Ilaria Urbinati Menswear: Tailoring, Knits and Winter Layers From Her Client Wardrobe

The Hollywood stylist's approach to menswear, from texture-rich tailoring to cold-weather pieces.

Shop Ilaria Urbinati menswear, from tailored suits and textured knits to winter coats, footwear and finishing pieces tied to her client work.

Ilaria Urbinati's menswear starts with the client

Ilaria Urbinati is an Italian-born, Paris-raised fashion stylist based in Los Angeles. She began as a buyer for high-end boutiques, then opened Confederacy and collaborated on tailored suits worn by Ryan Gosling's character in Crazy, Stupid, Love.

 

Her work starts with the person, not a uniform. PEOPLE describes Ryan Reynolds' style as elegant but quirky, says Chris Evans trusted her to test new fabrics and cuts after nearly 15 years together, and reports that she turns to herringbone, tweeds, velvet and corduroy for Ben Affleck in winter.

The labels she uses to make menswear feel personal

Vogue names Barry Keoghan as one of her clients and lists Burberry, Givenchy, Bode, Ami Paris, Louis Vuitton and Ferragamo among his season's labels. For Donald Glover, GQ and the Los Angeles Times connect her work to Gucci, Bode, Bottega Veneta and Zegna.

 

PEOPLE documents a custom Saint Laurent tux for Rami Malek and a Tom Ford tux for Bradley Cooper, while Tom and Lorenzo credits her with Chris Evans' Brunello Cucinelli corduroy suit. The 2024 Governors Awards article credits her with Zac Efron's Fendi suit, and The Wall Group lists her Montblanc capsules and David Yurman partnership.

Where I would start with Ilaria Urbinati's style

Begin with strong tailoring and let a winter texture set the tone. Add one coat or knit with character, then finish with a simple belt or bracelet. I would keep the rest quiet so the clothes still feel like the person wearing them.
