'''Rubinacci''' is an Italian luxury clothing company founded in Naples, Italy in 1932 by Gennaro Rubinacci under the name of the ''London House''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/rubinacci-london-house-new/|title=Rubinacci London House At New Address|first=Sven Raphael|last=Schneider|website=Gentleman's Gazette}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Five Italian brands we rate - and why |url=https://www.thegentlemansjournal.com/article/four-italian-brands-rate-gentleman/ |access-date=2026-04-10 |website=www.thegentlemansjournal.com |language=en}}</ref> The idea Rubinacci had was to create unstructured, unlined jackets meant to be worn outside of the office. Among his early clients were filmmaker Vittorio De Sica and journalist Curzio Malaparte.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-rubinacci-bespoke-suit/|title=Get Suited by the Best Bespoke Tailor on Earth|last=Coggins|first=David|date=2016-09-20|website=www.bloomberg.com|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-03-31}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-01-17 |title=Why a Storied Neapolitan Tailoring House Is Joining Milan Fashion Week |url=https://wwd.com/menswear-news/mens-designer-luxury/rubinacci-neapolitan-tailoring-house-makes-milan-fashion-week-debut-1236849501/ |access-date=2026-04-10 |website=WWD |language=en-US}}</ref>

==History==
[[Image:Luca-rubinacci.jpg |thumb|200px|right| Luca Rubinacci is in charge of the brand’s ready-to-wear category]]
The history of Rubinacci began with art collector Gennaro Rubinacci's own tailoring emporium; he opened ''London House'', at 25 Via Gaetano Filangieri.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.permanentstyle.com/2010/08/interview-mariano-rubinacci.html|title=Permanent Style}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Suit jacket styles |url=https://www.suitsexpert.com/blog/mens-suit-styles/}}</ref> In 1961, Gennaro's son, Mariano, took control of the company. In 1963, he changed its name to ''Rubinacci'', maintaining the initials of the original name in the logo. Later, a branch was opened in Milan, in 1989, and in London in 2005.<ref name="auto"/>
As of 2018, Luca Rubinacci, Gennaro's grandson, is the creative director of Rubinacci, and responsible for launching the firm's ready-to-wear line.
