Martina Mendiburu Aletti

Founder of Martina Maletti
Martina, of half Spanish and half Italian descent, found her greatest inspiration in her mother Amelie, an Italian woman with a passion for fashion.
His family has a rich history in the industry, being the founders of Sartoria Ventura: a prestigious Italian fashion house that has been in operation since 1815 in Milan under the direction of Domenico Ventura.

The company, which had more than 800 employees and several locations, has dressed renowned personalities, from film and theatre actresses such as Clara Calamai and Isa Miranda, to members of the nobility such as the Queen of Italy, Marie-Joseph of Belgium, and the princesses Colonna, Barberini and Odescalchi, as well as the wealthy bourgeoisie of the time.

This legacy had a profound influence on Martina, awakening in her an innate passion for fashion and design. However, her approach differs significantly from the traditional approach to the industry.
