The initial success of gentryportofino stems from the vision of Camillo Bertelli: his intention was not limited to the creation of garments in cashmere, he wanted to weave emotions. Cashmere, to him, was not only the matter, but especially the creative potential. For this reason, gentryportofino immediately became a workshop of ideas for many emerging designers, who shared the vision of the founder. Like Enrico Coveri, who in 1975 designed the first real gentryportofino collection. Which was followed, in 1977, by Gianfranco Ferré, who signed every collection until 1979. Then other authoritative names as Martin Margiela, Saverio Palatella and Christina Kim followed. Gentryportofino vision and ideas became so much a center of gravity in the fashion industry, that celebrated and influential brands like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Zoran entrusted Gentryportofino with the implementation of their work.
