The Attico Opens First Store, in Ibiza
Italian fashion label The Attico has opened its first standalone boutique in Ibiza. Located in a newly developed area of the island, the store is the first in a series of concept-driven flagships. A second opening is set for Seoul later this year, with a Milan store also planned. Founded in 2016 by Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, The Attico started with a focused collection of robe-inspired silhouettes. Nearly a decade later, the brand offers a full lifestyle range including ready-to-wear, swimwear and accessories — all made in Italy, aside from intricate embroidery, which is crafted in India. (Courtesy) Each of the planned stores will be inspired by different rooms of an imagined apartment — an approach that mirrors the brand's long-standing interplay between fashion and interiors. The Ibiza store will be a bathroom, complete with a functioning bathtub and vintage vanity details. 'Ibiza is our second home,' Tordini said. 'This space makes our world tangible for the first time — it's an extension of our aesthetic and the women we speak to.' The boutique also signifies a gradual move into direct-to-consumer retail. The Attico currently sells through its own e-commerce site and a wholesale network of over 270 global stockists. Backed since 2018 by Archive, the investment vehicle founded by Moncler executive Remo Ruffini, The Attico has been quietly building infrastructure, expanding its internal team to 50 people. 'We've chosen to grow slowly and deliberately,' said Tordini. 'We could have sold much more, but we've always favoured a scarcity strategy to protect the brand's long-term value.' (Courtesy) As the brand prepares for its third official runway show this September during Milan Fashion Week, it continues to balance its Italian roots with global aspirations. 'The Attico woman is multifaceted — unapologetic, style-driven, with a global outlook,' said Tordini. 'This store is a milestone. It's the first time people can walk into our world, one room at a time.'

The Attico Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Consistency? Cute in concept. But The Attico's designers see it differently: as a velvet trap. Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini prioritize evolution over expectation, freedom over formula. Change your mind, your mood, your look. Be whoever you want. No guilt—just reinvention, on your own terms. 'We don't believe in a one-note women, and we design for their contradictions,' they said. In an industry where female design leaders remain shockingly few, their perspective rings with authenticity— fashion driven by the female gaze, not by approval. Intrigued by tension, they went sharper and less languid this season—vintage decadence turned angular, body-con appeal gave way to concision, and pragmatism. The vibe was urban and assertive. Broad-shouldered, low-slung tailoring grounded the collection and straight-leg, thigh-high black leather boots were styled under everything: a flapper-turned-minimalist jersey minidress with an asymmetrical ruched hem, a taut stretchy strapless top, a side-slit, net-sequined slender dress. Blazers came oversized, layered over cropped trumpet pants and sexy heels. Furry knitwear in saccharine shades appeared soft, but up close, the texture was felted, raw. Mongolian lamb chubbies and jacquard snake motifs hinted at a primal, instinctive allure. A bustier dress was intricately crocheted from ribbons that unraveled into long, swaying fringes, undulating with every seductive movement. Sensuality remains The Attico's hallmark—no matter how sharp their edge or grounded their realism.
