Reviving Tradition.
Redefining American Elegance.
Rooted in Italian Heritage.
As co-founder of Brigati, Ricardo set out to do more than launch a label—he sought to awaken the collective memory of a life lived with intention, beauty, and grace. Inspired by neoclassical aesthetics and rooted in his Italian heritage, Brigati pays homage to a time when craftsmanship was revered, and style whispered rather than shouted.
"Reviving Tradition. Redefining American Elegance"
Inspired by neoclassical aesthetics and rooted in his Italian heritage, Brigati pays homage to a time when craftsmanship was revered and style whispered rather than shouted.
The name itself—Brigati—is drawn from his grandmother’s maiden name, a quiet tribute to family, lineage, and legacy. Each collection is an ode to the refined restraint and buon gusto of the old world, reimagined for the discerning American who longs for something timeless. Brigati is not fast fashion—it’s fashion that lasts, that lingers, that remembers.
Designed for men and women who embody quiet confidence, Brigati reintroduces the US market to a European mindset—one that celebrates la dolce vita, the stories behind the seams, and a lifestyle of purpose over pretense.
This revival is also a family affair. Ricardo’s stepmother, Cheryl Herger, an emerging force in the fashion industry, plays an active role in growing the brand’s presence, marking a new chapter for a family deeply rooted in style and storytelling.
