These specialized crafts are a very important part of the &#8220;culture&#8221; of product development, essential to compete with distinction\u00a0(and not in prices). \u00a0Guaranteeing them carries with it competitive logic, not only in creating jobs. \u00a0The knowledge that was passed down from parent to child or that was learned in the workshops, where work began at an early age, is no longer the way in which young people acquire the skills of the trade. \u00a0\u00a0And by saying that\u00a0I don&#8217;t intend to go backwards, seeking to enlist\u00a0teenagers to pick up pins from the floor as the great Mme. Lanvin did. \u00a0But the problem is that right now, if a luxury fashion company wants to hire an expert embroiderer, it is likely they might have to search abroad. In Switzerland, for example.<\/p>\n<p>The boys and girls that complete\u00a0their professional training\u00a0with a degree related to the textile sector obviously lack the necessary experience, and it is very difficult for them to obtain\u00a0it as there are few places where they can become acquainted with it. \u00a0This is where we find ourselves. \u00a0Therefore, everyone involved in the issue should think -and act- to improve the education of our youth, and, over time, the great French, English, American or Italian ateliers may come to our country to find the best petites mains in the world. \u00a0We&#8217;ll have to start picking up pins\u2026At ACME, we are applying ourselves to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve just read in an article by Charo Mora about Jeanne Lanvin and\u00a0how the latter started working in the fashion world as an &#8220;arpette&#8221;, i.e., an apprentice in charge of collecting the pins at\u00a0couture ateliers. \u00a0I am not about to use this example to talk now about how the designers of the 21st\u00a0century should learn [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":83264,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1163],"tags":[355,1475],"class_list":["post-24775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-news","tag-sybilla","tag-sybilla-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
