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.

Signature pieces

  • Sloop corduroy jacket
  • Garment-dyed linen shirt
  • Watercolour-dyed cashmere knit
  • Winch cotton trouser
