Taller Marmo, the Dubai-based Italian born designer label, is all about the finer things in life. And by that we mean gorgeous silks, flowing kaftans and fluid silhouettes. Merging Middle Eastern traditions with European tailoring, Taller Marmo clothing is for women who are elegant, modern, and most importantly, fabulous. When wearing this Italian brand, you exude elegance and opulence, whether you walk barefoot through the sand or spend the night on the dance floor; either way, it’s a win.
A Ripple Of Elegance
There is a certain level of simplicity to Taller Marmo’s creations. The clever use of single design elements such as asymmetrical cuts and sharp edges bring movement and fluidity to an otherwise static piece of fabric. This ensures your evening gown always catches an eye.
Showcasing and respecting quality material is Taller Marmo’s forte. Known for flowing satin-moire, crepe, viscose and silk kaftans, the beautifully decadent colours of purple, orange, white and blue are brought to life with easy-to-wear pieces.
The dresses effortlessly highlight the body while the smooth fabrics gently soothes it. A sophisticated piece which is luxuriously comfortable, what’s not to love?
While the gowns, dresses and capes make a minimalist statement by themselves, you can dress it up with chunky jewellery and bold makeup to embody your modern disco dive.
The flowing pieces are detailed with ostrich feathers, embroidery and fringed hemlines. All of which allude to the label’s middle-eastern flare, transporting you into a world of sensuality and poise.
Italian Artisanship
The story of how the designer label came to be is one of inspiration, collaboration and artisanship. Taller meaning Laboratory in Spanish and Marmo meaning marble in Italian, acts as the foundation of the brand. Indulging in material experimentation and creative freedom elevates their collections, making them an aspiration product many wish to own.
Drawing upon the eras of the 60’s and 70’s, the vibe is old Hollywood glamour meets the charm of Sophia Loren. The brand was founded by two friends, Riccardo Audisio and Yago Goicoechea who met while studying at Istituto Marangoni in Italy. In 2012, the pair decided to drop out together and begin their creative designer journey. The aim? To design collections bursting with elegance, valour and flare.
