Just the Woman I am

Each woman has her own style and styles, not necessarily all in perfect harmony with each other. Leaving behind the constraints of consistency, it is nice to get lost in the cocoon embrace of pure cashmere. Combining cropped pants with minimal boots or high-tech sneakers and going from the geometry of a men's coat to the modernity of an eco-sustainable blouson. Choosing fluid, light, and modular garments designed to slide on the body like a balm or exclusive pieces to love and keep.

ama-brand

Sneakers with a vintage feel, fusing retro inspirations and new trends, between shapes of the past and materials that look to the future in a sustainable and tech-oriented version. They are called SUPERun and combine a tread made of entirely recycled and recyclable material, a gritty livery, and a light and flexible EVA midsole. This structure ensures perfect stability.

André Maurice Cashmere

Culture, perfumes, and shades define the Genius Loci that inspires the collection. The brand goes back to its roots: the Montferrat region and the comfort that this land can offer during the gloomy winter days. The charm of discovering each time different and simple environments, alongside precious decorations. A unique legacy to enhance and preserve.

Avant-toi

Dreaming of the North and tackling challenging territories, wearing cocoon garments. The silk line is mixed with coarse wool that recalls Ireland with its sweater featuring clouds, while the ribbed pullover presents fur-stitched sleeves. The natural inspiration culminates in the animal-print sweater in cashmere and silk, and a maxi floral bouquet on impalpable sweaters. Wide scarves with pockets, ribbed for a frosty effect, with needled silk or fur stitch inserts.

Candice Cooper

Joie de vivre at its best. And again, an ideal that channels lightheartedness and dynamism to reach women worldwide. These are the distinguishing traits of each collection by Candice Cooper, closely connected to Italian craftsmanship and raw materials' quality. The brand's logo also recalls its ties to the Italian tradition: the cicada, a symbol of hot Mediterranean summers.

flavialarocca

A wardrobe that constantly renews itself. Sometimes genderless, the garments are modules to be combined. Contemporary and geometric lines for a dialogue between seasonal perspectives and functional design. The ability to wear the same piece in different ways extends its life cycle. All collections choose natural materials, recycled or produced with low environmental impact technologies.

Kids of Broken Future

A collection intended as social criticism and an invitation to create an alternative reality. It evokes a world that fluctuates between reality and fantasy, virtual and physical, past and future. The artist Wayne Horse collaborates on this project lending his anthropological vision of the human condition. With the idea that his finished works are always a collage of real and fantastic elements.

ma' ry' ya

Unisex, timeless, and with a luxury soul. This is the ma'ry'ya concept, a symbol of natural and essential elegance via everyday knitwear, easy to wear anywhere. Premium materials, processed in Italy, except for the Japanese denim. The focus is on the impalpable softness of cashmere, silk, cotton, wool and linen.

Maurizio Massimino

A collection that creatively reinterprets classic styles. Led by a passion for vintage and tactile materials, the collection features satin, velvet, nylon, and details inspired by the worlds of the army and drapery. Trousers that mix textures, colors, and designs. Reinvented tailored velvet jackets that reference familiar styles.

Nun 1970

Looking back to ancient Egypt for a unique collection made up of pieces that perfectly combine. Each garment reflects beauty filtered through the millennia. The ancient pyramids and the Sphinx enter the 21st-century boutiques with a luxury collection in pure cashmere. The papyrus flower inspires precious jacquard techniques on capes, cardigans, and sweaters. The golden lurex and silk further elevate the theme.

Pierre-Louis Mascia

An artist's journey through color. Pierre-Louis Mascia condenses this research into sixteen exclusive prints, dividing the palettes into pixels, as in a chromatic moodboard. We move from a two-dimensional space onto a 3D environment, with garments developing the brand's typical silhouettes. Enveloping outerwear, layers of light textures in contrast with full-bodied fabrics, all in harmonious nuances.

Reamerei

A passion for contrasts and elements of continuity, such as allover prints and multicolor patterns. Velvet dresses alternate with large wool coats, in a dialogue between oversized and slim shapes, redesigning the body. Victorian-style sleeves match with oriental-style trousers, while the floral taste of knitted applications plays down army-inspired pieces.
