Secoli in Numbers
"Fashion is a bridge between communities, ideas, the past, and the future. At Istituto Secoli, I found the place to refine my technique and transform my creative vision into garments capable of telling a story."
"Driven by the desire to turn her passion for fashion into a profession, in 2019 she chose Istituto Secoli, where a three-year course provided her with comprehensive training, guiding her toward the world of tailoring and prototyping."
"Consistency, tenacity, and passion are the fundamental ingredients that have allowed me to get this far, along with the ambition to never settle. I believe it is important to always listen to yourself and have the courage to make choices that allow you to work toward fulfilling yourself and your dream."
"Studying at Istituto Secoli was my dream from the moment I heard about it at my first university. The fact that there was a school with the exact training I wanted, pattern making, made my choice so easy that once I graduated, two days later I was already in class for the Master's course."
"The experience at Loro Piana has been a constant professional and personal evolution, characterized by experiences that have enriched both my skills and my vision of the world."
"I chose Istituto Secoli because, after my first year in Italy, when I understood the fundamental importance of mastering pattern making, I explored other schools, but Secoli stood out as a serious and rigorous institution, and I had no doubt in my decision."
From the family plumbing and heating business to Hugo Boss shirts: a story of reinvention, artisanal passion, and determination cultivated at Istituto Secoli.
"The technical-scientific training at Istituto Secoli provided me with the foundation to shape the geometries that I create today, collection after collection; a daily perspective aimed at perceiving the entropy that surrounds me."
