I oversee the repairs department, a small workshop, an in-house tailor shop.
We deal with garments that have been sold, photo shoots, fashion shows, shooting, fitting...
Since I was little, I have had this passion for sewing, for embroidery.
I do not know why I had this thing about making dresses for dolls,
clothes for my sister, clothes for myself.
When I joined the company in 2008, there were still old seamstresses there.
and they said to me, "We know you can know how to do things but forget everything!"
"Here, there is a method that continues craft traditions."
In my workshop we usually just do things the way they were before.
We still use sewing machines that are over fifty years old
because, for instance, they make the kind of buttonhole you do not make with another machine.
We have a tradition here, roots that you cannot find anywhere.
A lot of people probably think that coming into the fashion world means that everything is beautiful, shows, catwalks...
But it is not like that because tailoring is different.
Patience, patience and patience. Humility. So much work. So much passion.
There are young colleagues in my department, the last newcomer is 28.
It is a joy to me, because I know she will continue all this.
The seamstresses' hands are the seamstresses' hands.
I do not know, they are not that pretty but when working even if you get stung you don’t feel it.
Because you are doing something good.
And it is important that when I go home even though I am often tired, I am happy.
My kids see me satisfied too.
When the work is finished, you see it so beautiful.
A nice straight stitch all ironed out...
I feel a joy and a glory that, in my way, I belong to this company too.
