Dream Project

What Dream Project does

Dream Project S.p.A. is a privately held Italian fashion brand hub founded in 2011 in Barletta by Alessandro and Fabio Bosso, converting from an S.r.l. to an S.p.A. in 2015. It creates, produces and distributes streetwear and contemporary apparel and accessories through a portfolio of eight owned and licensed brands — most prominently Gaëlle Paris (acquired 100% in 2017), Mar de Margaritas, Hinnominate (developed with the Rodriguez Brothers), Comme Des FuckDown, Pharmacy Industry and Lonparny. Operations span the full value chain: in-house style offices, graphics, research, prototyping and modelling within a 5,000+ sqm Barletta headquarters, plus outsourced semi-finished work (~40%) from Apulian laboratories and finished production of accessories and footwear (~60%), with annual output exceeding one million garments.

The go-to-market is omnichannel: six Gaëlle Paris mono-brand retail stores across Italy (Bari, Rome, Naples, Milan), a wholesale showroom in Milan's Tortona fashion district, a B2B agent portal (dreamprojectb2b.sys-web.it), and digital channels supported by AI-generated marketing imagery and influencer relationships. The customer base spans end consumers through physical and e-commerce retail, and B2B wholesale accounts domestically and internationally; the company also engages in brand licensing for partner labels that leverage its design-to-retail infrastructure.

Commercial mechanics combine apparel and accessories product sales with licensing and royalty arrangements on managed brands. The company has signaled capital-markets engagement via published audited bilancio 2024 and Sella bank compliance documentation on its investor relations page, indicating possible debt financing activity alongside organic scaling of logistics capacity to 15,000 sqm and 24,000 cubic meters.
