Hi I'm Alfonso, @almana.studio on social media, an Italian fashion designer and textile artist.

I use fabric, thread, and intuition to show people that fashion is not consumption; it’s expression, rebellion, and identity. My designs, clothing and upcycled creations have been featured on Milan Fashion Week, Vogue & Elle.

I’ve built an Instagram community of 140K+ people, with whom I share stories about creating from emotion, upcycling, sewing with intention, and reconnecting with the body through garments that actually have meaning.

Unleash yourself through sewing, stitching and design

My mission is to bring people back to creativity — to show that clothing is a language, and that everyone deserves to speak it with their own voice. I believe creativity should be accessible, imperfect, and deeply personal.

And that’s exactly why I created

Sometimes it feels really hard...

"I'm intimidated by my sewing machine, it's too complex"

Your machine should be your best friend but haven't understood it properly from 0.
