DEPARTMENT FIVE

Founded in 2007 by Mario Cangini and Nicola Silvagni, Department Five marries a deep fashion knowledge with expert tailoring from Catria Confezioni. Mario's journey began in 1977 with the opening of Space Number Five in Milano Marittima, which swiftly became a fashion hub, featuring renowned brands like Azzedine Alaïa and Comme Des Garçons. Nicola, drawn to Mario's unique style, joined the Space team. The two shared an unconventional approach to curating collections. In 2007, they introduced Department Five, focusing on menswear, blending workwear, military function, rock aesthetics, and cutting-edge trends.
