Designer to Watch with the collection “NEL TUO TEMPO“
The women’s/men’s capsule collection “Nel tuo tempo” features Eric, a kind, empathetic boy with a deep imagination. His reserved nature acts as a shield to protect his sensitivity; however, his sensitive nature and more feminine traits lead to conflict with his peers, as he falls victim to judgments based on gender stereotypes, causing him to feel lost. Eric also deals with a learning disability, which makes processing information more difficult, but at the same time gives him extraordinary creativity. This characteristic influences his social life, allowing him to develop a unique talent and a special sensitivity. Indeed, Eric begins a journey of self-discovery and awareness, reconciling his inner world with external reality. Music, a metaphor for his growth, becomes a tool for personal expression. The collection highlights not only Eric’s resilience but represents a social critique of conformism, inviting families to support their children by recognizing diversity.
