The inspiration
GILAS takes its name from Gilardon Sisters, the house in Cortina where founder Chiara Lamberti has spent her winters since childhood, among family and friends. Then there are the women in her life, the inspiration behind a brand created to celebrate women's energy.
Cortina's vintage spirit still defines a distinctive way of dressing for the mountains: sporty layers worn alongside tailored pieces, natural materials, and a strong sense of personal style. GILAS reinterprets that wardrobe for today and for the city, with pieces designed for everyday wear.
The first collection starts with shearling. Rooted in alpine tradition, warm and resilient, it shapes iconic garments made to last well beyond a single season.
The brand
GILAS was born in 2026 with a clear idea: periodic capsules of bold, versatile, high-quality pieces, made entirely in Italy. The first drop features shearling gilets and coordinated accessories.
GILAS dresses a dynamic, urban woman who looks for quality and effortless elegance. Statement pieces designed for every occasion, from day to night, and made for layering.
The materials come exclusively from deadstock: exceptional skins and fabrics already in circulation, available only in small batches. Each batch is different in colour, texture and finish, which makes every garment nearly one of a kind.
The brand is built on a few essential values: quality over quantity, respect for the natural cycles of production, and slow, artisanal fashion over mass production. Pieces chosen with intention, contemporary and built to endure, for a zero-waste approach to fashion.
The community
Gilas is more than a fashion brand, it is a world of values and experiences to be shared, a community to live in. Through events, collaborations with other brands and artists, pop-ups and his showroom, Gilas aspires to build real connections.
