Maury Riad

Maury talking the future of Fortuny

Summarizing the history of Italian fabric brand Fortuny is difficult in the space of a short article, or even an hourlong podcast. A tale that begins with a brilliant 19th century inventor and winds its way through world wars, counts and countesses, and tragic car crashes on the Triborough Bridge, it’s a subject probably best suited to an epic historical novel—or at least a Netflix series. But suffice it to say, after a very dramatic 70 years in business, in the 1990s the company found itself in the hands of two twentysomething brothers—Mickey and Maury Riad—who had never run a business and had never made fabric.
