Marco Rambaldi’s Bolognian childhood and background in product design informs his mission to pair skilled local artisans with high quality materials and place the results on a global stage. Inspired by bourgeois aesthetics from 1970s Italy, Rambaldi’s namesake label merges historical youth references with contemporary counterculture to form a romanticised explosion of colour and texture. An antidote to mass production, the brand leads with a focus on handcrafted knitwear, patchworking frivolous crochet motifs alongside form-fitting twin sets enlivened with padded cartoon-like embroidery. Marco Rambaldi narrates a new code of conservation and subversion as he redefines femininity on a reality-reflecting range of genders and body types.
