Brands Like Taller Marmo: 6 Evening Labels to Know in 2026
The closest brands like Taller Marmo are Safiyaa, The Attico, 16Arlington, Alessandra Rich, Elie Saab and Johanna Ortiz. Each shares part of the Taller Marmo formula of fluid kaftans, feather trims and jet-set eveningwear made in Italy, and all six are stocked at Coveti alongside the full Taller Marmo edit, so you can compare them side by side.
What makes Taller Marmo hard to replace?
Taller Marmo owns a very specific idea: the kaftan as a serious evening garment. The label was founded in 2013 by Riccardo Audisio and Yago Goicoechea, who met as students at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan. They launched in Dubai with fluid kaftans inspired by 1960s and 1970s jet-set style, and the house now works between Milan and Dubai. The name joins the Spanish “taller” (workshop) with the Italian “marmo” (marble).
Three things set it apart. The first is fabric: viscose-blend crepe cady, double viscose satin, viscose and silk velvet, and silk fil coupe and metallic organza woven in Como. The second is movement, from fringe to ostrich-feather boa. The third is fit. Many kaftans are one size, which the brand says comfortably fits between an Italian 36 and an Italian 48, and every piece is made in Italy.
The Mrs Ross Kaftan in Emerald Green ($2,170) is the clearest example. A house classic since 2019, it is framed by more than seven metres of fluid fringe. The Del Rio Dress in Emerald Green ($3,120), an ankle-length column with ostrich-feather boa at the bell sleeves, is the other signature. No single brand copies both. The six below each cover one part of the picture. For the full story of the house, read who is Taller Marmo.
Which brands are most like Taller Marmo?
The six labels below are the nearest matches Coveti stocks, chosen for overlap in mood, occasion and silhouette.
| Brand | Base | Signature | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taller Marmo | Milan and Dubai | Fringed kaftans, feather boa, Como fil coupe | Resort evenings, weddings, black tie with ease |
| Safiyaa | London | Sculptural gowns and capes | Formal dinners, galas |
| The Attico | Milan | Nightlife dressing, slip dresses, bold party pieces | Late parties, fashion-led evenings |
| 16Arlington | London | Feather trims, sequins, party dresses | Cocktail hour, celebrations |
| Alessandra Rich | London | Vintage-inspired glamour, polka dots, sharp shoulders | Daytime events, retro evenings |
| Elie Saab | Beirut | Embellished couture-style gowns, lace, beading | Black tie, red-carpet occasions |
| Johanna Ortiz | Cali, Colombia | Ruffles, prints, resort dresses | Destination weddings, holiday dressing |
Is Safiyaa a good alternative to Taller Marmo?
Yes, if you want the same calm, covered glamour with more structure. Safiyaa is a London eveningwear label known for sculptural gowns and capes. Where Taller Marmo lets fabric fall loose from the shoulder, Safiyaa tends to build shape into the garment itself.
The two meet in the cape. Taller Marmo’s Grace Cape Dress in Midnight Blue ($5,820) is a floor-length slip dress under a sheer silk creponne cape trimmed with ostrich-feather boa, a softer take on the idea Safiyaa is known for. Choose Safiyaa when the dress code is formal and the room is grand. Choose Taller Marmo when you want the same coverage with more movement. Our guide to brands like Safiyaa goes further.
How does The Attico compare with Taller Marmo?
The Attico is the more nocturnal, fashion-forward cousin. The Milan label is known for nightlife dressing: slip dresses, bold party pieces and an attitude built for after midnight.
Taller Marmo shares the party instinct but dresses it in a different register. The Hollywood Disco Gown in Multicolor ($8,360) is iridescent three-dimensional sequins embroidered over tulle in an hourglass line, with ostrich-feather boa at the neckline and hem. It is maximal, but it is still a gown. The Attico usually reads younger and sharper. If you like both, see our edit of brands like The Attico.
Is 16Arlington similar to Taller Marmo?
Closely, on the feathers and sequins. 16Arlington is a London label known for feather trims, sequins and party dresses, which puts it right beside the Taller Marmo Fall 2026 collection.
The difference is length and line. 16Arlington leans to shorter, body-skimming party dresses. Taller Marmo works more in floor-length kaftans and columns, though the Velvet Vegas Kaftan in Midnight Blue ($4,230) shows the overlap: a short, rounded kaftan in viscose and silk velvet with a deep band of ostrich-feather boa at the hem. More options sit in our guide to brands like 16Arlington.
Why look at Alessandra Rich if you like Taller Marmo?
Because both labels mine the past for their glamour. Alessandra Rich is a London label known for vintage-inspired dressing, with polka dots and strong shoulders among its recurring codes.
Taller Marmo’s Fall 2026 collection looks back to the 1920s and the silver screen, with Poiret cocoon shapes, flapper low waists and Old Hollywood mermaid skirts. The Butterfly Gown in Antique Bronze ($2,800) pairs a cocoon blouse with a long mermaid skirt in double viscose satin. Alessandra Rich tends to look to later decades and to tailored shapes, so the two sit well in one wardrobe without repeating each other.
Is Elie Saab a Taller Marmo alternative for black tie?
Yes, when the occasion calls for full embellishment. Elie Saab is a Beirut house known for embellished gowns, with lace and beading at the heart of its eveningwear.
Taller Marmo gets to a similar sparkle by a looser route. The Firefly Kaftan in Multicolor ($3,760) is a floor-length kaftan covered in iridescent sequins over sheer tulle, offered in one size with a matching belt at the waist. It gives you a black-tie surface without a corseted bodice. Elie Saab is the pick when tradition rules the room. Taller Marmo is the pick when you want to sit, dance and eat in comfort.
Does Johanna Ortiz suit the same occasions?
For resort weddings and holiday evenings, very much so. Johanna Ortiz is a Colombian label from Cali known for ruffles, prints and resort dresses.
Taller Marmo began with the same resort-to-evening mood, in solid colours and fluid crepe. The OOO Kaftan in Midnight Blue ($1,690), named for Out Of Office, is a floor-length crepe cady kaftan with a plunging neck and a front slit. Johanna Ortiz brings print and frill where Taller Marmo keeps the surface plain and lets the drape speak. See brands like Johanna Ortiz for more.
Which Taller Marmo pieces have no real equivalent elsewhere?
The fringed and buttoned kaftans are the pieces the other labels do not make in the same way.
- Mila Kaftan: the Mila Satin Kaftan in Midnight Blue ($2,330) has sixty working buttons along the neckline, so you can wear it off the shoulder and cold-shoulder.
- Notte Gown: the Notte Gown in Black ($4,870) mixes a crepe cady bodice, a low-waisted sequin and tube-bead skirt and a seam of ostrich-feather boa. Per the house, Naomi Watts first wore it in New York.
- Sphinx Kaftan: the Sphinx Kaftan in Antique Gold ($2,720) is metallic organza woven in Como over a matching crepe cady slip dress.
- Eolia Jumpsuit: the Eolia Jumpsuit in Emerald Green ($2,170) is a blouson top on palazzo legs, a gown alternative in crepe cady.

How do sizes compare across these brands?
Taller Marmo cuts Italian sizes IT 36 to 48, and the brand says its sized pieces fit true to size.
Coveti lists those as UK sizes: IT 36 is UK 4, IT 38 is UK 6, IT 40 is UK 8, IT 42 is UK 10, IT 44 is UK 12, IT 46 is UK 14 and IT 48 is UK 16. US sizing runs roughly UK minus 4, so IT 38 is about a US 2. The one-size kaftans are the easy entry point if you are moving between labels, since they are cut to sit across a wide range of frames.
