Teaming up with US

My History:

For more than twelve years I worked in research and development in the textile and printing industry. Working side by side with the biggest producers of the Fashion System both in Italy and the rest of the world.
Always seeing fashion from behind the scenes. When you are used to working in the supply chain and you are far away from the glossy reality and perfect garments you see in shop windows and in fashion shows you are used to seeing things differently!?

There were a lot of clothes in the factories I visited but when did the magic happen? When and how did a simple piece of clothing become fashion?

I didn't think I would work in fashion until I was in it!

I've always been passionate about ?how? things are made, I was passionate about printing, the colours that go on fabrics, special finishes, for work I used to deal with the style offices of big companies and manufacturing companies.

What they had in common was that they were always looking for something new, something that would impress the customer, something that would differentiate their products. Slowly they discovered the world of packaging until they reached trade fairs, distribution, dealing with buyers and all kinds of customers.

I discovered that in reality in "big" fashion creativity played a marginal role, and although there was a great focus on creating some unique and truly recognisable garments (the showcase garment) most collections were "standard", the designers working in the company who at first seemed mythological figures, were actually victims of "trends" of "what other brands were doing" of "what their distributors would like" and were never really free.

I wanted to offer my experience? to all those who had an idea, an intuition or a dream but did not yet know how to begin

In my journey, I had realised one thing: to create something unique, you had to be the ?mind? behind every creation and not be afraid to put your face to it and offer it directly to the market! If you really wanted to create something unique and innovative, you had to get out of the ?chain logic? and start thinking differently. There MUST have been a way for fashion to work, even in a small way.

After all, Italy is the country par excellence of fashion, and every year thousands of Italian and international students attend fashion academies and schools with the hope of eventually becoming fashion designers. But why are there so few emerging brands?

Why were the collections coming out of the academies more like self-propelled contemporary art exhibitions than dream clothes worthy of being admired, desired and bought?

Taken by these questions, I began to study marketing, the link that could transform a dress into a fashion item, I used all my knowledge of psychology that I had learned in two degrees and a master's degree to try to understand the mechanisms behind the creation of a fashion product, and to find a replicable and strategic method to explain not only how to make attractive products, but to build one's brand.

For years I have been working with up-and-coming designers who, despite having great skills and having studied for years, are literally PARALYZED when it comes to starting to create something of their own for the first time This happens because in no school or fashion course are they taught how to create a business in fashion, but only how to create garments that then don't really have to be sold!

That is why a consultation with me can help you get the overview you need to become not only a creator? in fashion, but a true entrepreneur!
