Founder and designer, Marea
Giuseppe Della Monica
Italian
Italian designer from the Amalfi Coast who founded Marea in 2023. The label combines tailoring with low-impact production: nearly plastic-free packaging, recycled materials, water-based printing, and one-off pieces made from vintage and deadstock fabrics. Marea has shown at Milan Fashion Week, including at the Fashion Hub, and presented its Autumn/Winter 2026-27 collection 'Poltronissima' there.
