The designer, Leo E. Cerruti (1905-1997), was a larger-than-life figure in luxury apparel for the better part of a century. His entrée into the industry began during high school as a jacquard designer for a textile mill, and by age 21 he was the highest-paid textile technician in the country. Bolstered from the support of none other than Countess Mara herself, he eventually found success as a businessman and designer, whose fashion lines regularly played with novelty silk prints and exaggerated masculine silhouettes.
