Year after year, Laura Urbinati develops and spreads her own individual style both in Italy and abroad, creating sophisticated but simple collection that play around with timeless prints and colors, fine fabrics and carefully considered details. The influence of the art world is reflected in the color experimentation and her passion for finding innovative solutions.The fit is guaranteed by a cutting technique that allows the pieces to adapt to any figure.Laura’s creative spirit is also revealed in the originality of her presentation, in which the worlds of art and design, dance and performances merge with fashion, each time generating different and surprising effects thanks to the collaboration of artists and friends, like Nicola Pellegrini and Daniel Minahan, with whom she finds every time different way to communicate her sense of style.
