The brand gained international recognition through its association with high-profile entertainers and its reinterpretation of historical Italian motifs. It played a pivotal role in fashion history by popularizing the 'Sicilian widow' aesthetic and integrating lingerie as outerwear. The house remains a significant influence on global luxury trends and Mediterranean-inspired design.
