Is Avaro Figlio a Luxury Brand? Where It Sits, What It Costs and How It Compares

Avaro Figlio is less well known than the big Milan names, so it is a fair question. The short answer: yes, Avaro Figlio is a luxury couture eveningwear house. Here is what that means in practice.

What Avaro Figlio is

Avaro Figlio was founded in Milan in 2009 by its co-creative directors, Dario Biglino, who came from film and television, and Sulabh Kalra, a former model. The name is Italian for greedy son, and the founders use it as a nod to temptation. The house designs evening wear: gowns, cocktail dresses and evening separates, cut and finished in Italy.

Why it counts as luxury

Made to order in Italy. Pieces are produced after you order, not stocked in bulk. Couture finishing. Crystal and sequin embellishment, Chantilly lace and Mikado, and structured cady tailoring with basques and corsetry on the formal gowns. Price. On Coveti, gowns run from about $1,800 to $4,100, in the same band as Lebanese couture houses such as Zuhair Murad and Elie Saab ready-to-wear.

What the clothes are made of

Avaro Figlio publishes full compositions on every piece. Most of the evening cady is polyester with around 5% elastane, which gives it drape and a little stretch; velvet and sequin cloths add polyurethane. Some pieces use silk and viscose linings. The house’s value is in the cut, the embellishment and the Italian making, rather than in natural fibres, and that is worth knowing before you buy.

What it costs on Coveti

Evening separates start at $1,130 for the Tres Chic blouse. Cocktail dresses run from $1,670, as on the Bella mini. Gowns run from around $1,800 to $3,900 for the Black Corset Ball Gown, and up to $4,100 for earlier-season pieces such as the Lace-Back Gown With Sheer Corset Bodice.

How it compares

Avaro Figlio sits alongside Tony Ward, Gemy Maalouf and Safiyaa as a couture-level eveningwear specialist, below the haute couture of the Paris houses and above high street occasion wear. Read our full comparison of brands like Avaro Figlio.

Is it worth it?

If you want a gown that will be photographed, that fits closely, and that you will wear to more than one black tie event, yes. Choose a black gown and a jewel tone, which you will wear for years. Start with the Fall Winter 2026 collection and the size guide.
