"High Voltage"


Since her debut in 2014, it is difficult to classify Marianne Cancrini as simply an Italian designer. Her collection breaks cultural, social, historical, and innovative boundaries. She developed a passion for creativity and design, after spending time in London to learn the English language; Marianne returned to Rome and enrolled at The European Institute Of Design. After working in the design sector, she was inspired to create Phactory Lab; Marianne’s mission with the brand is to offer a city chic collection both in design, wear ability and quality.

Layer varied textures and a statement cape to form the ultimate urban uniform. The black and white sophistication sometimes can be broken over bright colours. The focus on the collection at hand is on the city woman, who looks seemingly casual, while still showing her inner fashionista. The sharp intertwined leather echoes pure delight of intrigue, while enhancing movements of an avant- garde paradise.


The high voltage of a futuristic feel is evident through every intellectual. Phactory Lab’s latest campaign is seductive with a black romance and unique undertones. Some looks never go out of style.
