THE WORLD OF BERTO:
CULTURE AND INNOVATION

What was your first project? My thesis was probably my first real project and one of the first where I engaged with sustainability as an essential principle. I wanted the materials to dictate the ideas, shapes, and garment patterns to me, not the other way around....

What was your first project? Aelle is our first project together, the union of our different professional paths. Ludovica's path is more connected to the world of design, while Alex's is more technical, linked to the world of denim treatments. From this union comes...

What was your first project? We began by studying the forms of a natural phenomenon called 'calanchi' - long, thin, and deep furrows created by water erosion, typical of clay soils. We studied and verified the natural modulations of these prodigies, translating them...

What was your first project? One day, a chef friend of mine, almost jokingly, asked me to make him a "special" apron. From this, I understood that artisans who create beautiful and unique things need more style in their aprons without compromising on durability!...

A stone quarry, a secluded beach, New York and its bridges. Three different settings for Kjøre Project and its products: some of Berto's most renowned fabrics were used to create them. These are paired with precious leathers that undergo very ancient aging treatments.

What was your first project? We named our first project "THE ROAD" jumpsuit. We wanted to revisit a classic work jumpsuit with a modern twist, so we completely reconstructed the fit while preserving the essence of the full coverall - rugged, masculine, raw. The...

An autumn/winter collection inspired by marble, velvet, geometry, light and color, the strong personality of Gigina and her sister Nedda that can still be felt in the beautiful early twentieth-century Villa Necchi Campiglio, just steps from Milan's center. And Necchi...

What was your first project? I started with practical experience, selling my first garments on Etsy and trying to test public feedback. However, my first official project, and the one I will always hold dear to my heart, was the demi-couture capsule that I created as...

The collection looks, with admiration and nostalgia, at the splendor of ancient Greece, its sublime art, and majestic architecture. However, what interests the designers is not only the timeless character of ancient art but its relationship with time and the...

In this ninth edition, an international jury composed of top buyers, fashion journalists, and opinion makers will be called upon to judge the finalists' collections and determine the winners. Among the finalists? Also two of our Berto4YoungTalents, namely...

What was your first project? A pair of trousers. We call this project "geppebba," a mix of our names Geppetto & Ebba. A design with the potential to become a timeless classic. The design distills the look of a form that follows its function and represents our...

What was your first project? My first project was the result of my initial fashion design idea, which was to create eye-catching fitted casual tops for young men. I named it Marteino, after my middle name. The creative process: do you work instinctively or plan every...

What was your first project? Our first project started with the idea of producing a new yoga mat bag. Since we couldn’t find anything on the market that suited our needs, we felt it was time to design something new and fresh ourselves. The core idea behind our label...

What was your first project? To start, I chose 100% cotton denim, the kind that's stiff, hard, and almost stands on its own! I made six pairs of pants, each different in both the fabrics used and the finishes. A canvas that fades with washing, leaving visible signs of...

What was your first project? My first project was created for the Sympatex Award 2010. I designed a snowboarding uniform using fabrics from Sympatex and won second prize. It was very interesting, but also something new for me to work with these special fabrics and...

What was your first project? My first fashion-related project was my fashion blog called "Wild Young Heart". It was during the blog boom worldwide, but for Russia it was relatively new, so it was easier to stand out. I used it to showcase uncomfortable outfits created...

What was your first project? As my first project, I was free to use any type of material and... I sprayed water on toilet paper and shaped it with water, creating a flower. It was a bit difficult to define them as actual "garments," but I liked the idea of...
