Luca Laurini, born into a family of knitwear producers, graduated from POLIMODA (Florence) and FIT (New York) with early work experience in various design studios in France and Italy. He combines his interests in the fields of architecture, art, design, packaging, graphics and music into a language interpreted in the form of items to wear. Prior to establishing Label Under Construction, Luca was one of the primary designers for the Carpe Diem project .

To study new forms, new conceptions and perceptions of matter to shape knitwear as if it were clay, that’s what characterises the creative career of Luca Laurini, the ‘deus ex machina’ of Label Under Construction. A project aimed at setting aside the trends of conventional fashion to create products whose origins and success are to be grounded on ancient manufacturing traditions.  Their creations take their cue from a passion for and the rigour of architecture whose distinctive feature is detail planning with a desire to study in depth and show every single particular so that it becomes the primary distinctive mark of the whole item.  A collection definitely aimed at formal simplicity, at geometry and its correlated mathematical ratios, which has found its distinctive mark in knitwear. A stylistic development whose pace is never imposed by the frantic rhythm of fashion but by the urge to actualise ideas loaded with small details drawn from the simple world of everyday life.
