Knitwear designer Michel Bergamo and architect/photographer Cristina Zamagni collaborated to create Boboutic in 2000. Taking everyday experience and injecting it into their knitwear, the designer duo creates innovative pieces in which traditional knit-and-stitch techniques are combined with a constant research for new materials and production methods. Boboutic has been presented during Paris Fashion Week since 2001.

One of the designer duo most important objectives is to find new ways for the knitwear to tell its own story. The yarn, considered as an endless line, is ideally kept intact by rejecting the use of scissors in the making of the garments. Boboutic designers consider knits an ideal medium, since its versatility allows conceiving unique surfaces and unexpected shapes. Boboutic’s approach to knitwear is unpredictable, aiming at creating a product where materials and structures compensate each other.

Michel Bergamo (fashion designer) and Cristina Zamagni (architect and photographer) have been collaborating as Boboutic since 2001. Starting in 2012, the duo was joined by Niccolò Magrelli (fashion designer).

The interest of Boboutic for other artistic disciplines – mostly visual art, performance and filmmaking – is proved by a series of collaboration with diverse artists, invited to interact with the brand philosophy by producing original artworks, related to the cornerstone of each collection. During the years, several artists have responded to Boboutic’s invitation, among them: Fanny&Alexander, Kinkaleri, Marco Mazzoni, Jacopo Miliani, Davide Savorani and Zapruder filmmakersgroup.
