House of Azzaro (French, founded 1967)

Loris AZZARO opened his couture house at 65 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris and presents his first collection at the Grand Hôtel de Paris. After Loris AZZARO death in 2003, the Azzaro brand pursues its fashion business with guidance from various artistic directors. In Couture, Arnaud Maillard and Alvaro Castejón take on the brand's artistic direction as a team, with the aim of modernizing it while retaining the highest respect for its heritage and identity. Forty-five years after it was founded, Azzaro reopens the doors to its Salon de Couture, offering a unique and glamorous night-time atmosphere making use of black, silver and mirrors.
