What was your first project?
Our first project together was the overalls, the first outcome of our research, the core item of our brand, our connotative language.
The creative process: do you work instinctively or plan every single step? Where do your ideas come from?
We create instinctively, numbering our collections instead of giving them seasonality. Each piece carries a story, an inspiration that guides us in weaving connections between every single garment we create.
What did you think when Berto contacted you?
We first heard about Berto from a student who participated in one of our workshops. We really liked the idea that a textile company was finally offering fabrics without imposing minimum purchase requirements. For our small artisanal business, it is an invaluable resource.
Which Berto fabrics have you worked with for your project and collections?
For our collections, we have used Vogue Sky85, Nevada, Janis, and Globe Sky. While for our school and especially for workshops, we have used Pence Lime 7
“Less but better” can be interpreted as an endorsement of a certain degree of purity in design and fashion design. It can also be understood as an environmental message about reduction and sustainability. What are your thoughts?
The principles of Slow Fashion guide our daily work. Every production phase is as sustainable as possible, supporting the most ethical craftsmanship possible.
We defend what we value, such as patience and respect for creation times. Our choice has been to utilize the most undervalued resource, time, forgoing garment stocking and creating clothes exclusively when they are commissioned.
Each piece is generated by a real need and request, in full respect of the minimalism that has always been our inspiration.
Is there something you’ve never done that you’d like to accomplish?
We have many projects for the future, the most important of which we will soon begin working on is the preparation of a pattern-making and tailoring techniques textbook, aimed at our students and all those who want to immerse themselves in this world.
