The studio was founded by designer Arianna Gallina after experimenting with transforming vintage garments during a sustainability project.

​

Arianna Gallina is an independent slow fashion studio based in the UK and crafted in Italy, specialised in upcycled garments and small-batch production.

 

Each piece is created from reclaimed denim, vintage garments and deadstock fabrics sourced locally and produced in Italy.

 

The studio works outside seasonal cycles, focusing on limited quantities and material-led design to reduce waste and extend garment lifespan.

 

Rather than producing collections, materials define what can exist.

​

PROCESS

​

Production begins with sourcing.

 

Garments, denim and deadstock fabrics are collected individually and evaluated for structure, weight and durability before design starts.
No material is ordered to fit an idea — the idea adapts to what already exists.

 

Pattern cutting is developed to minimise waste, and every stage of construction is carried out in small quantities in Italy.

 

Because materials are limited, repetition is never exact.
Each garment belongs to a series, not a mass production run.

 

MATERIALS

​

We work primarily with post-consumer garments and unused industrial fabrics.

 

These materials already hold energy, labour and history.
Reusing them extends their life cycle and reduces the need for new production.

 

PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY

​

The studio operates outside seasonal calendars.

​

Pieces are released only when ready and only in the quantities allowed by the materials available.
This approach avoids overproduction and encourages long-term use.

 

Arianna Gallina focuses on making fewer garments with greater permanence — designed to be worn repeatedly and evolve over time.

 

POSITION
