is the brainchild of scholar and artisan Rosh Mahtani, who set up the label in 2014, inspired by Dante’s. Each of Alighieri’s “modern relics” corresponds to one of the famed work’s poems, translating Dante’s vivid tales of the afterlife into elegantly amorphous pendants, bracelets and rings, rendered in gold and silver.
“Louise Trotter has been so incredibly supportive of Alighieri from its genesis,” Mahtani explains to AnOther of the collaboration. “When she asked me to create this iconic symbol in the Alighieri way, I was over the moon. We spoke about René Lacoste’s ethos of playing fair – not being the fastest player, but the smartest. This resonated with me in every way; the notion of taking our time to build amazing relationships, and doing it all with integrity.
Alighieri will also be staging its own independent presentation as part of London Fashion Week on Tuesday, styled by Another Man’s fashion director Ellie Grace Cumming. Here, Mahtani will be presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design – an award previously given to Richard Quinn and Bethany Williams.
