16arlington

16Arlington is a contemporary fashion label known for its unique blend of high-octane glamour and effortless sophistication. Established in 2017 by the creative duo Marco Capaldo and the late Federica "Kikka" Cavenati, the London-based brand quickly gained recognition for its bold aesthetic that marries opulence with a modern edge. The designers, who were also partners in life, brought together their shared love for art, fashion, and culture, skillfully blending influences from diverse realms to craft garments that are as daring as they are elegant.

The brand’s name is a nod to the address of their original studio—16 Arlington Street—where their creative journey began. 16Arlington seamlessly fuses meticulous tailoring with extravagant embellishments, offering pieces that feature a mix of feathers, sequins, and luxurious fabrics. The label has become synonymous with statement-making silhouettes, exuding a sense of playful yet refined confidence.

One of the most distinctive qualities of 16Arlington is its ability to captivate both high fashion circles and celebrities alike; their designs have been worn by influential figures such as Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, and Amal Clooney, making headlines on red carpets and at prestigious events. The brand also garnered attention for its collaborations with prominent fashion retailers, ensuring their reach extends beyond the world of haute couture.

Following Kikka's passing in 2021, Marco Capaldo has continued to lead 16Arlington with the same creative vision and dedication to experimentation that defined the brand from its inception. The label remains a mainstay in the fashion industry, continually pushing boundaries with each collection while staying true to its roots.
