Beauty, style and sophistication, handcraft and innovation, passion for excellence. These are the values that generate a luxury made of substance and not merely of appearance.

The study of altered geometries, shapes and volumes, and of relationships between body and space, characterizes an experimental approach in the construction of the item of clothing,
The result is a fresh and essential aesthetic, characterized by a contemporary and linear style, bared up to the concept essence.
The minimal cuts are studied in order to highlight the close attention paid for details which are designed to have aesthetic value in its own right.
Each model has a sophisticated touch that will never go unobserved.

The couture world build up the reference background of the brand, as you can see in the garments construction and in some handmade details. The sartorial know-how combines with creative innovation through the decomposition of classical patterns and structures. The in-depth study behind each garment guarantees the value of durability, a key point in Gaiofatto. This endless research puts every single piece in a new space beyond ephemeral trends.
The use of precious and innovative materials which marries the wisdom of craftsmanship in a production process that is all “Made in Italy” completes the high pro le of the brand. The production focuses on key pieces so everything is created to be special and whoever wears Gaiofatto can feels special too.
Each collection is aimed at satisfying the needs of a cross-age, clearly identi able woman: demanding and cultured, conscious about the environment where she lives and about the continuous evolution happening around her. She is a sophisticated and independent woman, proud of her nature, which is masterly shown by her femininity. For her wardrobe she looks for exclusivity and real quality, appreciating also the stylistic originality, without never being ordinary and egocentric.
