Craftsmanship is at the core of Blubianco Milano, a company that invests in monitoring the production chain in order to obtain higher quality standard.
Constant research into new lines, materials and details combined with the professionalism and dedication of the design team are the elements that contribute to the making of a Blubianco collection.
Designed for the contemporary woman who loves to wear garments that reflect her own principles of sobriety and elegance.
Located in Milan, I had the chance to join the team as an intern Assistant Womenswear Designer, and work on SS 2022 collection.

Working with Womenswear designer Giuseppe Campanella I had the opportunity to work on the collection sketches: working on a hand-drawn first draft that would then be digitalised on Photoshop.
After each fitting session small adjustments could be made to the sketches in their development process, adding details and specific accessories.
As the material and details packages consolidated and I would move to coloring and fabric rendering on the sketches. The finished sketches were then included in the collection book for the buyers.

For the development of prints I was first briefed on the collection references and inspiration and following that I started working on a few proposals that could fit into the different color worlds of the collection.
Each print was put through mock testing to tweak proportion and details. Along with the few collection styles in printed material we developed silk scarfs to complete the offer.

The last and final steps I was able to work on during my internship were the launch and presentation of the collection.
With the final rounds of fitting done we managed the collection samples from supplier in the approved material and colors.
Gathering all the rendered sketches together with each material composition, colorways and fabric samples I assambled the collection books.
Prior to the showroom presentation I had the opportunity to assist on the set of the shooting for the lookbook and editorial pictures for the SS 2022 collection.
