I am in Prato, Italy working on my new Marc Ecko Fall 2009 Collection
Oct 2, 2008 at 9:00 AM This is why I love what I do. Everytime I get to be close to where the sewing is taking place I get a charge. This is video footage of one of my tailors, Francesco.
I am in Prato, Italy this week working on my Fall 2009 collection. Francesco is the real deal Holyfield. He has been sewing for over 45 years. The are images of some suits I am making for myself and fit samples for new styles. Since I have such ease of access to sampling, I will often throw in the development of some stuff for me-- to wear out, immediately, IN SEASON and see if people comment and like or ignore. If they like it and I do not advertise that it is custom, I will often make it the next season in my collection. It is a strong way to get a temperature check. Prato is known for all it's sewing and fashion manufacturing. There is also a ton of great leather shoe, accesories and outerwear makers here. We are really close to Florence. The food and wine is amazing.
