Guardian and patron of all things meaningful and beautiful, Octavian K. is the fountain of drive and inspiration that will take a man on a fervid journey whose ultimate destination will be his own renaissance.

BRINGING THE FEEL OF FLORENCE TO MAYFAIR

Enslaved by a Florence born irresistible vision, Octavian K. is determined to show the way of enriching bespoke designs to the discerning gentleman. Each commission is hand-crafted near Carrara, by coincidence the very place where Michelangelo used to extract the marble he used to create his unearthly capodoperas.

 
MEET THE FOUNDER

OCTAVIAN COCIS

After working for seven years as an art director for major publishing companies, Octavian’s career took a sharp turn in 2008 when he decided to move to Florence. Upon graduating from Florence Design Academy with a Master of Arts, Octavian started delving into the thoughts of starting a menswear brand, incorporating his passion of the beauty and art of Florence, where the menswear brand would begin.

Whilst studying the Renaissance and the statues of the great sculptors of that period, I suddenly saw the timeless power behind the idealised view of man – in control and projecting the best possible version of himself to the world around him.

OUR STORY

THE BEGINNING

 

Florence. The birthplace of the Renaissance. Whilst studying art right in the cradle of it, I suddenly saw the timeless power behind the idealised view of man and so I became determined to bring this remarkable heritage to a new, fresh audience.

THE PASSION

 

There is something magical about the finest Italian cloth, it’s suppleness, the way it moves. At Octavian K. we’ve prepared a stellar selection allowing our customers to experience the centuries of expertise and tradition that go into Italian cloth.

THE VISION

 

We are a creative brand who doesn’t care much about rules. In an extremely competitive industry we are creating our own, original business model. A resourceful, fluid and ground-breaking one, built around the customer.
