Hallo :)

Capes and dresses are almost complete now .

The first hat prototype is on the design desk;it is fantastic when I can start from an idea and then invent a new pattern to make my idea real.

A wonderful challange;it is a summary of art, tecnique, geometry,study of the fabric according with wishes and results.After making a drawing, in italian called 'bozzetto', I start looking for the right geometry for the pattern and the fabric and then transfer the drawing to the basic pattern and then I sew the first garment using a white cotton fabric to understand all the little imperfections of the pattern.So the prototype is born; but then, of course, I change it again and again until the final result is next to my first drawing.

You can aske me :don't the basic patterns work ?

Of course they work perfectly but the central point I am focusing is;

ORIGINALITY

Sometimes outfits ask me to be sewed out from the fabric ......yes, I love Michelangelo, even if I can not compare me to him, of course.

This doesn't mean, of course, that I never use basic patterns too,but just when they are perfect and match in the right and precise way the wished results for the first drawing and used fabric.

Anyway,why have I to use a pattern that can be found on internet quite easily,use it over and over making always the same dresses changing just the fabric, selling them at high prices?

I am not that type of person; I respect other people's work , I have seen many clothes made this way , they are wonderful but I am able enough to make original patterns by myself and, most of all, the creation work makes me happy

So I will go on this way :)

I hope to be always so happy and in love with a great sense of work :)
