Since its founding in 2015, Fortela has been Alessandro Squarzi’s expression of style. Every piece tells a story as a tribute to the immortal power of vintage through the combination of American military and Western wear, Japanese denim culture, and Italian heritage fashion. Squarzi is regarded as a menswear icon, notable for his professional influence on niche brands and his famous vintage archive with collectibles that range from garments, vehicles, furnishings, and timepieces. His refined taste-making and quality imperative are embodied in Fortela, using only the highest quality Italian and Japanese workshops and materials. The collection evokes the essence of the past through modern fashion in dialogues between the Western exploration of untouched landscapes and deep Navajo spiritual wisdom, the expertise of Japanese denim manufacturing inspired by antique indigo dyeing and the American culture of the 1950s, and the elegance, style, and innovation that made Dolce Vita fashion legendary and still relevant today. Vintage is not just a memory of distant eras but a living source of inspiration for the present.
