Moncler CEO, Remo Ruffini, has further solidified his presence in the high-end fashion industry by acquiring a significant 49% stake in the up-and-coming Italian womenswear label Attico. This bold move was announced through a press release on October 8, showcasing Archive’s strategic approach to investing in ready-to-wear fashion, as well as venturing into the food and hotel sectors.
Attico, a fashion house founded in February 2016 by Italian designers Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, has quickly made a name for itself with its unique blend of vintage-inspired designs and vibrant color palettes. The brand’s popularity has surged thanks to partnerships with renowned online retailers like Mytheresa, Net-a-porter, Matchesfashion, and Farfetch.
Archive, under the direction of Stefano Marcovaldi and backed by Ruffini Partecipazioni Holding, has been making significant strides in the fashion industry with this latest investment in Attico. This strategic move underscores Ruffini’s dedication to broadening his investment portfolio and supporting emerging talent within the fashion realm. With the support and expertise of Moncler’s CEO, Attico is primed for continued growth and success within the fiercely competitive womenswear market.
