Trigonometry in tailoring

  • • Franco holds the secrets of Master Antonio Napoliello
  • • International prizes celebrate him as an outstanding sartorial craftsman
  • • He is a guardian of Venetian style

Franco Puppato has reached the 50-year mark in his career, but his spirit and energy are still those of a beginner. His tailor shop, founded in 1964 a few steps from the San Marco square in Venice, attracts clients from all over the world, eager to experience the Puppato treatment: a unique blend of subtle sartorial technique and passion for “quality, elegance and distinction”. His secret is mastering his craft so keenly in the design phase that he then has the confidence to set his creativity completely free in the expressive part, working on embellishments that make every piece unique. This has earned him several national and international awards.
