Linen shirt with Mandarin collar

Aspesi is a minimalist, sophisticated and timeless Italian Clothing brand. Founded in 1969 by Alberto Aspesi as a shirt manufacturer, over the years it has become a benchmark in prêt-à-porter.

In an era when the reference model in the fashion industry was the Parisian haute couture maisons, the Italian prêt-à-porter industry instead decided to focus on the research of materials, a new concept of elegance and on wearability, suggesting new horizons to explore.

Aspesi has evolved in this scenario, standing out for a strong proposal not only of significant aesthetic value, but also of wearability and functionality. At the end of the ’70s, ASPESI expanded its line, creating collections for both men and women and forming collaborations with important designers such as Franco Moschino, Walter Albini and Marco Zanini. Since November 2020 the creative direction has been entrusted to Lawrence Steele.
