CERRUTI Nino (Designer)

Jack Nicholson wears loose linen separates by Cerruti in the film The Witches of Eastwick (1987). "Fashion, ultimately, is a way of describing the world we live in", says Cerruti, a philosophy that applies itself not only to the world of fashion but also to film _ he has designed costumes for over sixty movies. Cerruti initially studied philosophy and wanted to become a writer, but in 1950 he took over the family textile business in northern Italy. His launch of a menswear range, Hitman, in 1957 was the start of the company's transformation into a luxury label. A women's ready-to-wear collection followed in 1977. Epitomizing the aspirational dressing of the 1980s, the Cerruti label was used in films such as Wall Street (1987). In the 1990s, Cerruti's womenswear enjoyed a period of success while it was designed by Narciso Rodriguez, who introduced contemporary themes such as transparent, embroidered fabrics worn with precise tailoring.
