Mezzanotte was born from a simple belief: the most extraordinary garments deserve more than a single moment.
Founded by Melina Bernardini-Howell and Lavinia Spiekermann, long-time friends and passionate collectors, the platform grew out of years spent sourcing rare pieces across the global fashion landscape, from archival couture and exceptional vintage to emerging designers shaping the future of fashion.
Along the way, they built trusted relationships with private collectors, fashion archives, and industry insiders across Zurich, Milan, New York, Seoul, and Tokyo, gaining access to pieces that rarely leave the world’s most coveted wardrobes.
The name Mezzanotte — meaning midnight — reflects a moment of transformation.
Inspired by the story of Cinderella, it plays with the idea of access, the opportunity to step into something rare and unforgettable, if only for a moment. For a limited time, each piece allows you to become a version of yourself that feels elevated, effortless, and entirely unforgettable.
Like her, you step into the moment fully until midnight arrives and the moment gently comes to an end.
And if you fall in love with a piece, you have the option to make it your own.
Mezzanotte exists to create these moments, a curated destination where exceptional garments can be discovered, worn, and remembered.
