The most sustainable garment of all? The tailored one, made to measure to last a lifetime. As such, it requires a slow and difficult process which, however, will be greatly rewarding. A denim jacket by Troficolor Denim Makers starts out by taking measurements and even a jersey piece by Brugnoli can present its own problems, though the end result will be excellent. A Tex Athenea fabric waits in a box to be transformed into a pair of palazzo pants. Nothing is as personal as a unique garment, so a pair of shorts in Eusebio jersey makes a great gift for a sporty friend. Soft hand-knitted pieces inspire the jersey wool fabric by Manifattura di Carmignano while Aurifil’s coloured yarns are still threaded in the needles from the last sewing job. Waste fabric can be used for minor customisations, Sitip’s offcuts make a roaring start, and the remnants of Mario Cambi’s leopard fabric can be turned into beautiful clutches for friends. The best results must be tried and tested. After checking that the pattern is right, the first cuts can be made in Albini 1876’s fabric. A range of textures and materials fill the studio of a dressmaker busy with a special piece to be completed with a fabric by Iluna Group - Maglificio Ripa. Clothes made to be timeless, because they are made with genuine care and craftsmanship.
