WEBVTT

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.400
I oversee the repairs department, a small workshop, an in-house tailor shop.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.280
We deal with garments that have been sold,
photo shoots, fashion shows, shooting, fitting...

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.240
Since I was little, I have had this passion for sewing, for embroidery.

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:34.600
I do not know why I had this thing about making dresses for dolls,

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.720
clothes for my sister, clothes for myself.

00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:43.240
When I joined the company in 2008, there were still old seamstresses there.

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.920
and they said to me, "We know you can know
how to do things but forget everything!"

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.000
"Here, there is a method that continues craft traditions."

00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.520
In my workshop we usually just do things the way they were before.

00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.800
We still use sewing machines that are over fifty years old

00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.000
because, for instance, they make the kind
of buttonhole you do not make with another machine.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.240
We have a tradition here, roots that you cannot find anywhere.

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:20.720
A lot of people probably think that coming into the fashion world
means that everything is beautiful, shows, catwalks...

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:24.200
But it is not like that because tailoring is different.

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:31.040
Patience, patience and patience. Humility. So much work. So much passion.

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.440
There are young colleagues in my department, the last newcomer is 28.

00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:38.520
It is a joy to me, because I know she will continue all this.

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.360
The seamstresses' hands are the seamstresses' hands.

00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:49.840
I do not know, they are not that pretty but when working
even if you get stung you don’t feel it.

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.240
Because you are doing something good.

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:56.800
And it is important that when I go home
even though I am often tired, I am happy.

00:01:56.800 --> 00:02:00.640
My kids see me satisfied too.

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.200
When the work is finished, you see it so beautiful.

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.480
A nice straight stitch all ironed out...

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:13.080
I feel a joy and a glory that, in my way, I belong to this company too.
