Peserico embodies the essence of Veneto tailoring and Italian craftsmanship, telling a story of passion, dedication and resilience. Founded in 1962 in Cornedo Vicentino, a picturesque town in the Veneto region of Italy, the brand began as a modest workshop specializing in women’s trousers under the skilled hands of its visionary founder, Maria Peserico.
Formally taking shape as a fashion house in 1975, Peserico reached a critical turning point when Maria’s husband, Giuseppe Peruffo, joined the company, contributing management expertise. Under Giuseppe’s guidance, the brand added contract work for major international labels to its portfolio and introduced Peserico’s first proprietary collection of trousers and skirts. By the 1990s, Peserico evolved from a focused offering to a full “total look” collection, embracing innovation while staying true to its Made in Italy heritage. Today, under the leadership of Riccardo Peruffo and his wife Paola Gonella, the second generation of the founding family, the brand blends artisanal precision with global growth.

The Madison Avenue boutique in New York serves as a fitting hub for Peserico’s contemporary elegance, catering to discerning shoppers seeking timeless designs.

Fall/Winter 2025: A Journey Through Time, Memory and Style
Peserico’s most recent fashion show told a story of how photography and fashion are united by a shared purpose: the ability to crystallize moments, telling tales of transformation and evolution. Peserico’s FW25 collections — spanning women’s, men’s and the exclusive Aurea line — embody this synergy, weaving a narrative about identity, memory and self-expression through craftsmanship, innovation and timeless design. Inspired by iconic photographers Lee Miller and Robert Capa, the collections challenge conventions, celebrating individuality and the enduring power of personal history.
The women’s FW25 collection evokes memory as a tactile and visual experience. With seasonal tones such as Clay Green, Ivory Yellow and Agate Lilac, the palette blends past and future in a composition of lasting warmth and understated femininity. Classic garments, such as tailored coats featuring brushed alpaca and jacquards, are reinvented with dynamic contrasts — sequined textures, blurred checks and flannel-shearling details. Elegant trousers in tweed and Prince of Wales patterns incorporate Lurex for contemporary flair, while knitwear adorned with micro-sequins delivers Nordic-inspired luxury. Structured viscose and fil coupé voile add ethereal lightness, complemented by an informal subcollection of corduroy pieces, treated cottons, and matelassé sweatshirts. The result is a wardrobe that invites wearers to “dress memory and the future.”
The Aurea FW25 collection heightens this theme with its exploration of light and transformation. Inspired by Lee Miller’s artistic mastery, the collection juxtaposes sharp contrasts — Starry Sky Blue, black, white and Amber Beige — to create harmony in duality. Fluid velvets, the standout feature, create mesmerizing reflections across dresses, jumpsuits, and jackets, while delicate embroidery enriches satin and velvet fabrics. Innovation emerges in fil coupé dresses, tubular alpaca gauzes adorned with sequins, and combed wools with dégradé laminations. Handmade craftsmanship shines in the Maison’s iconic Punto Luce jacquards and soft bouclé nets, underscoring Peserico’s dedication to luxury that’s rooted in transformation.
Every piece tells its own story, capturing moments with a signature blend of texture, luminosity, and shadow.
Finally, the men’s FW25 collection strikes a balance between elegance and utility, drawing inspiration from Robert Capa’s philosophy of liberation and authenticity in attire. Designed with both comfort and sophistication in mind, flannel overshirts, padded jackets and water-repellent tailored coats blend archival references with modern technology. Artisanal suits crafted from Italian-milled fabrics offer effortless wearability, while trousers — Peserico’s signature — feature premium materials and versatile easy wear options.
Spring/Summer 2025: Breathtaking

Peserico’s SS25 collection, “Movimento delle Idee” (Movements of Ideas), explores the journey of an idea, beginning as a dream — a luminous fusion of past memories and future visions. Inspired by Geraldine Cobb (1931–2019), a trailblazing aviatrix who aspired to become an astronaut, the collection highlights how ambitious dreams and ideas in motion can shape new realities, fostering evolution and creative expression.

Peserico has concluded 2024 on a high note, reporting €125 million in revenue amid steady international growth. And in a turbulent global market, Peserico is succeeding by staying true to its roots.
