16Arlington

Looking for second hand 16Arlington pieces? From sequin-strewn gowns to feather-trimmed separates, 16Arlington is the brand rewriting the rules of modern glamour. Designed for those who dress to stand out, not blend in, the London-based label has quickly become the go-to for fashion’s most photographed - bringing a fresh, rebellious edge to contemporary occasionwear.

Founded in 2017 by design duo Marco Capaldo and the late Federica “Kikka” Cavenati, 16Arlington exploded onto the scene with its playful take on high fashion. Mixing high-shine drama with razor-sharp tailoring, their collections balance tongue-in-cheek boldness with genuine couture-level craftsmanship. The label was named after the couple’s London apartment - a nod to their intimate, collaborative beginnings.

Since its debut, 16Arlington has dressed some of the world’s most influential style icons, from Lizzo and Jodie Turner-Smith to Olivia Rodrigo and Adwoa Aboah. The brand has become synonymous with It-girl energy, party-season power, and a distinct fashion-forward attitude.

Following Federica’s passing in 2021, Marco Capaldo continues to lead the brand with a more emotional, poetic tone, blending the signature 16Arlington glamour with moments of softness, subtlety and elegance - making the pieces even more versatile, collectible and wearable than ever.

Why 16Arlington Has a Cult Following

16Arlington is for women who aren’t afraid to be seen. The brand offers a sense of playfulness that’s often missing from high fashion — think exaggerated feathers, high-shine fabrics, crystal embellishments and fearless colour palettes. But beneath the surface drama is a deep understanding of cut, fit and fabrication.

Each collection is rooted in contrast: hard and soft, past and future, glamour and grit. Whether it’s a disco-inspired mini dress or a minimalist coat lined in marabou trim, 16Arlington turns clothing into a statement.

Signature Style Features Include:

- Feather trims on cuffs, collars and hems
- Sculptural tailoring and asymmetric cuts
- Metallic fabrics, sequins and high-sheen finishes
- Fluid silks and draped jersey
- Clean lines that allow the details to shine

These pieces aren’t just for parties — they’re for moments. Whether you’re heading to a gallery opening or a destination wedding, 16Arlington makes sure all eyes are on you.

- Feather-trimmed mini dresses and gowns
- Longline sequinned coats and tailoring
- Stretch jersey separates with draped or knotted detailing
- Liquid satin slips and one-shoulder dresses
