Ermenegildo Zegna, world leader in luxury menswear, has given life to the #UseTheExisting sustainability project. Born with the Ermenegildo Zegna XXX Fall / Winter 2019 collection, #UseTheExisting is a fundamental project that marks the brand's commitment to realize the dream of a world of zero waste by increasing the use of wool and technical materials manufactured from pre-existing sources and the reuse of post-consumer products. #UseTheExisting is a way of thinking: our guiding principle behind all our efforts, in order to transform the entire production process and reduce waste to a minimum.
