Life and career
[edit | edit source]Born in Bastia Umbra, Lancetti studied at the Accademia San Bernardino di Betto in Perugia, and in 1954 he moved to Rome where he opened an atelier in Via Margutta.[1] In 1961, he launched his first ready-to-wear at Palazzo Pitti in Florence, and in 1963 he had his breakout with a military-inspired collection.[1]
Between late 1960s and 1970s Lancetti presented several collections inspired by famous painters, which got him the nickname of "sarto pittore" ("tailor painter").[1] He got significant international success, notably in Japan, and he dressed many celebrities, including Audrey Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Silvana Mangano, Annie Girardot, Queen Paola of Belgium, Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary, Salima Aga Khan.[1][2] In 2002, he sold his company to a Turin-based group and retired.[3] He died after a long illness on 8 March 2007, at the age of 74.[1][3]
