CO|TE is an Italian brand founded by designers Tomaso Anfossi and Francesco Ferrari. Both are graduates of the prestigious Istituto Marangoni in Milan. Tomaso and Francesco meet whilst jointly involved in several important collaborations, and from this a fast friendship and a foundation for their brand CO|TE was born. CO|TE means shelter and protection, a theme that young designers use in their collections, produced in Italy following the tradition and quality of Made in Italy.
The designs originate from a non-stop exchange of ideas: the ever present reference is image of a curious woman, who loves to experiment without being ordinary. Geometric shapes are the basis of each single piece and that is why the choice of fabrics is of primary importance, to maintain the desired volume, not only in the design phase of the silhouette but also when the clothes are worn.
The final image is created by games of chromatic overlays which express the concept of a new austerity.The collection focuses on the female body, giving it sensuality, without making it vulgar.
