In 1956 a faulty stock of socks manufactured by Maglificio Calzaturificio Torinese (MCT), a company established by Abramo Vitale in 1916, was mistakenly distributed on the market. Retailers returned the goods and MCT, to give the product renewed strength and credibility, branded the new collection’s packaging with a “K” and the German caption “Kontroll”. From that moment customers only ordered the socks with the K – and in a short time Kappa® became a leader of the socks and underwear market. In 1968 Kappa® further evolved following the events unfolding at the time that would change history – 23-yr-old Maurizio Vitale, the founder’s great-grandson and newly-appointed managing director, saw John Lennon interviewed on TV, wearing a military shirt belonging to a casualty of the Vietnam war. Thus he had an intuition destined to conquer a market eager for casual and unisex clothes: Maurizio Vitale had thousands of unsold T-shirts, that were lying in warehouses, dyed green and customised with military stars and insignia. It was the birth of the Robe di Kappa® brand - as the new products were called – which reached a vast target of young consumers and entered the collective imagination with the creation of the “Omini” logo – the silhouette of a young couple sitting back to back, emphasising how the polo shirt, the new brand’s iconic item, is for both men and women.

From sports gear to urban style: in 2016 – exactly 60 years from the brand’s creation - Kappa® is back on the world’s street style scene thanks to its iconic products that caught the attention of international stylists and designers, spawning important collaborations with Marcelo Burlon and Faith Connexion, leading to a collection by Russian designer and photographer Gosha Rubchinskiy, whose collections, inspired by post-USSR youth culture are produced by Comme des Garçons, who included Kappa® in their Pitti show. Currently the “Omini”, are part of the “youth culture” influenced by Selena Gomez, Lewis Hamilton, and Kyle Jenner, just to name a few, who choose to wear Kappa® thus providing inspiration to millions of followers, and once more bringing the brand in the limelight of a new contemporary aesthetics.
