The Attico

The Attico was founded in 2017 in Milan by Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio, two Italian fashion editors who had been known as some of the most-followed Instagram presences in international fashion before launching their own brand. The Attico (Italian for 'penthouse') was conceived from the start as a couture-level evening wear and ready-to-wear brand with a specific Italian-glamour-meets-1970s-Studio-54 sensibility. The Attico vocabulary settled around several signatures: silk slip dresses in vivid prints, sequinned cocktail pieces, the brand's iconic Devon and Berenice mules (worn by Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and a generation of Instagram-visible women), animal-print outerwear, and a sustained engagement with archival Italian glamour references. The product is consistently among the most-photographed pieces in social-media fashion documentation. The Attico is independent and held by Tordini and Ambrosio. The brand operates a flagship store in Milan (Via Manzoni) plus a Forte dei Marmi summer location and international wholesale through Net-a-Porter, MATCHES, Mytheresa, and Bergdorf Goodman. Few young Italian brands have built such a consistent visual identity around Italian-glamour archive references — and few have leveraged founder-as-Instagram-influencer status as effectively for product launch.
