SabrinAtelier

"High handicraft, atelier, custom-made tailoring, couture, bridal, theater, historical costume, and teaching -other than exclusively Made in Italy- are all expressions that enclose what distinguish me the most.
Curiosity, creativity, perseverance complete the picture."

I'm multifaceted, very curious and I love to find unusual, creative solutions in everything I do.
I started as patternmaker because in my city, Pisa, there were no such institutes as fashion design schools but throughout the years I have become more than that. Mine is much more than the passion of transforming fabric into clothes: is one of my greatest life reasons, together with teaching.
It's hard to say who I am, professionally speaking: I identify myself as an artisan of fashion and costume in all their expressions who - besides crafting clothes in her own Atelier- teaches with dedication how to make them, in several fashion institutes in Florence and in Pisa.
All of the below are sides of me:
My training in Haute Couture and Theatrical Costume tailoring allow me to conceive unique, unrepeatable, high-end dresses, made with techniques which nowadays can be found in high fashion only;
My work in theater allows me to take care of Historical Costume, being able to decide if it's the case to follow a philological approach or rather a more spectacular, inventive one;
My many-year experience in teaching allows me to give and take the most out of what I pass down and, above all, gives me the opportunity to keep me updated, to learn and to evolve constantly;
But, above all, is my curiosity which allows me to try my hand at developing even more creative projects, freer from the Haute Couture codes, so I paint t-shirts, make handbags, create with jersey, and devote myself to rigorously custom-made day dresses.
These voices may appear in contrast and contradiction in a time when High Fashion and Ready to Wear seem to be two worlds apart.
This is the reason why I simply identify myself as a curious artisan whom loves to create with perseverance and so much passion.

SabrinAtelier
Was established in 2013 in Pisa, my hometown.
It's not a brand as you would classically think of: it's an imprint that I use to leave on all my creations.
I may change codes, customers, executive techniques, but the philisophy behind each of my creations remains the same: anything I create in the Atelier – my professional abode- is hand made in Italy with accurately selected matarials and, above all, it's not serially- made.
