MA.STRUM: An introduction

The MA.STRUM collection combines the archives of Massimo Osti with pioneering high tech fabrics and designs that focus on achieving optimum benefit to the wearer.

The brand principle is to provide the user with products that have the inherent qualities of timelessness, function and appeal, as well as to create silhouettes and styling that engage the senses of a wide audience.  Wearable technology is integrated in various styles through fabrics and embedded accessories. 

Taking a military inspiration one step further, MA.STRUM builds on a naval influence.  The colour palette consists of navy blues, greys, whites, browns, and military greens, with highlights of yellow and orange.

Donrad Duncan is the designer and creator of MA.STRUM, which features styles bearing the Massimo Osti Archive label.  Massimo Osti was the designer and creator of CP Company, Stone Island, Left Hand, Bonneville, Massimo Osti Production and most recently Double Use Knitwear.  Osti Studio was founded in 1970 and since his passing in 2005, the studio has been managed by his son Lorenzo and daughter Agata, who are intent on carrying on the legacy by bringing to the industry unique, high quality, functional apparel through their collaboration with Donrad Duncan.
