Those who follow me on social media may have read how hard March has been for me to pull myself together after the war broke out in Ukraine. Watching human tragedy unfold in front of our eyes is inexplicably painful. Thru the suffering one realizes that there is not much power in the hands of individuals like us except making conscious choices every day. Sometimes it feels like the most sensible choice is just to put blinders on, focus on work that creates beauty to stay sane &#8211; which I do &#8211; with friends that I am blessed to have who also helped me discover Antonio. Time and again, I find this blog to be a cozy nest for me to retreat in times of confusion and despapir.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when the world seems to be swept by mass physhosis, it was so refreshing to discover Antonio. In the environment of homogenized thoughts and actions, it really felt good to talk in depth with someone who had a different take on things and courage to talk openly. Not all the conversation is published here:-)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, I am sharing my impression of him in a phrase &#8211; he is the voice of authencity and enduring quality not tainted by marketing slogans and fads. His architectural creations are here to stay, not to dazzle eyes with ephemeral glow and fade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not miss his description of his clientele:-) Some powerful stuff \ud83d\ude42 If you feel like you are one of the types he describes, then Antonio is the fashion guru for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found his prices surprisingly affordable too. Check it out for yourselves.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/category\/aqa\/\"><em>Discover authentic creatives at AQA Series<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.40373%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Antonio-Martino-20201798-1-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Antonio-Martino-20201798-1-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=709&#038;ssl=1 709w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"945\" data-id=\"2290\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/?attachment_id=2290\" data-url=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Antonio-Martino-20201798-1-2.jpg\" data-width=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Antonio-Martino-20201798-1-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.59627%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Metropolitan-Couture-33.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Metropolitan-Couture-33.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=640&#038;ssl=1 640w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"427\" data-id=\"2293\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/?attachment_id=2293\" data-url=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Metropolitan-Couture-33.jpg\" data-width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Metropolitan-Couture-33.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.36995%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Metropolitan-Couture-30.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=404&#038;ssl=1 404w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"605\" data-id=\"2292\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/?attachment_id=2292\" data-url=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Metropolitan-Couture-30.jpg\" data-width=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Metropolitan-Couture-30.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.31502%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AntonioMartino_127small.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=480&#038;ssl=1 480w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"720\" data-id=\"2296\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/?attachment_id=2296\" data-url=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AntonioMartino_127small.jpg\" data-width=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AntonioMartino_127small.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.31502%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Antonio-Martino-20201923.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=532&#038;ssl=1 532w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"798\" data-id=\"2291\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/?attachment_id=2291\" data-url=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Antonio-Martino-20201923.jpg\" data-width=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/fashionsymbols.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Antonio-Martino-20201923.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-did-you-discover-your-passion-for-jewellery\"><strong>What is fashion for Antonio<\/strong>?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fashion for me is life itself. It is a bit of like breathing. I don\u2019t remember my life when fashion wasn\u2019t part of it. Maybe I was around 3 years old when I started to help my mother to do things with needle. My mother used to do embroidery work and my aunt was somehow involved in fashion. In some way I\u2019ve been with fashion from early on. Yet, sincerely, really never inside the fashion world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CcflfXWDP4t\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It was a feat to convince my parents. I came with my brother. In Rome, we were lucky to meet a woman from Napoli who really mothered us, hosted us and I grew up with her here. After graduation I was supposed to study either in Milan or Rome. But it was hard on my parents to maintain the expenses for both my brother and me. So I attended a small school to learn the technical skills for garment building. With that it took off. In the beginning I didn\u2019t do design, started with technical work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-do-you-draw-your-inspirations-from\">Maybe someone you looked up to or now you think is your idol?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With years one grows and changes. At the moment Armani is the one who I\u2019d like to be. He is a type that has managed to follow his passion, build an empire and built it intelligently. I believe one also needs to have a stroke of luck. Besides he has a taste and style that is timeless.&nbsp;Now he is over 80 but still there, still in the front line, still working. To me, he is the king. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CN4Q9l2Dlon\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

In the world of fashion connections are important. First hand recommendation goes a long way. I understand that. Let\u2019s say if I am looking for a seamstress, instead of losing weeks, maybe months for headhunting, shortlisting and interviewing people that I do not know, I go ask around and hire among from recommended candidates. It simplifies the process. So being inside the fashion world makes a big difference. My family or circle didn\u2019t have ties with the fashion world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNb2oEBjOsV\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

But as I said, this was a choice born out of circumstances. Eventually, in 2008, with my then partner we founded Antonio Martino Couture. Since then, now about 14 years, I am heading my own Couture. The early years were very intense, we used to do everything ourselves in an obsolete factory that was outside of Rome. But it had a lot of fabrics, so many other supplies that we needed. Weeks would blend into months \u2013 each week starting Sunday evening with us leaving Rome to the factory and coming back home Friday evening. Yet, I am grateful for those early years and to my then partner, thanks to whom the Couture took off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-materials-do-you-use\">Do your collections follow the regular fashion calendar?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CMB3FXPjDeV\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following fashion calendar requires a different set of infrastructure and series of arrangements. I opt for capsule collections obviously, in line with seasons \u2013 but planned to create events. I opt for creativity \u2013 small collections of fantasy than regular size collections adhered to fashion calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To express my art, creativity is more important to me and this arrangement now allows me to do what I want to do. Let\u2019s say, my objective is not to sell one more jacket, one more coat. The collections serve as pinnacle of creativity, quality and fantasy for me. Timelessness and durability are what I strive for. If I see someone still carry my creation after 10 years, that is my utmost satisfaction \u2013 just thinking that I\u2019ve created something that after 10 years still hasn\u2019t gone out of fashion, didn\u2019t die in seasonal changes, and is not worn out, the quality is there \u2013 I feel I\u2019ve accomplished something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, curious cuts that never go out of fashion are fundamental in my mind. For example, neck of a shirt that I designed had seven different ways to wear. So every time it feels like new to wear the same garment just by arranging the neck differently. It is also fun to have that covert touch. In 2017 a new line was born, which is called Urban Park which is more ready to wear mixed with high fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-wears-rossella-ugolini\">What about now, which path you follow now?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I design to excite, to create splash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CF4URSnjGqN\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I try to follow the trend in general. Let\u2019s say, if bombers are in trend, I do bombers \u2013 but I do it my own way. To put clearly, I do not like to associate myself with somebody else. I never create something that one could say \u2013 oh, this is similar to Balenciaga, Dior etc. I make my own and create my own path. My style should be recognizable and speak for itself. But what we see often times is flattened taste and products. In this homogenized noise having my own voice is important for me. But do everybody see what I\u2019ve created? I am not sure \u2013 that calls for massive marketing campaigns and investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-advice-to-women-on-how-to-wear-jewellery\">Which is more important in this homogenized world \u2013 quality or marketing?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, marketing. Marketing rules. Today fashion is about concept \u2013 let\u2019s say pieces are not remembered for their quality, but collections are remembered for the ambience and set up in which they are presented. Garments matter less. This is sad. People instead of looking fashion as a way to define own individuality, look at it as the means to blend in and flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-craftsmanship-for-you\">What is quality for you?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality is very important. All in all, it is not only about quality of fabric. Everyone can get good quality, expensive fabrics and make a dress. There is nothing wrong about it. For me, quality is about research. Quality is about making something beautiful out of something that doesn\u2019t cost much. From little ideas, small discoveries beautiful things can be born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CJo7oyijIA3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The material was a blue net used as construction material inside houses, over the walls. I used it voluminously matching it with leather to create that trench. The final product is impossible to miss, it is exaggerated, voluminous, yet the base cost is pennies. The originality of idea matters. If one is void of ideas, the easy path is to follow the ideas of others and the trend of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-most-important-quality-of-an-artisan-goldsmith\">What is the most common challenge that single creatives face in Italy?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All the designers want to get noticed. This is a form of art, an artistic expression. In the homogenized world the most difficult task is to remain true to oneself. The society likes to frame its members. If something is considered cool at certain period, everybody is expected to follow that path. But no. I do not want to join. I want to follow my own path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"i-think-this-is-also-the-case-with-made-in-italy\">Then who is your client base?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t define my clientele based on age. Yet my designs are not for teenagers. I work for  more independent women, mature women. Woman that is self-conscious of her style and her power. A woman that wants to stand out, not blend in. A woman that appreciates quality, curious details, longevity of garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your advice to your students?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I am very strict and demanding to them with a sharp eye to detect the tendency to copy. I guess they see me as their enemy for that. My advice to my students is to always stay informed, yet true to oneself. Learn inside out \u2013 not only theoretically, but also practically \u2013 hands on to understand how to construct a garment. Practice, practice and practice. Success may come unexpectedly, at the moment you expect it least. And if you are not ready for that moment, it goes away instantly just the way it came in. Always strive to build slowly, steadily, something to last. If after 50 years you are remembered even with just one creation, that is already something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Made in Italy for you?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We Italians, regardless many things, are very lucky to be surrounded with so much beauty that we sometimes forget. Everyone refers to his\/her products as Made in Italy because it sells. To me, Made in Italy is more about passion and creativity. Let\u2019s take craftsmanship \u2013 it is easy to find it also in France, in China, elsewhere. The true Made in Italy is about a passion that is more carnal passion, sensorial passion \u2013 one lives it as if it flows thru, a radical phenomenon that one belongs to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know, it Italian we say \u2013 cucinare e cucire \u2013 the same passion applied to different things \u2013 cucinare \u2013 to cook, cucire \u2013 to sew \u2013 always you add your secret ingredient with so much love and affection. We are built like this. I come from south. For us everything happens in the kitchen \u2013 conversations, socializing, laughs and discussions \u2013 mother always cooks in the kitchen and the life revolves in kitchen. To be together at home \u2013 for us in south [Italy] \u2013 it feels like warmth of the sun. For us life is colorful, flavourful \u2013 everything is carnal, not mechanical, not conceptual. For me that is Made in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fashionsymbols.com\/category\/aqa\/\"><em>Discover authentic creatives at AQA Series<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BwEgh0oj5Uv\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
