Ciro Paone

Kiton

Ciro Paone founded Kiton in 1968 with a commitment to handcrafted clothing and the traditions of fine tailoring. His approach linked the quality of an individual garment to the skills of the people making it. The family’s next generation carried that philosophy forward, combining inherited sartorial knowledge with new techniques.
