There are brands that take decades to earn that word and never quite get there. Martin got there by refusing to make fashion that could have come from anywhere else. Every material, silhouette, cultural reference points back to the same place: a country far more complex and far more beautiful than the version the world has always been sold. Misci is the correction. And it is only just getting started.
A selection that tracks how the sofa became a marker of design, comfort and identity. From Italian greats refreshed with sustainable materials to recent projects with couture-level detailing, each piece offers a different take on contemporary living. These are icons and authorial designs that bridge past and present, art and function — where ergonomics, innovation and lasting beauty meet.
Zimmermann is bigger now, more professional, more global. And yet the clothes never feel anonymous. Every dress still carries something of that Sydney garage within it, the pleasure of making things yourself, the view out toward the Pacific. Perhaps that’s undoubtedly where the secret lies.

Twenty-five years in, the Aston Martin Vanquish has never been more itself.

Lardini’s story starts in 1978 in Filottrano, a small town near Ancona. Luigi, Andrea, and Lorena Lardini were barely out of their teens when they took over their father’s tailoring business and, step by step, shaped it into something of their own. It was a moment when Italian fashion was gaining global momentum, but their route didn’t begin on a catwalk. It began in the workroom.
