Personal life

[edit]

Grandson of Sir Gabriello Cecchi (1914-2000), an industrial entrepreneur and "Cavaliere of the Italian Republic", Stefano grew up between the United States and Great Britain, where he graduated in Economics in 1993.

Career

[edit]

In the 1990s he opened and developed fashion agencies in London (Wild and Next).[1] In 1999 Cecchi founded the record label Stefano Cecchi Records,[2][3][4][5] introducing the "Buddha Bar Collection" phenomenon to Italy and launching musical architecture projects for fashion brands and luxury items,[6][7][8] (LVMH, Fendi, Tod’s, Swatch, Vogue, Zegna, Maserati and Diesel).

Between 2000 and 2010 he co-created several fashion brands (Hydrogen,[9] Bikinifuxia and Melody Maker) and opened concept stores (San Carlo dal 1973).[10][11][12]

In 2014 he rebranded and relaunched the Gelati Cecchi 1936 family company.[13][14][15][16]

In 2003 he joined the Board of the Torino Football Club.[17]

Thanks to his ability to predict new trends creating highly successful products, he was even mentioned in the Treccani Italian encyclopedia.[18][19][20]

As of 2021, he is focused on asset-backed investments and has set up the London-based private equity fund "Fondo per l'Arte - FpA",[21] which invests in modern and contemporary art with a particular interest in emerging artists.
