History
Established in Turin in 1971, Brooksfield developed within the expanding Italian textile sector. The brand achieved cultural significance during the 1980s as a key label for the Paninari, a youth subculture that integrated international sportswear with European tailoring. Known for its mallard duck emblem, the company contributed to the mid-century Anglo-Italian style. It occupies a specific place in fashion history for its consistent application of classic patterns to contemporary casual clothing.
