THE ITALIAN COLLECTION

ABOUT THE ITALIAN STORY DESIGN TE AM

Antonietta Amaro is the designer behind the projects. She has worked with everyone from Max Mara, Calvin Klein, Ermanno Scervino, Tommy Hilfiger, to Alexander Mc Queen.

A true collaborative effort, she teamed up with graphic designer Elena Garzanti, whose fashion experience helped shape the look and feel of the collection. The team was led

by Michela Cesana and her years of experience within the textile and fashion industry. Together, they dove headfirst into creating a collection that has classic lines, modern sensibilities and showcases each of the four yarns in this collection at their best.
