Fortela

Founded in 2015 by fashion multi-hyphenate Alessandro Squarzi, Italy's Fortela specialises in timeless, archive-inspired styles brought to life by some of the world’s most skilled makers.

Fortela’s stylistic scope is broad, with collections as likely to channel the rugged spirit of the Wild West as they are to capture the quiet elegance of mid-century tailoring. Whether it’s a cashmere crewneck, a chunky shawl-collar cardigan, or a pair of chinos, every Fortela piece reflects Squarzi’s obsessive eye for historical, cultural, and artistic detail. Think golden-era Ralph Lauren’s knack for worldbuilding, elevated by the combined mastery of Italian and Japanese production.

Fortela presents a wardrobe built on timeless icons, meant to be lived in, enjoyed, and even passed down.
