Luciano Soprani (1946 – 23 October 1999) was an Italian fashion designer known for his tailored, colourful men's suits and silk evening gowns.
Soprani was born in Reggiolo[1] in 1946[citation needed] to a family of farmers[1] in the province of Reggio Emilia. After studying agriculture, he decided that he was more interested in fashion, and in 1967 he joined the local firm of Max Mara[1] in Reggio Emilia. He stayed there for nearly eight years,[1] before moving to Milan in 1974.[2] As a freelancer, he worked with labels such as Heliette, Basile, Nazareno, Gabrielli and Gucci.[2]
