to have connected with different people who have, in some way, planted a seed in me. I have learned to be resilient; retail is like that. You need to be open and adapt to changes. And something that I keep saying to myself is to continue focusing on the details. Retail is detail."


Matteo, Leather Goods Designer

“When I joined Zegna, I was impressed by the incredible precision found in every single process of the company. Rigorous research, defined messages, nothing left to chance. It felt like every detail had its own story.

My work is based on observation and research, plumbing the potential of shape and function, as well as going beyond the traditional relationships between fashion, art, and design. With its passionate interest for the old and the new, the traditional and the contemporary, Zegna is the place for me. You never stop learning at Zegna.

Projects often contain unexpected scenarios and challenging milestones that require innovative problem-solving and teamwork."

Edoardo, MTM Coordinator

“I love the cross-cultural environment at Zegna.

As a MTM Promoter, I was able to travel to China for a few months. It was an amazing, formative experience for me. Zegna is a global family, which means you have the opportunity to grow internationally.

I started my career at Zegna as a MTM Promoter in Switzerland. After a few years, I was promoted to MTM collection coordinator, and I was recently appointed sales manager in Canada and will be moving to Toronto soon. It’s another new chapter in my Zegna career, one that I’m excited to begin.”

Marta, Retail Planner

"What I like most about my job is that I get to collaborate with different departments and individuals, including the Buying, Finance, Supply Chain, and Customer Service teams. It’s given me the opportunity to learn and take inspiration from passionate people with different backgrounds, as well as understand different processes and challenge myself."
