we are a womenswear studio founded on a lifelong connection to tailoring
We are Cristopher and Annalisa, partners in life and in design, both raised in Italy, where craftsmanship is not simply learned, but lived. Growing up surrounded by family-run ateliers, fabrics, and fittings, we developed an early understanding of how clothing should be made: with care, precision, and purpose.
After studying Fashion Design at Istituto di Moda Burgo in Milan, we brought this heritage to the UK, establishing our atelier in St Albans in 2013.
A Heritage of Craftsmanship
Our work is rooted in Italian design culture, where elegance is effortless, and tailoring is built around the individual.
Over more than a decade of experience in bespoke womenswear, we have refined our approach to fit, construction, and personal design. Every garment begins with understanding the person wearing it, how it should move, feel, and exist within their life.
This philosophy continues to shape everything we create.
designed around you
bespoke pieces
Our bespoke service offers a fully personalised experience, creating garments that are entirely your own.
From bridal pieces and mother-of-the-bride outfits to tailored suits and occasionwear, each design is developed through a collaborative process, from initial consultation to final fitting, within our atelier.
Every detail, from fabric selection to finishing touches, is considered with care, ensuring a piece that feels both personal and enduring.
Informed by Experience
ready-to-wear
In recent years, we have translated our bespoke expertise into a curated, ready-to-wear collection.
Each piece is inspired by designs we have created over time for our clients: refined, simplified, and reimagined into garments that can be worn with ease in everyday life and special moments alike.
Produced in small batches and crafted using carefully selected Italian fabrics, our ready-to-wear collection reflects the same attention to detail as our bespoke work.
designed to last
At Ferrari + Monti, we believe clothing should go beyond a single moment.
Whether bespoke or ready-to-wear, every piece is created with longevity in mind, designed to remain relevant, wearable, and personal over time. It is a considered approach to womenswear, where quality, craftsmanship, and individuality come first.
where it all began
2013
Ferrari Monti began in 2013, when we opened the doors to our atelier in St Albans after graduating from fashion school at Istituto di Moda Burgo in Milan.
Bringing our Italian design heritage with us to the UK, we set out to create womenswear in a more personal way, combining the craftsmanship and attention to detail we had grown up around with our own approach to contemporary design.
What began with bespoke tailoring and garments created individually for our clients became the foundation of everything Ferrari Monti is today.
OUR ATELIER, TODAY
2026
Today, our St Albans atelier remains at the heart of everything we do.
It is where ideas are shaped, garments are created, and clients are welcomed into a space that reflects our way of working: personal, attentive, and grounded in craftsmanship.
If you would like to begin your bespoke journey or discover more about our collections, we would be delighted to welcome you.
