Using fun textiles, trendy and practical design, the mother/daughter team of Tu.Tino, Federica Lazza and Nicoletta Della Gatta, were a hit at WHITE:Milano.  This summery collection was made by
hand with the care and passion of these two designers.  The energetic and heartening duo
attracted all kinds of attention taking the time to speak to each and every person
about their effervescent collection.  It was so nice to meet them and I cannot wait to see the talent and fun of Tu.Tino come to New York!

One of the amazing benefits of studying abroad through Fashion Institute of Technology is visiting exclusive trade shows. For a young designers, visiting trade shows is an inspiring experience
 offering the ability to speak with and learn from people within the fashion industry. 

One year ago, during a class trip to Milan, Italy, we visited the world famous women's wear show, WHITE: Milano. This year, I was lucky enough to return to the three day event, spending
 the few hours we had speaking to designers, marketing personnel, stylists, and brand
representatives. The show was filled with artistic displays in order to showcase
the designer's collection to prospective buyers, bloggers, and others within the industry. Students have the ability to learn about the creative process of each designer, view how each brand is represented, and leave with invaluable words of wisdom.

I want to dedicate the next few blog entries to showcase my favorite collections and incredible talent of the designers I met at WHITE: Milano.
