  • Hello and welcome to the Entrepreneurs on Monocle Radio.

  • The show all about inspiring people, innovative companies and fresh ideas in global business.

  • Today's show is all about fashion, from a heritage brand celebrating a significant anniversary to a fresh take on what's next for the sector.

  • First, we'll explore the importance of maintaining brand identity while evolving with the CEO of a renowned Italian menswear label.

  • You must reinvent yourself in order to address the ever evolving needs of so many different customers worldwide.

  • And I'll be joined by Monocle's fashion director, Natalie Theodosi for a fashion forecast.

  • There's a lot of industry change which will change what we see on the catwalk and what the designers propose we wear, but also behind the scenes, how these businesses run.

  • This is the Entrepreneurs with me.

  • Tom Edwards, you're listening to the Entrepreneurs.

  • Stefano Canelli is the CEO of the Canelli Group, a family owned luxury menswear brand founded in 1934 and renowned for its impeccable Italian craftsmanship.

  • As a third generation leader of the company, Stefano has been at the forefront of preserving its rich heritage while steering the brand towards a more sustainable future.

  • This year, Canali celebrates its 90th anniversary and to mark the occasion, I caught up with Stefano to hear more about his plans.

  • He began by telling me about the founding values of the company and how they've shaped Canali over the years.

  • Well, the company was established 90 years ago out of a necessity.

  • So my grandfather and his brother decided to team up in order to pursue a very interesting project that was to set up a workshop able to make and manufacture a piece of garment.

  • Very important.

  • Back then it was a suit.

  • Eventually suit kept on being very important for everybody in the following 90 years as it is today, as a matter of fact.

  • So they infused into this initiative of theirs two basic and founding principles.

  • It was respect and responsibility, which turned out to be the very important, inspiring principles that the Canali family acted on a daily basis in the following years and infused into the company, making sure that everybody working for the company acted the same way.
