“After years of work, great satisfactions and the achievement of many goals…we found in Underscore District a solid partner who shares our strategy and values and who can support us in an important growth phase,” Magliano said.
The financial and commercial prowess brought about by Underscore District is expected to support the brand’s growth and cement its global awareness. The company is helping Magliano set up a new design atelier in Bologna, Italy, the designer’s hometown, and a new showroom in Milan’s Tortona district, neighboring other fashion brands including Moncler, Herno and Fendi.
“Magliano perfectly matches the characteristics of our ideal partners. The brand is an undisputed role model for young Made in Italy talents, having created a distinctive and recognizable style,” said Edoardo Di Luzio, chief executive officer and founder of Underscore District.Courtesy of Magliano and Underscore District
In 2015, the designer decided to go solo and launched the I Was Naked independent women’s brand, which has since been discontinued. The following year, Arcari, who is also the president of Arcari e Co., offered the designer the chance to produce his own line under license and the Magliano brand was born.
