History
Alexandre Mattiussi previously worked at Christian Dior's "30 Montaigne" men's line, at Givenchy as first assistant for menswear, and at Marc Jacobs.[1][2] His work at these luxury brands was aimed at wealthy clients. While he was crafting cashmere sweaters for Marc Jacobs, he realized he couldn't afford the sweaters he was designing.[3] Mattiussi founded the company to produce clothing for a wider market.[4]
