How is your relationship with the local context?
The municipality always helped us to promote our projects.
In 2015 we colaborated with Le Costantine foundation, giving a one year long class, thanks to European funds. The same year we created a hats collection together with Doria1905 – a local famous hat producer – presented at Pitti Uomo 2015. Finally our drawings also appear in a coffee bar chain, here in Salento regione, printed on lamps, mirrors and counters.

Are you working on new projects for the next few months?
We have just ended a colaborationg on a needle lace bustier, for a thesis for a Master in underweare and wedding dresses design at Istituto Secoli, a famous school of fashion advanced training in Milan
In the next few months we will work on decor acessories.
