Eleventy and Vince are two quietly luxurious labels that share an understated, neutral-palette wardrobe. Eleventy was founded in Milan in 2007 by best friends Marco Baldassari (menswear creative director) and Paolo Zuntini (womenswear), with Andrea Scuderi joining as partner in 2009; its pitch is smart luxury - logo-free, unstructured tailoring and cashmere knits in beige, grey and white, made through a network of around 94 family-run Italian ateliers, with the laser-cut Magic Jacket as its bestseller since day one. VEI Capital took 51 percent in 2014 and the brand opened its US headquarters in New York in 2016, followed by a Madison Avenue flagship. Vince was established in Los Angeles in 2002 by Rea Laccone and Christopher LaPolice as a line of minimalist essentials built on ultra-soft cashmere knits and cotton tees; menswear arrived in 2007, Kellwood bought the company in 2006, it listed on the NYSE as VNCE in 2013, and Authentic Brands Group acquired its intellectual property in 2023. Design still happens in the Los Angeles atelier, with the company headquartered in New York.
