Founded in 2017 by Luca Magliano in Bologna, the perpetual home of the Italian underground, MAGLIANO quickly emerged as a disruptive force in Italian fashion. The brand masterfully takes menswear fundamentals—such as the suit, shirt, and gilet—and imbues them with a dark, off-beat, and dishevelled attitude, heavily inspired by quintessentially Italian subcultures.
MAGLIANO’s approach is defined by sophisticated layering, radical silhouettes, and a commitment to "in-the-middle-wear," where the binarism of gender is irrelevant. Through its unique visual language and subtle surrealism, the brand redefines the classic Italian aesthetic, focusing on lived-in elegance. Crucially, MAGLIANO champions the authentic "Made in Italy" system, relying on a dynamic network of small and medium-sized producers who embody the brand's core values of passion, quality, and community.
We select MAGLIANO for its compelling identity and its unapologetic challenge to traditional sartorial codes. Luca Magliano’s work perfectly embodies our appreciation for pieces that are both beautifully made and rich in conversation, translating complex cultural narratives into wearable art. The brand's focus on high-low sophistication, impeccable structure, and the authentic Italian production system aligns seamlessly with Kimono Store's vision of offering contemporary, meaningful garments that are expressive, enduring, and boldly forward-thinking. MAGLIANO offers a unique form of luxury that speaks with a confident, modern voice.
