Schools have been among the first institutions to adapt to the new measures of quarantine. What are the pros and cons of online classes?
My Institute immediately started to give us online classes, despite the difficulties in converting into a new online form a course of study that is practical by its very nature. For sure, the lack of physical interaction between students and professors and their materials has been a huge obstacle. On a positive note, since I don't have to take any public service to go to school I gained some time: following my classes from my own room and in complete isolation, helped me to focus on what I am learning.
The Fashion and Design Industries have been aggressively afflicted by the COVID-19 emergency. As a consumer, but also as a future insider of those systems, what will be the worst consequences of this crisis?
I think that people will become more and more careful about the products that will buy: maybe we will buy less, and our choices will be not just aesthetics but also ethical. The industry will have to satisfy this need.
Your work is built on creativity. Where do you find your inspiration in this moment?
It is a fluctuating time for any creative industry: there are moments full of reflections and some others when the reality surrounding us becomes too heavy and it is hard to carry on. Instead of get my inspiration from exterior elements, I started back from my inner self, from an investigation of what I feel and I never even noticed: the results are going to be very different from what I was used to.
