How Kiton’s US$100,000 K50 suit is made

Kiton’s bespoke suits are haute couture for men: STYLE visited the Italian fashion house to see the making of a US$100,000 K50 suit Founded by textile visionary Ciro Paone, Kiton is a bastion of Campania’s artisanal tailoring skills, using baby cashmere and 12.8 micron wool, and 25 to 50 hours of handicrafting, to create its suits Tucked away behind a palm tree-lined avenue on the outskirts of Naples is the Kiton workshop – a mythical place where rolls of ultrafine fabric arrive at one end of the building and some of the world’s most expensive suits leave at the other. We received a rare invitation to look behind the scenes at this Italian temple of tailoring. Explore the A-list lifestyle with our newsletter.
