Mr Maurizio Baldassari

Brand founder of Maurizio Baldassari Brera

Mr Maurizio Baldassari is a distinguished Italian designer renowned for supporting the concept of a total look, which he interprets as a modern take on formal wear. In 1983, he made his mark in the fashion industry by launching his first collection of men’s wear and accessories. Each season, Maurizio Baldassari's collections showcase evolving themes and trends, yet the overarching image of the brand remains consistent: it is dedicated to catering to the desires of the strong and self-confident man in pursuit of contemporary elegance for every occasion. With nearly 50 years of history, the brand upholds the same foundational principles. Today, it continues under the stewardship of Maurizio’s sons, Renato and Roberto. Renato manages customer relations and oversees the English and American markets, while Roberto focuses on fabric research, production, and relationships in Japan, China, and other Asian markets, ensuring the brand remains true to its heritage and vision.
