Premiering at Pitti Uomo 93, M1992, the project by the eclectic Italian designer and DJ Dorian Stefano Tarantini. M1992 is the new name of the brand we have known as Malibu 1992, that had captured the international press’s attention over the past few seasons.
With a Special Project sponsored by the Fondazione Pitti Discovery, through cooperation with Pitti Immagine and the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana that has supported him from his first runway show, Dorian presented his brand’s new look – the child of cross-pollinations of multimedia art, music and fashion – characterized by broader stylistic experimentation, on the catwalk at the Dogana, Via Valfonda.
Dorian is a Milanese DJ, designer and influencer who made a name for himself as creative director of the historic Club Plastic where he worked for over a decade. A man with an eclectic career, over the years he has exponentially expanded his interests to the point of bringing them together in the artistic, aesthetic and musical “luxury” project of his brand Malibu 1992.
The elegant and decadent style has made it possible for him to successfully continue with projects linked to the visual arts, clubbing, and fashion, riding the waves of the world’s avant-gardes, and creating new ones, pushing his inspiration to its limits and multiplying his interests and travels.
Malibu 1992 became a cult brand in 2014, invading a market niche born from the virtual realities of Instagram and reaching celebrities like Rihanna, Jessie J, Iggy Azalea, Brooke Candy Rita Ora, and Nicki Minaj. Then he launched two capsule collections of men’s and women’s clothing that he presented during Milan’s fashion week. In January 2017, the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana invited Dorian to show in Milan and put him on the official calendar.
The 2017 fall-winter collection met with an important international reaction. In June 2017, Malibu 1992 showed in Milan for the second time with the 2018 spring-summer collection that featured the first capsule for women along with the men’s line, increasing the brand’s visibility and attracting the attention of both Vogue USA andrapper Kendrick Lamar with the cover of Billboard magazine.
