I have always really liked drawing.
I have always thought about working in fashion. I have always sketched since I was a little girl.
When I joined Canali I started in the cutting department.
I had the chance to see most of the production process
then I moved to the modeling office
and there I had the opportunity to see the process that turns the model into finished clothing.
What cannot be expressed, let me say, as a silhouette, as an image
it is expressed through details, in the workmanship, in the specifics, in the care that people have when they work on our products.
There are two aspects that I consider very fascinating.
In the cutting phase, the study of the fabric
the processing of the pattern placement, the positioning of the various pieces.
In the part of the making of the clothing,
observing the manual skills of people.
We are talking about operations that are often very complicated, very difficult
but seeing how people move their hands,
manipulating various pieces that make up a jacket is really a very fascinating thing.
Our seamstresses tell us about different processes,
the difficulties they may have when composing a model
or when they come up with a new type of pocket or a particular detail.
The information they give us is always very valuable
because it allows us to improve in terms of modeling or cutting.
We try to provide them with a better service.
We help them with their work,
and they help us with the construction of the pattern.
We design jackets for a dynamic man, who is always on the move.
Right now, lightness is the most important thing in my opinion.
The fabric’s performance helps us to always get comfortable and casual garments
while respecting the sartorial image.
Seeing a garment on the catwalk, knowing that you have seen it being born
it is exciting for me.
