Stefano Cecchi

Grandson of Sir Gabriello Cecchi (1914-2000), an industrial entrepreneur and "Cavaliere of the Italian Republic", Stefano grew up between the United States and Great Britain, where he graduated in Economics in 1993.

[1] In 1999 Cecchi founded the record label Stefano Cecchi Records,[2][3][4][5] introducing the "Buddha Bar Collection" phenomenon to Italy and launching musical architecture projects for fashion brands and luxury items,[6][7][8] (LVMH, Fendi, Tod’s, Swatch, Vogue, Zegna, Maserati and Diesel).

Between 2000 and 2010 he co-created several fashion brands (Hydrogen,[9] Bikinifuxia and Melody Maker) and opened concept stores (San Carlo dal 1973).

[14][15][16][17] Thanks to his ability to predict new trends creating highly successful products, he was even mentioned in the Treccani Italian encyclopedia.

Stefano Cecchi’s net worth is estimated to be over 130 million euros as of 2025[22], and he is the major shareholder in four British funds that hold important collections of contemporary art, including one of the world's best-known Arte Povera collections.
