Identity is the leitmotif of the ten collections, ever-changing identities like a rough canvas in which contrasts coexist, identities lost in past memories or in the Pirandellian sense which leads man to confront the canons of an artificial society experiencing anguish and fear. Every collection is linked to the concept of tailoring and craftsmanship that is composed and decomposed like the Rubik’s cube for example the Japanese kintsugi technique, the Filipino loom techniques or macramé that gives life to a metissage between East and West. Another pivotal topic is the sustainability achieved through the recovery and transformation of fabric waste. An inner journey with no creative, spiritual or concrete boundaries, therefore, able to excite and bring us back to the world of tailoring and experimentation with shapes and fabrics.
