Sportswear inspired femininity by Claudia Ligari

 Designer Claudia Ligari

- Describe yourself as a designer and as a person. What are the differences between both descriptions?

- I’m the same person but when I’m working on a collection I tend to be more dreamy or scatty and I don’t give any space or time for the person to be.  It’s difficult to say where the person finishes and the designer starts. I have a strong personality and I’m very independent and those two things are perfect for the designer but not so good for the person! Once the designer start it’s difficult to stop and most of the time it causes pain to the person and makes you wonder on which side you really want to be. It’s a very fine line; the game is to learn how to balance the two.

Craking the menswear boundaries - Julian Zigerli

 Designer Julian Zigerli

- Describe yourself as a designer and as a person. What is the main difference between both descriptions?

- My job is my life and the other way around. I don’t have the luxury to split in two. But that is okay since my work is very personal. It goes hand in hand with who I am. But there is still a main difference. One Julian Zigerli is a real person who cares about the good things in life. The other one is still “just” work.

The successful growth of Comeforbreakfast

 Behind the label:  sales manager Francesco and designer Antonio

- What is the story behind the brand’s name and does it have a special personal meaning for you?

- We didn’t need long meetings to decide a name for our project: it was very natural and spontaneous. Breakfast is a very important moment in our day, a moment we share with the ones we love the most, friends and co-workers. The meal we mostly love to eat. It is the moment we enjoy but at the same time the moment we take important decisions in our brand’s organization. We met and decided to build our brand during one of these long business breakfasts and so we decided to match our passion for fashion and our passion for breakfast.
