Created in 1980, the Ritratti Milano is aimed at the higher end of the corsetry and swimwear market. The name Ritratti Milano expresses the goal of all the products in this line: to portray and enhance the femininity of every woman thanks to the shapes and intensity of the colors.

It was immediately a great success and sparked the spark that ignited the minds of customers who would never have thought of a real luxury product in haute couture also capable of guaranteeing such a perfect fit, a stylistic and technical prodigy that did not lack immediately gain a niche of very sophisticated admirers.

In 2005 Ritratti Milano invented the true icon of corsetry: the Star Cup® bra. An innovative bra that knew how to enhance the décolletés. Other innovations followed that went around the world and definitively proclaimed Ritratti Milano as an example of Italian excellence.

In February 2007, Ritratti Milano was elected "Designer of the Year" by the jury of "Paris, Capitale de la Création", a prestigious recognition, obtained thanks to the strong stylistic contents that Ritratti Milano was able to include in its collections and the constant commitment to research and use of high quality materials that have always distinguished its choices.

Since 2012 the brand has been owned by Tex Zeta based in Carvico (BG) Italy. The other brands of the company are Imec, Jaloe and Franca Von Wunster.
