Over 300 participants at Palazzo Gondi for The Art of Tailoring & Craftmanship – A Global Dialogue. Among the protagonists Stefano Ricci and the Le Mani association.
The artisanal excellence of menswear met in Florence last night for the final event of the first edition of The Art of Tailoring & Craftmanship – A Global Dialogue. The initiative, promoted by the Le Mani Association of Naples, was born with the aim of enhancing global men’s tailoring, bringing together the tailoring ecosystem. In fact, the main players in the sartorial system met at the meeting at Palazzo Gondi, from artisans to tailors, as well as fabric and wool manufacturers, including Brunello Fodere, Carnet, Fratelli Tallia di Delfino and Piacenza 1733. In detail, the event consisted of exhibitions and talks on the state of the sector and on the opportunities linked to emerging markets such as Moldova, with which a cultural cooperation protocol was signed. But above all it was the themes linked to territorial tailoring, to the value of the Italian manufacturing identity, that were central with the interventions of Stefano Ricci and Antonio Liverano. “We have written a small page of history”, explained Giancarlo Maresca and Annunziato Damiano, respectively president and general director of the Neapolitan association, “From tomorrow we will return to our shops, our laboratories, our companies. But we will bring with us a new awareness: that of belonging to a community that preserves the past and builds the future”. Among the participants were also Antonio De Matteis, president of Pitti Uomo, Marchesa Gondi and Lorenzo Becattini, president of Firenze Fiera, who reiterated his desire to work so that the project finds an increasingly central place in the international calendar of fashion and craftsmanship.
