Massimo Osti Studio

Massimo Osti Studio is the contemporary reinterpretation of the broader Massimo Osti design legacy — Osti was the legendary Italian designer who founded C.P. Company (1971), Stone Island (1982), Boneville (1986), and Left Hand (2003), among other defining Italian-anchored technical-outerwear brands. The Massimo Osti Studio brand was established in 2007 by Osti's son Lorenzo Osti as a deliberately-archival-research-anchored contemporary brand, with the studio serving as the broader contemporary-luxury-technical-outerwear operation that draws on the original Massimo Osti archive. The Massimo Osti Studio vocabulary settled around several recurring elements: deliberately-technical-fabric outerwear with hardware-anchored construction (deliberately-engineered following the original Massimo Osti garment-dyeing-and-bonded-membrane construction traditions), the brand's iconic Massimo Osti Studio archive-revival programme (specifically focused on reproducing or reinterpreting the original Massimo Osti-designed C.P. Company and Stone Island archive pieces), various technical-fabric ready-to-wear pieces, and a colour palette anchored to military-olive, washed-navy, oxblood, washed-charcoal, ecru, plus the brand's recurring use of saturated red, butter-yellow, and the iconic Italian-technical-outerwear-aesthetic accent combinations. The brand is independent and held by the Osti family through Lorenzo Osti. Massimo Osti Studio distributes through SSENSE, MR PORTER, MATCHES, Dover Street Market, Antonioli, END., the broader European luxury-streetwear specialty retailer network, Beams Plus, and a curated set of contemporary-luxury-technical-outerwear specialty retailers globally. The brand has been one of the most rigorously committed post-2007 Italian-anchored 'Massimo-Osti-archive-research' contemporary brands.
