Lorenzo Osti & MA.STRUM founder Donrad Duncan talk about the British brand's early design inspiration in collaboration with Studio Osti.
If you know your Tinto Terra from your Tella Stella then you'll probably remember hearing about this buzzy new British brand that was working with the Massimo Osti Archive back in 2008. MA.STRUM was a new brand on the scene and everybody seemed to be talking about it. With its design origins firmly rooted in innovation, function, garment engineering & technical fabrics, a collaboration with Studio Osti & the Massimo Osti Archive allowed the brand to access the Aladdin's cave of garment dyeing & fabric research through a partnership with the late Stone Island, ST95, Left Hand & C.P. Company founder. Drawing inspiration from military designs, sportswear & elements of Osti's original innovation, MA.STRUM blended classic 80s sportswear with modern day styling for some of the most technical gear we'd seen for a long time. Check out this archive video below which features Massimo Osti's son, Lorenzo Osti, & MA.STRUM founder Donrad Duncan talking about the brand's early design inspiration in collaboration with Studio Osti. Building on the success of its collaboration with the Massimo Osti Archive, over the last 10 years MA.STRUM has continued to develop its own identity, incorporating cutting edge technology with laser cut fabrics, heat-sealed seams & ergonomic tailoring for one-of-a-kind pieces. Unique hues from garment dyeing and military design influences from snorkel parkas to UV shield visors incorporated into hoods, the outerwear from the British born brand continues to be in a league of its own. With a concept of form meets function, MA.STRUM continue to offer the very latest in technical garment innovation from season to season. A core focus on premium materials and an aim to offer the very best protection from the elements with water resistant & breathable fabrics designed to withstand the weather. Function is key, but so is the styling, and that pretty much summed up MA.STRUM from the very start.
