DISCOVERING THE SLOW MOVING UNIVERSE OF MARC POINT

Marc Point is a Venetian artisanal clothing brand — founded in 2006 — that reinterprets “peasant-wear” and historic tailoring into modern, wearable garments. The label blends slow-fashion principles, handcrafted tailoring and a distinct retro-avantgarde aesthetic rooted in Italian sartorial heritage.

Based in Venice, Marc Point works with textured, treated fabrics — linen blends, washed cottons, wools and artisanal weaves — focusing on quality, silhouette and muted, dusty colour palettes. The garments feel timeless yet contemporary, merging vintage references with a minimal avant-garde sensibility.

Whether coats, waistcoats, trousers, blazers or accessories, Marc Point offers a wardrobe that is subtle, thoughtful and deeply rooted in material and tailoring tradition — ideal for those who favour understated elegance over flash.

ORIGINS & PHILOSOPHY: HERITAGE MEETS CONTEMPORARY CRAFT

Marc Point originated from the designer’s background in visual arts, later shaped through work in accessories and apparel for various fashion houses. In 2006, he launched Marc Point Venezia, expressing a vision of clothing as storytelling — where fabric becomes dialogue, cut becomes rhythm, and colour becomes tone.

The brand draws from late 19th to early 20th-century uniforms, workwear and rural “peasant-wear,” reimagined through a retro-avantgarde lens. Classic waisted trousers, waistcoats, work jackets and heavy coats are reworked with softened shoulders, elongated hems and textured fabrics — creating a bridge between past and present.

This approach brings together nostalgia, romance and modern wearability, inviting the wearer to experience clothing as both heritage and a living narrative.

DESIGN LANGUAGE: TEXTURE, TAILORING & QUIET CHARACTER

Marc Point’s aesthetic is shaped by several key pillars:

• textured, treated fabrics — linen blends, dry-handle cottons, wool twills and custom weaves that offer depth and structure
• muted, dusty palettes — charcoal, stone, smoke, muted blues and earthy neutrals, reinforcing a timeless, slow-fashion identity
• retro-avantgarde silhouettes — wide-leg trousers, drop-crotch designs, long coats, oversized jackets, structured waistcoats
• thoughtful tailoring logic — sleeves cut for comfort under outerwear, shaped seams, panel lines designed for verticality and drape

The result is clothing that feels familiar yet unexpected — garments that age with character, adapt to the wearer and stand out through craftsmanship rather than branding.

SLOW FASHION ETHICS: CRAFTSMANSHIP, MATERIAL INTEGRITY & LONGEVITY

Marc Point is rooted firmly in slow-fashion values. Each collection emphasizes:

• careful fabric sourcing — custom-woven materials, washed and treated textiles
• artisanal tailoring — construction led by respect for the fabric’s natural behaviour
• timeless design — wardrobes built to outlast seasonal trends and fashion cycles

For those who value subtlety, longevity and material authenticity, Marc Point represents an alternative to fast-fashion noise — garments built to evolve and tell a story through wear.

WHAT MARC POINT OFFERS: A COMPLETE TEXTURAL ITALIAN WARDROBE

The brand’s offering spans outerwear, trousers, shirts, layered tops, waistcoats, suits, knitwear, hats and accessories — often designed with unisex or gender-neutral sensibility.

Marc Point garments mix effortlessly, creating both classical and avant-garde ensembles. Soft tailoring meets textured fabrics, and vintage-inspired forms meet modern proportions — offering a quiet, refined presence that balances expressive design with understated elegance.
