Jason Basmajian, chief creative officer of Cerruti 1881 in the 2015-2019 period, said “Nino was a gentleman with old school manners, a curious mind, and a very modern perspective. He was a visionary designer far ahead of his time quietly inventing a relaxed effortless style focused on beautiful cuts and innovative textiles. His powerful clothes were always relevant and fresh yet somehow timeless. He gave a soul to garments. He paired t-shirts and trainers with suits far before it was a trend.
In October 2000, in an effort to secure global expansion, Cerruti sold 51 percent of his company to the now-defunct Fin.Part, which would less than a year later buy the rest of the company and force the designer out after irreconcilable differences. “There was a perpetual conflict of interest,” Cerruti said later. For this reason, the last collection designed by Cerruti was for spring 2002.
Since 2000, Cerruti focused on the family-owned textile mill business Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti in Biella. After Fin.part’s bankruptcy in 2005, Cerruti was sold to the American private equity firm MatlinPatterson, but the brand was once again sold to China’s Trinity Ltd. in 2010. As reported, earlier this month Trinity was put into liquidation.
