What to know about Massimo Alba

Massimo Alba is a Milan label founded in 2006 by designer Massimo Alba, who began designing in the mid-1980s and previously led collections at Italian houses including Malo, Ballantyne and Agnona. It builds unstructured tailoring from soft, garment-dyed fabrics using natural chemical-free pigments; the Sloop suit in corduroy, cotton or cashmere is its signature and was worn by Daniel Craig in No Time to Die. Men's and women's collections cover cashmere knitwear, washed shirting, wide trousers and light outerwear. The company remains independent, selling via its own stores, e-commerce and retailers such as Mr Porter.
