MARCOMARTINCO

The brand MarcoMartinco was born in Rome in 2009 and is designed by Maria Angela Schiavoni and Marta Maietta. After having studied at the “Accademia di Costume e Moda”, the two designers worked in different fashion companies and later decided to launch their own brand.

As the two have different tastes when it comes to fashion, they invented Marco Martinco, a character that could embody a new taste, unifying both. The male name emphasizes a new kind of femininity and draws attention to the strong presence of pieces in the collection that are inspired by the male classical wardrobe, especially blazers and shirts – a must in the collection.

The first collection is spring summer ‘11, and it is followed by the others, more and more characterized by a strong style, resulting from a growing understanding between the designers.
The choices tend to soft volumes, their simplicity makes each piece versatile. Simplicity and lightness are enhanced by contrasting elements, such as rougher materials or metal accessories, which give the whole look a strong edge, making it unique and recognizable.
The look also gives much importance to sex appeal which is very present but in a hidden, discrete way. The pieces are never shameless but rather give the body freedom to express itself. It is meant for a woman who is sensual but elegant, a woman who does not feel the need to show off her body to be sexy.
