Marabou feathers, fringe and asymmetric cuts — Taller Marmo tells its own modern fairy tale of extravagance and glamour, embraced by Paris Hilton, Kylie Minogue and many more.

In a world where minimalism dominates not only fashion, but also art and architecture, Taller Marmo remains committed to a touch of drama, expressed through a bold, dynamic and luxurious aesthetic that envelops the body in an irresistible aura. More than a womenswear brand, it introduces a distinct fashion language, one that underscores feminine energy in a soft yet powerful way.

Taller Marmo. The name itself is a fusion of its founders’ origins: “Taller”, Spanish for craftsmanship, and “Marmo”, the Italian word for marble, a noble material long associated with excellence and luxury. Behind the brand, founded in 2013, are Riccardo Audisio and Yago Goicoechea, who first met while studying at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan. Yet the Italian fashion capital was not where the story of Taller Marmo truly began.

Instead, it leads us further, to the Middle East. In 2012, the duo left their studies behind and moved to Dubai, where they discovered the inspiration that would go on to define the brand’s DNA. It is here that the foundation of Taller Marmo was formed, a vision that still resonates in almost every piece today. At its core was a simple yet striking idea: the kaftan, reimagined through flowing fabrics and infused with the glamour and hedonism of the 1960s and 70s, echoing the spirit of old Hollywood.

With some of their very first designs in hand, they approached one of Dubai’s most renowned boutiques for abayas and kaftans, asking if their creations might find a place there. The answer was yes. Having successfully sold their initial pieces, what began as a bold instinct soon evolved into something greater, the foundation of Taller Marmo as we know it today.

After winning the Woolmark Prize at the regional final for India, Pakistan and the Middle East, they chose to move their base to the city that first brought them together, Milan.

The designs are unapologetically expressive, radiant, fluid and steeped in a sense of pure luxury, with nostalgic echoes of Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren as enduring icons of 60s and 70s glamour. Marabou feather trims along hems and sleeves define the pieces as a signature detail, while fringe, at times inspired by the traditional Manila shawl, introduces movement and texture. The silhouettes play with asymmetry, often balanced by high necklines and wide, flowing sleeves, alongside recurring one-shoulder variations. At the heart of it all lies a clear philosophy: a modular design approach rather than fleeting trend pieces.

Years ago, when asked which woman they would most love to dress, the duo named Rossy de Palma. A vision that has since become reality. The Spanish icon has been seen in Taller Marmo’s dramatic creations, from fluid black kaftans to floor-length designs in sheer tulle fully covered in shimmering sequins. And she is far from alone. Taraji P. Henson appeared on Jimmy Kimmel in a signature one-shoulder gown, Kylie Minogue embraced a sleek, modern interpretation of the kaftan, and Paris Hilton stepped out in a dramatic feather- and crystal-embellished stole.

What began with a few pieces placed in a boutique for abayas and kaftans, without certainty of what might follow, has evolved into an international presence. Today, the brand is available on some of the world’s leading luxury platforms, including Net-a-Porter, Farfetch, Browns and Matchesfashion, inviting every woman to step into a world where glamour feels both effortless and entirely her own.
