OUR STORY AND MISSION
By m(art)a studios
Is an emerging fashion brand founded and based in Milan, Italy, born from Marta Sbaragli´s need to carve out a space for her artistic expression.
The essence of the brand reflects the designer´s own identity and speaks to a broader audience united by a love for art and self-expression. With an emphasis on volumes and innovative textures, by m(art)a studios aims to reinterpret timeless silhouettes and enhance the female figure.
The creative process behind our designs begins with the selection of high-quality materials, intertwining with the exploration of shapes, spaces and the human body, all driven by Marta´s desire to experiment and share her point of view.
In a world where fast paced production thrives, our mission is to give back value to creativity and Italian craftsmanship alongside empowering our clients through unique designs.
In line with this vision, by m(art)a studios also places great importance on sustainability, favoring long-lasting natural fibers and deadstock materials when fabric scouting. In order to avoid overproduction and waste we work on commission: each piece is handcrafted in Italy by our designer, which is why it may take up to 6-8 weeks to produce your chosen design.
THE DESIGNER
Marta Sbaragli was born in Arezzo, Italy, and spent her formative years between Milan and Syracuse. Growing up in a family with two art enthusiast parents, Marta developed a deep interest in art since her childhood. Her passion for fashion emerged at the age of 8, marking her first approach with a sewing machine and realization of her desire to explore the world of design.
At 18, drawn by the creative energy and artistic environment of Berlin, Marta left Italy to pursue formal training in fashion design. There, she found inspiration in the city's vibrant culture and dynamic fashion scene.
September 2023 marks the foundation of by m(art)a studios and her career debut as a fashion designer and art director for the brand, where she finds space to combine her love for art and fashion with her need of experimentation.
At this time being the brand is 100% curated and managed by her.
