Marco Capaldo, I'M Alumnus of the Fashion Design Bachelor's programme at Istituto Marangoni London, stands out as one of most notable fashion designers in the UK and abroad. He is widely known as the co-founder and creative director of the brand 16 Arlington.

Having graduated from Istituto Marangoni London in 2015, Marco, alongside fellow I'M Alumna Federica Cavenati, established 16 Arlington in 2018. The brand was conceived to merge their creative visions and Italian heritage, aiming to capture the tension between the subversive and the sensual, as well as precision and provocation.
Quickly gaining attention, 16 Arlington has attracted celebrities, such as Kendall Jenner and Alexa Chung, stylists, and industry insiders. In 2020, the brand made its official debut at London Fashion Week, and ever since it has been regularly showcasing both its Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer collections on this prestigious stage.
Notably, Marco's talent and 16Arlington's ascent were further affirmed by prestigious recognitions such as the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund in 2023.
