Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, overlooking Lake Como, is one of those places shrouded in an aura of legend. The immense structure of this luxurious hotel is a tangible memory of aristocratic elegance, capable of resisting time without losing its intensity. As a historic 16th-century residence, it is considered a masterpiece of Italian gardening and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a recognition that confirms its universal value.
The design for the uniforms is born with the intention of translating the Villa d’Este’s strong identity into garments that express prestige and classicism. The color palette is based on a timeless and refined navy blue, recalling both Italian tailoring tradition and the deep reflections of the lake. Gold buttons, personalized with the hotel’s logo, enhance the double-breasted jacket, lending it authority and shine, while accessories with subtle micro-patterns add a touch of sophistication. It’s a color palette that speaks of institutionality and aristocratic charm, perfectly in harmony with the heritage of Villa d’Este.
The uniforms, such as the manager uniform and the therapist uniform, are designed with clean lines and balanced proportions. The double-breasted jacket is the absolute protagonist of the collection, reinterpreted in a contemporary way thanks to lightweight and comfortable fabrics. Every detail—from the stitching to the color contrasts—has been carefully considered to give the wearer an impeccable, functional image, but above all, consistent with the prestige of one of Italy’s most iconic residences.
The timeless elegance, that is as much a part of Lake Como as it is of the World Heritage Site, was the essence behind this project. With these uniforms, Maurel aimed to capture the soul of Villa d’Este and transform it into a sartorial tale that preserves its historical charm while making it wearable, like an ancient fragment that lives on in the present.
