Roberto Rimondi is known for being partnered with Tommaso Aquilano. The duo met while working for Max Mara's design department. Aquilano learned the couturier approach to design while Rimondi learned the traditional approach to design. These two Italian duos came together and created their first collection called 6267 which launched in 2004. That following year they won the young designers "Who is on Next" competition that was sponsored by Atla Roma and Vogue Italia. This lead to them presenting their collection at Milan Fashion Week. By 2005, they were appointed as creative director of Malo which they got to debut their show at New York Fashion Week. By 2008, the duo left Malo and joined Gianfranco Ferre as creative directors for the women's line. Due to receiving mix reviews, Aquilano and Rimondi decided to promote their own label.
Going back to what they know and love best. Quality, style and playful approach to fashion, Aquilano Rimondi was born. 6267 renamed as Aquilano Rimondi as their way of starting new. Their line was presented during Milan Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion Week. Sales began to fall at Gianfanco Ferre which made them let Aquilano and Rimondi go. Focusing on Aquilano Rimondi, this brand is centered around a modern and sophisticated woman. Showing traditional tailoring with contemporary concepts. Since started, the brand has gained international recognition for it's unique style and over featured in exclusive stores around the world. Inspired by Art, the brand continues to grow. Maybe start their own store in the future instead of finding their pieces in these exclusive stores that are nation wide. Who knows but we all still have our eye on these two as they continue to make heads turn.
