When The Italian Collection came to be more than 10 years ago, well-known stylist Antonio d’Amico was there as our guide, our chaperone, and our confidante.
He brought us his elegant stylist vision, his know-how, and his immense knowledge of high-quality fashion; all of which he had honed in his long-term experience working for several iconic, ready-to-wear, and high-end Italian brands. But, above all, Antonio shared with us the passion and enthusiasm he always brought to his work.
Today our beloved Antonio is no longer on this earth, but he is present in all our selected products and collections, in the mood of every photoshoot, and in our attention to detail. His words resonate, daily, in everything we do:
“Every woman wants to feel beautiful. Elegant, and always contemporary. Would you wear what you are choosing for your clients? And how would you wear them?”
His wisdom helps us reflect on every decision because in the frenetic online world where The Italian Collection resides and where we are at the mercy of algorithms, it becomes imperative that the human component is given its space.
Antonio’s attention to the “human form” was at the heart of his work. He knew that the quality and style of a garment or an accessory could bring forth a woman’s unique style and add value to her fashion sense and presence like a secret ingredient.
Dearest friend, these are the teachings for which we shall be eternally grateful. They shall be the light that guides our ongoing journey of becoming the champions of Designed in Italy. Handmade in Italy.
Thank you, Antonio! We miss you.
With love,
Cristina and Myriam
