What Label Under Construction is known for
Label Under Construction is a knitwear brand founded in 2003 by Luca Laurini, based in Perugia, Italy, drawing on his family's decades-old knitwear factory, a past supplier to luxury houses including Prada.
Label Under Construction was founded in 2003 by Luca Laurini, based in Perugia, Italy. Laurini trained at Polimoda in Florence and at FIT in New York, then worked for the Italian label Carpe Diem from 2000 to 2003 before starting his own line. His family background is central to the brand's technical grounding: his father ran a knitwear factory that, per brand coverage, supplied luxury houses including Prada.
The label's collections work mainly in wool, cashmere and silk, built around reversible knitting techniques, unconventional seaming and deliberately irregular patterning rather than conventional garment shapes.
