Ailanto is a Barcelona-based fashion company set up in 1992. Behind Alianto are Iñaki y Aitor Muñoz. Both were born in Algorta (the Basque Country) in 1968 and both graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. Iñaki also qualified in Fashion Design at the IADE School in Barcelona.

The Ailanto universe is mainly visual; its most characteristic features include its colour combinations and geometrical forms as well as its references to avant-garde and modern artistic trends. The accent is placed heavily on a careful attention to details and finishes, as well as fine fabrics (linen, wool and silk) that add the sense of lightness necessary to balance industrial rigidity and ultra-modern aesthetics.

Ailanto first made its presence felt on the national market in 1995 through its participation in a series of fashion shows including Gaudí (Barcelona) and the International Fashion Week (Madrid). In 1999 it moved onto the international scene, participating in shows such as the Paris Prêt à Porter (Atmosphères) and the Creators' Week at Workshop Paris and Tranoï. The firm's major international markets include Japan, the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Italy. Leading boutiques and top department stores such as Bergdorf Goodman (NY), Penélope (Brescia), Lane Crawford (Hong Kong), Barneys New York (Tokyo), Selfridges (London) Baycrew’s Spick and Span (Tokyo), The American Rag Cie (Los Angeles, San Francisco), Aquagirl (Tokyo) all stock and support their collections.
