With a storied career in menswear, Maurizio Donadi has worked with companies like Levi’s to Polo before starting an atelier and finally Transnomadica, where he looks back to see forward - infusing the best elements and design principles of second hand and vintage clothing into products and projects the world has never seen before. Starting from a young age Maurizio's passion for second hand clothing has always been apparent in his work. He explains “because I come from a very humble upbringing, the durability of clothes and the appreciation for what sentimentally an item can bring to your world is important to me. So every bruise, every stain, every hole, every cigarette burn reminds you of something.” This romantic perspective on aging and wear clearly translates to his Re-Creation collection which uses "a combination between techniques and interventions and repairs and reinforcement patches." He elaborates, "We have a technique that we call camo stitching. Basically, instead of covering a stain when we go around, we honor the stain...without chang[ing] the aesthetic." In reflecting on the impact of the collection, Maurizio hopes “what we do...changes perspective on things. I’m not here to impose, we are here to share, and I am honored that I can share my point of view. I mean, eight years ago nobody was paying attention to us. And now we have this honor, it's small, nobody's getting rich here, but it's about the statement.” The Nike Re-Creation collection is releasing Sunday 1/15, exclusively at our Los Angeles location.
