CAMICISSIMA

An Italian Excellence that Conquers the Fashion World

This story begins with the constancy, tenacity, and love of a man who managed to become an industrialist in the first half of the 1900s: Cavaliere Giovanni Candido.

In 1931, he founded "FENICIA," the trusted shirt: an example of entrepreneurial skill and passion for one's work capable of giving great satisfaction despite the approaching Second World War.

After 1947, it was a continuous evolution: starting with a dozen employees, it continued to grow until quadrupling its workforce.

Success came for Cavaliere Candido, but the real turning point came in the 1960s thanks to the son of Cavaliere Giovanni, Gaspare, who took over the production, with the introduction of the "just in time" production theory.

With an operational staff that reached 320 employees, by engaging in a work of qualification of the workforce and the intermediate departments, sensitive to the new needs of the market that required fit and comfort, he decided for a continuous renewal of the collections.

As with all the great Italian companies born with genius as capital, tenacity as guarantee, and courage as vision, the historic workshop was only the springboard for what would later become the company, Fenicia known internationally, so much so that in 1967, Cavaliere Giovanni Candido, deserved the Premio Mercurio d'Oro, which is awarded to some industries that are meritorious of productive development and economic cooperation.

In the 1980s, the third generation obtained licenses for prestigious international brands such as Krizia Uomo, Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain, and Pierre Cardin.

Today, under the leadership of Fabio and Sergio Candido, Camicissima continues to be synonymous with quality and tradition. With over 130 stores in Italy, 200 in China, and over 40 stores in the rest of the world, the company has conquered the global market. In 2016, Camicissima joined the Elite program of Borsa Italiana, confirming its commitment to international growth.

A story of success in continuous growth because it is faithful to the values of its founder, Cavaliere Giovanni Candido: undisputed sartorial quality, continuous search for perfection, attention to artisanal details.
