Historia
Ilaria Sartori founded her eponymous studio after serving as the head of knitwear for Rick Owens between 2004 and 2014. The brand is recognized for its integration of traditional Italian craftsmanship with experimental, avant-garde design principles. It plays a role in the contemporary dark-wear scene, emphasizing the physical properties of yarn and fabric. The label’s history is defined by its transition from high-fashion collaboration to independent, research-driven textile development.
