THE PROJECT

Welcome to Katreen, where fashion tells a story of sustainability, creativity, and connection. Based in Florence, Italy, Katreen is a modern, ethical label creating made-to-order garments that reflect individuality and purpose.

The brand was founded by Katrin Portincasa, an Italian-French designer who began her journey in Rome, earning a degree in Fashion Design and Haute Couture. She started her career in menswear design while pursuing her passion for crafting bespoke pieces for events and historical costumes. Katrin later transitioned to women’s fashion, achieving significant milestones before settling in Tuscany to realize her dream: launching her own “slow-fashion” line. With Katreen, she creates garments that embody her values and innovative style.

 

Our Vision

Katreen offers a fresh perspective on fashion distinct from fleeting trends.
For us, fashion is a form of communication, a language of contrasts expressing a full spectrum of emotions. Serious but never severe, meticulous yet experimental, strong yet sensual, Katreen embodies a rock-glam aesthetic that’s darkly romantic, blending rebellion with refinement.

“The union of masculine and feminine, past and present, and diverse styles: we blur the boundaries of gender, challenge stereotypes, and reimagine historical concepts to create something entirely new.

It’s a philosophy, a way of dressing, and a mindset that merges curiosity with a touch of audacity. It’s an image born of contrasts—unexpected and striking. It’s Katreen."
