PESCEPAZZO
Taormina
As a child she already showed an innate passion for fabrics, clothes and accessories, involving her friends in impromptu catwalk shows along the corridors of her house. With the help and encouragement of Nonna Cettina, a talented painter and underwater photographer, Laura began to put her creations on paper, and started to dream of becoming a real fashion designer one day. At eighteen she moved to Rome to study law, without ever neglecting her love for fashion. Five years later, after completing her degree, Laura headed back to Sicily to give her true passion a real chance, by creating and launching a vibrant and lively brand entwined with her love for both Sicily and beauty: thus PESCEPAZZO began.

LAURA GALAVOTTI FOR GALARUBINA
Urbania
I studied arts and graphics in Urbino, every morning I went inside Palazzo Ducale where the school of Libro was and where I experienced and discovered the possibilities of various techniques and of the creation. From my family ancestors, men and women, I inherited a certain manual skill partner of a creative thought, mind - heart - hands, so I started doing my own handbags in total autonomy. I imagined them, designed them realised and wore them ... so with my cute bags and a lot of naive youth I met Piero Guidi who already had a strong brand and was making beautiful handbags. I entered in the group and I remained there many years, learning something new every day , growing and knowing the world. After this a big change happened, I moved to Florence to work for an American multinational company owner of Calvin Klein. After this experience I decided to work as a freelance for various leather goods brands for the accessories in Italy and abroad such as Dondup. One day I felt in love with a painting with a landscape and from that view I started with my own brand Galarubina. Today I only work for my project and work as a teacher in a fashion institute.

Subsequently the images obtained from the photos of the paintings are printed on fine fabrics. Hence my “Emotions to wear”: a collection of maxi foulards in an impalpable and bright 100% silk chiffon, costumes and cover-ups, dresses for day and evening and men's clutch bags.
ANNA SUMISURA by Cristiana Giani
I want to tell you a little about my passion for Africa and for dressmaking, two pillars of this brand. Africa, our mother earth, its population and the inherent values of its culture, so ancient and profound, have always fascinated me. The disposition of African people, the diversity of its states and their traditions are mirrored in their clothes, jewellery, food, music. This combination of aesthetic and moral values has always been a great source of inspiration for me. I started buying African fabrics and jewellery a few years ago from a dear Senegalese friend of mine, in Rimini, where I live and work. Wax prints have inspired me to design clothes and have them made. And magic happened. Wearing these articles of clothing, I understood very soon that they carry a great moral, emotional and historical power. I did more research on African fabrics and I fell more and more in love with them. I discovered a wonderful world full of history, tradition, religion. All the patterns on the beautiful cotton have a meaning and these fabrics are like open books that you can wear. The world of wax prints made me increasingly enthusiastic, so I began to look for retailers all over the world and I started buying fabrics without a clear project in mind. But I didn’t have to wait long. I designed skirts and gave them African female names. All models are named after women; it’s fitting since it’s women who are going to wear them. I wanted to celebrate and highlight feminine elegance by combining Italian design with these eccentric fabrics. I didn’t want to launch yet another brand in the already saturated apparel market, which has a partiality for low costs, labour exploitation, distribution rules, sales and whatnot. I wanted to do something different, something real. Then it was time to give a name to the brand: Annasumisura. Anna is my mother’s name, one of the most elegant women I’ve ever met. When I was a child, she had a seamstress make all the clothes for the entire family, children included. I loved going with her to fabric shops, where there was a unique smell and where words would have an unfamiliar sound to the ears of a child: brocade, chiffon, crinoline, organza, houndstooth, gabardine, piqué, poplin, Glen plaid, tweed, velour. I felt like I was in a temple and she knew everything. Every skirt will surely display the personality of the woman who wears it. The result is an article that highlights every figure, handmade by Italian seamstresses with wonderful African fabrics. That’s how I wanted to enhance dressmaking, precious artisanal work. It certainly hasn’t been easy and still isn’t, because I haven’t taken a big leap and I haven’t left my office job in accounting, a job that I’ve been doing for many, maybe too many, years (who would’ve thought?). But every day, I get messages from my clients: they tell me how happy and satisfied they feel when they wear such an exclusive and personal article of clothing and this motivates me to go on with determination and a smile. So, what are you waiting for? Wear a skirt, leave the house smiling and things will go the right way!
Bianca Imbembo for Kilesa
At the age of forty, I felt a strong desire to question myself, to create something new, which would make me feel successful not only in my personal life but also from a professional point of view. To do this I was inspired by my greatest passion: "Fashion" and especially accessories like “bags”. Obviously I knew that starting a new professional path at 40 years old would have been a courageous undertaking and even today it continually puts me in front of many obstacles, but I have always thought of the age as a personal data and never as an impediment, therefore as long as I’m full of energy I will always set myself new and stimulating goals. Thus was born KILESA Brand, designed to bring excellence of Campania region to the world, creating products of the highest quality corresponding the goals of social responsibility and eco-sustainability. KILESA bags and accessories are created for elegant and stylish women who love to be different without ever showing off, preferring unique objects for their style, manufacturing quality and exclusively Italian design. The world of the web fascinates me a lot, it represents a window on the world, so I think for being successful it is essential to adapt to it. Hence the importance of having an attractive website, an online shop, as well as making the most of all the social channels available. All this is essential to keep up with the times. Strong motivation and determination have allowed me to pursue and achieve many goals, but there are still many things to be done and are in the program. I love challenges and I’m sure that "If you believe in what you do then you can go and win!"
FRANCINE
BOLOGNA Emilia Romagna
Everyone has always had a favourite part of their body. Mine? Hair. Since I was a child I’ve always took care of them, I usually played with essential oils and every kind of product from my grandma’s bathroom. Also, I was fascinated by the hairstyles that the hairdressers were able to make and I’ve always tried to replicate them at home. When you take care of your body you feel better right? This is the passion that I carried on until today when I decided to turn it into a job. In this difficult economic moment I wanted to strengthen the potential that we have in Italy. All the fabrics and the packaging and the manufacturing of the product are exclusively made in Italy from small companies that have contributed to create something that few months ago was only an idea. Why Silk? During quarantine I’ve read a lot of articles and blogs and I’ve analyzed and icreased my knowledge on the applications of silk not only as a fabric but like a cosmetic. In Italy this world is still not discovered buti t surely has a big potential. Francine Hair Care was born to bring people what my passion has always given me, the well-being of yourself.
Maria Salerno for Bianca Baykam

We produce in Italy, in the goldsmith district of Arezzo, 925 silver/18kt gold plated jewelry and the features that distinguish us are simplicity and continuous research in the combination of semi-precious stones of various shapes and colors.

Sartoria nomade
For many years both have worked in the fashion world, Flora as a designer and Mirta as a stylist. This project comes from the desire to return to a slower, more sustainable fashion, done with more care, dedicating a lot of time to research.

Only a very few items are produced and slowly, in a small artisanal workshop: beautiful things take time!

For this reasons Sergio Amaranti style is unmistakable: so refined, so personal shoes that you can’t wait to put them on your feet!
Claudia Antichi for Emmy boo
This is the phrase that has been repeated to me since I was a child. I have always lived with the constant need to do and to design. Growing up in a city like Catania, slow and frantic at the same time, I absorbed the vibrant passion of creating combined with the calm in enjoying the small daily pleasures. My passion for art and my studies in Architecture are brought together in my most exciting project: Emmy Boo. With Emmy Boo I tell a story of experiences and emotions: from the vibrant colours of the Aeolian Islands, the islands of my heart, to the refined elegance that I can extrapolated from my land, thus the harmonious forms of the Emmy Boo “projects” are born. In each piece there is an experience that makes it more than just an accessory. I believe this is the true essence of slow fashion: not only quality, but products that have value beyond the materialistic one.
Cristiana for Dromo Milano
So I attended pattern making and tailoring courses and I started drawing models again as I did as a girl, rediscovering the usual passion for fashion and the research of fabrics. In the course of my previous work, I have often noticed that women are inclined to wear male-style clothes in the workplace, such as trouser suits, and to leave out the use of colors. This occurs particularly frequently in male-dominated environments, often for reasons of "credibility". This situation led me to reflect on the conditioning that the environment can have on behavior and on the need to interrupt this circle, inviting women to express their personality also through clothes. Dromo Milano was born from these reflections. The word that derives from the Greek and indicates movement ("place where you run"), in the marine language refers, instead, to a natural or artificial element present on the coast that is used as a reference point by sailors. And Milan is my city. It is with this spirit that Dromo Milano represents an invitation to women not to give up the expression of their personality and makes the feminine garment par excellence - the skirt - a point of reference. Dromo Milano garments are high quality products, made entirely in Italy with fine fabrics, mostly natural, from different countries of the world that represent the places of production excellence of each of them. My goal is to create garments that last over time and that enhance every type of physicality.
Mara Cividini for Bali 1987
How Bali 1987 was born As often happens, ideas are born by chance. One Saturday morning Mara sends her friend Leila (in the field of jewelry since 1987) the photo of her outfit for the previous evening's dinner: Versace skirt and a set of Leila Bali bracelet and earrings from 12-13 years earlier, in yellow gold and with a pattern that seemed to echo the classic Versace pattern exactly. The caption: “the great classics never set”. Hence the inspiration: why not reopen the historical archives that have been closed for years and obtain jewels that have been updated in terms of materials and shapes? Less demanding pieces, even from an economic point of view (times have changed since the 80s and 90s!) But always and strictly handcrafted and made in Italy. Thus, under the stylistic guidance of Leila, Mara founded the new Bali 1987 brand. The Biography of Mara Cividini Entrepreneur in the real estate field for about fifteen years and graduated in architecture, after graduation she spent a few months in Los Angeles and began to approach the world of contemporary art, which she began studying the following year in London at Christie's auction house , refining the sense of beauty and international taste. She is married and mother of two wonderful boys.
