DUBAI, Apr 17, 2015/ — From Fashion Forward Dubai press notes:
TALLER MARMO is a Dubai-based women’s wear brand founded in 2013. The company was named after “Taller”, the Spanish word for manual work – representing the laboratory, the artisan, and the authenticity of the handcraft – and “Marmo”, the Italian word for marble – representing fine material and Italian excellence that metaphorically refers to luxury, exoticism, decadence, and tradition.
TALLER MARMO, as a concept, was born in Italy to be based in Dubai: a bridge between European elegance and Middle Eastern charm. Inspiration is drawn from the conversation between the nostalgia of the past and the contemporary culture. The Italian tailoring with a minimal approach merges with Arabic traditions. The brand’s collections are entirely and exclusively handcrafted in Italy, with rich textiles finely enhanced by a thorough attention to detail.

Yago Goicoechea was born and raised in northern Argentina where he developed his earliest interest in fashion thanks to his family business: a group of women’s wear boutiques. In April 2010, he moved to Milan to study Fashion Design at the Istituto Marangoni.
During the second year of their three-year course, Yago and Riccardo imagined a brand that brought together their creative and artistic direction. In June 2012, they left the school and started working on the first collection of TALLER MARMO.
