DAMA studio aims to create exciting effortless clothes that are long-lasting and go beyond seasons. Each collection is handmade with one specific material, building on the previous collection to develop a world of pieces that can be appreciated for years, swapped between friends, and reinterpreted to express individuality.
The designer is influenced by her origin and culture. She wants traditional techniques and forgotten artistry to be remembered, readopting and reinterpreting in a modern way. The garments are a Homage to the Italian women; an exploration of new design aesthetics through cultural values. The collections combine craftsmanship and details with voluminous silhouettes and sculptural shapes - a celebration of contemporary feminity.
Dagmar Gruber decided to launch her own brand in 2020 in her hometown Bolzano, Italy. After having studied and worked for international labels in New York, London and China. Growing and experiencing diversity, enables her to bring knowledge and skills to DAMA studios.
