Vitaldi Babani opened his textile and couture house in 1894 on the Boulevard Haussmann in Paris. Along with Maria Monacci Gallenga, Babani was one of the followers of the style inaugurated by Mariano Fortuny at the turn of the century. Madame Babani is considered to be the true creator, the soul of the house, although her husband, and later her son, are responsible for its management. She offered kimonos, Liberty fabrics and Fortuny's creations. She soon added her own creations, inspired by medieval, Renaissance and Oriental styles, with a strong taste for bright colours and lamé fabrics. The company closed around 1930.
