Sparkle, glamor, and boudoir-inspired cuts—this is The Attico dress. Here’s what we love about The Attico clothing.

Remember Dua Lipa’s iconic sequin minidress from the 2020 Studio 2054 livestream concert? That was a The Attico dress. 

From queen of pop Dua Lipa to queen of fashion Chiara Ferragni, every It-Girl out there seems to be head over heels over The Attico’s seductive, feather and sequin-embellished dresses.

Haven’t heard of The Attico yet? That’s what we’re here for. Read on to find out what The Attico is, our favorite The Attico dresses, and what we love about The Attico clothing.

What is The Attico?

The Attico is an Italian fashion label, founded in 2016 by designers and Instagram influencers Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio.

Both based in Milan, the two met through mutual friends and immediately hit it off. Despite their contrasting personalities and fashion senses (Tordini loves everything classic and timeless, while Ambrosio favors opulence and eclecticism), the two decided to join forces and create their own fashion brand. 

The Attico’s unique aesthetic stems from this very juxtaposition. The brand’s collections play with contrasts—contrasting colors, textures, cuts.

Over the years, The Attico has developed a cult following on social media, partly thanks to the founders’ popularity. The Attico clothing is known and coveted worldwide for its sensual, over-the-top aesthetic. Initially a line of boudoir-chic eveningwear, The Attico has expanded to include everything from footwear to swimwear. 

Fun fact: “Attico” means “penthouse” in Italian, hence the label’s motto—“Join us upstairs”.

Whoever you are, wherever you are… you need at least one The Attico dress in your closet. The Attico dresses are bold statement pieces that will make you feel like you can conquer the world—expect sensual, boudoir-inspired cuts, glamorous details, rich fabrics, and a retro allure.

“We wanted to bring robes out to the street,” Ambrosio told Vogue.
