I studied fashion at IUAV in Venice and now my safe haven is Fabrico, a laboratory and exhibition space that I opened in Turin with Anna, a photographer and friend. While most fashion students dreams of working for luxury brends, I need to explore the most intimate reality. Against the pomposity of fashion, I am looking for a slower and authentic approach, which enhances the quality rather than the quantity, trying to build more aware products and timeless . If I have describe my aesthetic: simple and unadorned.
Intimacy, simplicity, modesty, imperfection and slowness are the ethical principles and aesthetic behind the whole Mottainai collection.To achieve it I was inspired by the habitants of a small village near Kyoto, living in the outdoors making clothes with what it offers: cotton, hemp, dyeing plants. Mottainai, in fact, means adversities to the waste and attention to resources, to work, to objects of daily use.
Who goes too high, often it falls.
