Biography

Fiorucci was initially launched in Milan back in 1967 by Elio Fiorucci, the son of a shoe shop owner who felt inspired when returning home from a trip to London's Carnaby Street. After finding fans in the likes of Madonna and Andy Warhol, the label quickly shot to worldwide fame and became the 'It' brand to be seen in. From becoming a pop-culture institution in itself to inventing the first stretch denim, the label's influence cannot be exaggerated. And, 50 years after the first store opened, Fiorucci relaunched on London's Brewer Street in 2017, just a stone's throw from where its founder first found his inspiration.
