WOOL WEAVE
The Soul of the Piece
The Attico was founded in Milan in 2016 by Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini on a simple and radical idea: that evening wear can be as comfortable as weekend attire, provided it's given the right dose of character. The Hurley dress is living proof of this. Made from soft, flowing ivory wool, the wrap dress drapes around the body in an asymmetrical design held by an oversized silver O-ring buckle—not a mere detail, but the central element of the piece. The oversized removable shoulder pads complete the silhouette: structured, strong, deliberately powerful. Style: 237WCA239 · Col. 507 Ivory.
Its Place in Your Wardrobe
This dress works on two registers simultaneously. As power dressing—shoulder pads in place, pointed leather ankle boots, and a rigid clutch—it's the autumn dinner you won't forget. As soft romantic—shoulder pads removed, nude sandals, delicate jewelry—it's a terrace lunch or a twilight reception. Ivory naturally pairs with nude, cognac, gold, and camel. The silver O-ring buckle opens the door to metallic accessories for a cohesive total look.
Style Notes
-
Play with the shoulder pads: When installed, the silhouette becomes architectural and fashion-forward. When removed, it becomes sensual and flowing. It's literally two outfits in one dress—don't limit yourself to just one version.
-
The buckle dictates the accessory: The oversized silver O-ring is already a piece of jewelry integrated into the dress. Don't overdo it—a simple signet ring, large silver hoop earrings, or nothing at all. The strongest element is already there.
-
Ivory requires specific footwear: Nude, cream, natural beige, or warm cognac lengthen the leg and harmonize effortlessly. Avoid: overly saturated colors or pure black that cut the silhouette and break the softness of the palette.
The Craftsmanship
ITALIAN SUPERFINE WOOL: A MATTER OF SHAPE
The Attico was built in Milan by imposing a precise vision: glamour without pretense, worn by women who don't wait for a special occasion to dress up. Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, both influential figures in the Milanese fashion world even before launching the brand, brought their demanding consumer perspective to each piece. The Hurley dress is made from 100% virgin wool in Italy—meaning the drape of the wrap dress comes not from a rigid structure, but from the natural weight and fluidity of the fine wool itself. This is precisely what makes this garment so beautiful in motion. The silver O-ring buckle is The Attico's signature element: thick, oversized hardware, totally unexpected on a wool knit—and that's precisely why it works.
