Ludovica Diligu founded LABO.ART in Milan in 2006, drawing from her architectural background to create clothing that emphasizes clean lines, volumes, and geometry. The collections focus on combining top-quality natural materials with minimalist design, inspired by key moments in fashion, theatre, and cinema, resulting in a refined balance of taste and class, all while upholding the brand’s commitment to “Made in Italy” craftsmanship.
Each season focuses on a curated capsule of colours, with this season’s standout shades including Ketchup red, Atlantic blue, Bonsai green, and Bark brown. These hues are offered across a diverse range of textures, fabrics, and styles.
Building seasons around colour and shape creates cohesive schemes that fit seamlessly into LABO.ART's extensive range and your wardrobe. This fall, red takes the spotlight with the standout shade 'Ketchup,' evoking warmth, comfort, and sophistication. It's a colour that ensures you'll make a lasting impression.
Featured are the Pina Jacket and Paride Pants in their iconic dense cord, perfect for the changing temperatures.
Crafted from light cotton poplin, this loose-collared shirt combines relaxed comfort with refined style, making it perfect for year-round wear. The point collar and regular fit create a balanced silhouette, while details like buttoned cuffs, a front button closure, and a rounded hem add subtle sophistication. In the 'Bonsai' shade—a taupe-green hue reminiscent of grassy landscapes—this shirt evokes a natural, grounded feel. Its understated elegance and earthy tone make it versatile enough to be dressed up or down with ease.
The Betta Shirt Dress offers a blend of structure and softness with its corduroy fabric and relaxed silhouette. Featuring a button-down front and two large front pockets, it's both practical and stylish, making it a standout piece for cooler weather. The deep Bark colour—a rich forest-meets-chocolate brown—adds warmth and depth, evoking the earthy tones of autumn.
The Benoit overshirt combines utility and style, offering a structured yet laid-back look in soft cotton corduroy. Its buttoned front, classic collar, and attached pockets give it a functional edge, while the raglan sleeves ensure a relaxed fit and comfortable wear. In the rich "Atlantic" hue—a deep royal blue—it adds a bold pop of colour that still feels grounded and versatile. Whether layered as a jacket or worn on its own, this piece is perfect for transitioning through seasons with effortless style.
The Pina jacket and Diana pants are an effortless combination in LABO.ART's signature dense corduroy, designed for ease and comfort as the weather shifts. Both pieces, in the rich Canguro shade—a deep camel-taupe—exude a natural, relaxed vibe. The unstructured jacket drapes loosely for a laid-back feel, while the pants offer a slouchy fit that moves with you.
Paired with this is their iconic Carmen striped long sleeve tee made out of a beautiful cotton jersey.
