Founded in Bologna, Italy, in 2017, Marco Rambaldi's brand is a prominent voice in new Italian fashion, built on a philosophy of inclusion, upcycling, and what the designer calls a "new, post-romantic poetic." After training in knitwear at Dolce & Gabbana, Rambaldi established a label that collides the world of the 1970s Italian bourgeoisie with a younger, subversive energy. The brand's most recognizable signatures are its expertly crafted knitwear and intricate crochet pieces, many of which are sustainably made by assembling antique doilies—a technique inspired by the designer’s great-grandmother. This practice transforms domestic heirlooms into contemporary symbols of a powerful and feminist vision. The brand offers a complete ready-to-wear collection, but its heart lies in multicolored jacquard knits, mohair lace dresses, and unique crochet garments. Rambaldi's runway shows are celebrated for their authentic, street-cast models of all ages, sizes, and genders, reflecting a core belief in community and kindness. This approach has earned the brand significant press and industry support, including from Valentino’s former creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. By reinterpreting "Made in Italy" craftsmanship through a socially conscious lens, Marco Rambaldi champions a vision of fashion that is both emotionally resonant and culturally defiant.
