Development of sewing courses and workshops focused on teaching the art of creating lingerie.
In addition to working as a fashion designer, I teach courses and workshops on lingerie making for my students. The courses were initially conducted offline, but during the pandemic I created an online course that has been successfully running for the past 5 years. I have graduated 700+ students from around the world.
Currently, I am updating and expanding the course, dividing it into two levels: Beginner (post-production, with 30+ lessons, starting in the summer of 2024) and Professional (production, starting in 2025). The courses will be available in English, Italian, and Spanish with subtitles. They aim to teach students how to conceptualize, construct, and sew lingerie of any complexity from scratch.
