Massimo Alba
Milan, Italy — founded 2006
Massimo Alba spent years designing knitwear for other houses before opening his own, and the collection keeps that palette-first logic: a colour is chosen, then a garment is dyed into it until the shade looks used.
The shapes are soft and slightly undersized in the shoulder, cut for a holiday wardrobe rather than an office one.
The tell
The tell is the colour: garment-dyed linen and corduroy washed until the dye sits unevenly along the seams, on a jacket that has plainly forgotten it was ever stiff.
