Kiton 2022: passion and quality

The Kiton Neapolitan savoir-faire conquers the world

We can call it Kitonism: that tendency to do things in the best possible way, searching and choosing always and only the best. Kiton talks to the “sophisticated connoisseurs of all generations”, and it does so through a cosmopolitan Collection originating from the best fusion between tradition and innovation. 

Kiton Clothing, history of passion and “hand-made”

Founded in Arzano (Naples) in 1968 by Ciro Paone and Antonio Carola, Kiton owes its name to the chiton, ancient ceremonial tunic worn by the ancient Greeks during their prayers to the Gods. Maybe it is this homage to the most ancient deities that gave an unprecedented success to the Neapolitan maison, with showrooms in New York, London, ten shops scattered all over the world and Palazzo Ferrè as its new headquarters in Milan. 

A 100% Italian production chain with five factories, from Naples to Biella, producing dresses, jackets, shoes, shirt and accessories.
Rigorously handmade clothes, and thus available in limited editions. Unique in its genre is the famous Kiton suit model K-50, the production of which requires about 50 hours, with a final cost that exceeds 50,000 dollars.

The Kiton Collection in the Rione Fontana shops

Why should you choose Kiton? To give space to quality and Italian values, one more time. To rediscover the love for things made with passion, heart and hands. In the Rione Fontana shops and in our Official Online Store, we have chosen to propose a narrow selection of KNT Kiton garments. 

Born from the revolutionary textile research behind the project KNT – Kiton New Textures, the men’s t-shirts are made in GIZA-45 cotton, light and elastic with hand-embroidered micro logo in contrast on the front.
The Kiton jacket in camouflage tech fabric meets the urban needs with a structure in soft stretch-polyamide that guarantees an unprecedented comfort.

It would be simplistic to call them merely shoes. They are the new cotton sneakers model FIT, with structure in Kiton mesh fabric and flexible, extra-light sole: these shoes are symbol of quality and research, handmade by expert artisans.

A school to learn the art

“If the world does not produce tailors,
we must do our best to create them”.

Ciro Paone

The visionary dimension of Ciro Paone looks at the future with a Haute Couture School founded in 2000, to train a new generation of qualified tailors. The project aims to create a direct link between the world of education and training to the world of work, encouraging teamwork with workshops and tailored projects run by the best KIton master artisans.

An enlightened choice that meets the needs of the contemporary world and safeguards an ancient profession that appears to be more and more forgotten.
