What is the origin of your love for knitwear?
I was born in the world of knitwear. Like all those who have experienced family-run businesses, I grew up among the joy and pain of this activity and have learnt to love it. I developed a great interest in the softness of yarns and the beauty of colour shades. After many years, I still get excited when I see my collection turning into reality..

What is your source of inspiration when you are developing a new collection?
Life, real daily life. I believe that, in order to be successful, a knitwear collection must be present during every moment of the day, be versatile, capable of changing according to one’s needs. Of course, experience, creativity, passion, taste for colours and shapes are necessary. Real elegance is made of quality, stylistic research and simplicity.

What is the contribution given to your work by your thorough knowledge of raw materials and processing techniques?
An overall understanding of the creative and productive process is undoubtedly of great help. The problem is transferring an idea into a tangible object by using “live” materials. Each yarn reacts in a different way and this must be taken into account if the item to be produced is to reflect the personality of the person who wears it.
