“Il meglio del meglio piu uno” or “THE BEST OF THE BEST +1” that’s the promise of Kiton. The name Kiton comes from the ancient Greek and Roman word chiton, which translates to tunic. The family tailoring house launched in 1968 by Ciro Paone, is now run by the founders nephews, Antonio Paone and Antonio De Matteis. Kiton is widely known for their selection of premium mens suits, Cashmere sport coats, and jeans, however the brand boasts an often overlooked line of premium womenswear.
Softly constructed single, and double breasted jackets fuel the imagination with luxurious fabrics and plenty of hand stitching. The selection of pieces which include Silk dresses, scarfs, and shorts allow the modern woman to build a wardrobe with flexibility whether lounging by the pool, walking along the shore or conducting a Board Room meeting; Kiton’s fine selection of womenswear has few equals. A particular highlight of Kiton’s manufacturing process is that their fabric mills are owned by the brand and print a wide range of exclusive fabrics.
Kiton’s Fall 2021 womenswear collection featured a prominent selection of pieces in a fabric that has been dubbed “Millioniare’s Cashmere” by Kiton’s Creative Director, Maria Giovanna Paone. The Collection includes a wide range of pieces focused on versatility such as Jersey two-piece outfits, loungecoats, cardigans, as well as Silk shirts, loafers, and stylish wide cut jeans. Rich Earth tones are a collection hallmark. And if you’re considering visiting the Rockies or the Alps this Winter, do consider a few pieces from the brands “Ski-capsule” Collection. Jackets are priced from around $4,000 and expect to pay $2,000 or so for a dress. If “tailored, refined, and nonchalant” is your wardrobe philosophy few brands compare. Kiton’s Women’s Collection can be found at Kiton’s online store as well as locally at Debra C in the Carmel Crossroads.
