In 1998 Gianni Campagna acquired the world famous Sartoria Domenico Caraceni label. Founded in 1928, Caraceni created the images of many actors including, Tyrone Powers, Humphry Bogart, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. The Caraceni label is also famous for dressing generations of The Kings of Greece and Italy, The Price of Whales, Prince Rainier of Monaco, and Onassis. The history of Caraceni characterizes the current collection. Jacket lengths vary from fairly short and almost reaching the seat, as once worn by Fred Astaire, or long, "Hollywood" style like those worn by Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster, with hip hugging characteristics. Caraceni is a return to the men’s style of the 1950’s. A man conveying great self-confidence, but at the same time radiating an irresistible charm while nonchalantly stating his reassuring masculinity. The Domenico Caraceni line creates about 1,000 hand made garments a year.
