Dres Ladro
Descendant of Thieves is designed by the
pseudonymous Dres Ladro. -Ladro - translated from
Italian means thief. This is the inspiration for
the name, Descendant of Thieves. Dres Ladro
designs, constructs, and only wears his own
clothing, so as to never be seen wearing the same
thing as anyone else. True to this limited
edition philosophy, no more than 500 units are
cut per style (see care label for No).

His Story
An illegitimate art exhibition The location of
Dres Ladro's art exhibition was on the 5th floor
of an abandoned building in Berlin's Mitte
neighborhood. Due to the absence of electricity,
this event, which had undertones of an old-world
secret society soirée, was intensely lit by
candles only. Upon entering the expansive 12-room
Victorian suite, every individual was required to
wear a suggestively seductive black harlequin eye
mask. The obscure brilliance to his art was that
it was directly painted on to the walls so that
after the exhibition, it would be suitably
abandoned just as the building was. Dres stood
out with his unique attire. After a brief
conversation about starting a business, he made
it clear that he designs only for himself so that
he never walks into a room with someone else
wearing the same thing. He had no interest in
selling his designs. He put exclusivity to the
forefront and returned to the root of his
passion designing limited edition clothes for
himself alone. Eventually, he agreed to embark on
Descendant of Thieves, but only after setting
strict conditions. One of them includes producing
very limited runs per style so others can share
in the distinct pleasure of feeling unique. The
other condition was that he wanted to design
under the name Dres Ladro.

Why cover the face of model
- Sometimes it should just be about the clothes.
It's really not that bizarre. When is the
last time you saw a mannequin with eyes. - It's
a point of reflection You can see yourself in
the clothing. - Inspired by an unseen designer.
And perhaps they are right, it does add a bit of
mystery.
