Meeting L.Loffreda

Last Saturday, at design library, I had a interesting chitchat with Ludovico Loffreda, who presented his collection during the past Milan Fashion Week.

We spoke about his last work, his new project for the coming Salone del Mobile, and his idea about fashion. Actually he is a really active and a versatile designer.
His interests do not cover just the fashion field, even if he has a deeply knowledge about it; but he loves to know and understand human being and the society where they are living.

JieQi Ren

JieQi Ren is a menswear fashion designer.

"I love everything about men fashion; my goal is to make a men look as sexy and sleek as possible […] and it is challenging because men are so picky at what they would and would not wear".

In the design field everyone can and does something different, and Ren chooses this field to discover, by making, what design means to him.

Santo Spada

The fashion week in Milan is over, and during the last day, February 28th, in the scenic spot of Castello Sforzesco, the designers of New Generation showcased their ideal women for the coming F/W 2013. 

Santo Sapda was one of them.

Since his teenager hood, Santo worked in the atelier of Saint Crispino Couture, where he learned all the fine techniques of stitching, sawing and draping.

As well she was always found in drawing and making textures on paper; and pattern and women wear are her specialties.
