Ilaria Nistri Roque
Contemporary Italian label, Ilaria Nistri, first launched in 2006 and has become adored for its love for precious fabrics, unconventional shapes, handcrafted excellence and balance of tradition with technological innovation. The brand consists of both a mainline and a secondary line called Roque.Launched with her husband Simone Rafanelli, Nistri has taken her brand to avant-garde heights, presenting a contemporary feminine look with reinterpretations of bold masculine shapes. Graduating in law before joining the family’s textile company, she adds poetic intelligence and nomadic passion to her clothes and accessories. Creating a light, soft, fluid aesthetic with a beautifully draped silhouette, Ilaria Nistri perfectly suits the confident, artistic woman with edgy attitude. Remarkable proportional play and voluminous constructions seduce with creative intrigue, where a signature dark and striking palette provides moody sensuality. “Clothes always communicate emotions to me,” Nistri says. “They enable me to express myself without words and say something about me in a personal language.”
