16Arlington — the cult London label questioning the idea of glamour with an infectious eccentricity.
Hailed by British Vogue as the cool girl’s go-to for ‘conversation-starting’ evening-wear, 16Arlington proposes a maximalist fashion language that expertly, deliciously negotiates the boundaries of trash - as well as a deeply accomplished skill for pattern cutting and hand-embroidery. Exploring subversion, and the harmony in disharmonies, the collections are executed with a distinct handwriting: tightly twisted leather bodices, inches of marabou trim, sculptured fil-coupé organza, razor-sharp tailoring and signature sequins. Capaldo and Cavenati’s encyclopedia of opulence draws from their shared love of fearless women and provocation.
