Many people who have achieved great success in architectural, construction, and design activities believe that their childhood interest in such activities influenced their career choices. In this article, we will look at toys and activities that are designed to foster creativity. However, we will examine them through the lens of art and architecture, rather than simply as toys.

Big things start small

The most well-known toy among the vast array of toys based on the construction of various figures is the ordinary pyramid. Every child is familiar with the simplest pyramid design, which can always be found even in the arsenal of the most modern and expensive toys.

This is because, despite its simplicity, this toy is universal. It can pique the interest of any child, from a baby just learning to crawl to a pre-schooler. And how many games can you make out of a pyramid? It’s all up to your imagination.

Let’s look at what useful properties an ordinary pyramid has:

  • Movement coordination is developed through mechanical assembly actions;
  • Enhancement of spatial thinking through element analysis;
  • The need to correctly compose the structure’s parts requires the development of logical thinking;
  • Enhancement of colour perception, if the pyramid is made up of different coloured parts (which it usually is).

Consider how a primitive toy fosters other qualities, such as creativity and a sense of taste. What elements of creativity do you see in this seemingly ordinary pyramid? Everything is up to your imagination, because the pyramid, for example, can be assembled in ways other than those originally envisioned. It can be assembled in a different order, for example, resulting in an unusual figure with shapes similar to modern architectural solutions. This is how creativity is born.

The child develops another quality, namely a sense of taste, by constantly evaluating their results during the experimentation process. It is possible to teach a child to think creatively and to push the boundaries of the ordinary by encouraging such experiments and keeping the child interested in new ideas.

How to obtain more

There are many more options for educational toys than just pyramids in the modern world. There are advanced wooden toys that are not only more environmentally friendly and safer than their plastic counterparts, but can also provide the child with pleasant tactile sensations. By clicking the link, you can see that there are even entire architectural sets designed specifically to help children develop their design skills.

Truly, the toys’ list is just amazing. Additionally, you will learn how distinct the toys look based on the type and design. Some are made up of different small units and these while some are huge and come with few elements. Different types of thinking can be developed through these toys, and hence you need different varieties of the toys to help a child have different motor skills, motor coordination as well as logical and spatial thinking.

The best ways to foster creativity

There are proven methods that are guaranteed to improve your child’s abilities while also allowing you to express yourself creatively: these are toys based on design and art principles. Your little architect will enjoy making things, especially if you provide the proper motivation.

The following are some toys and activities that will help your child’s creative abilities:

Constructors

Ordinary building kits made of plastic, wood, or other materials. You don’t need a complex toy that will confuse your child. You can begin with relatively simple solutions. The main thing is to arouse interest in this kind of activity.

Drawing

Probably the most effective way to foster a child’s creative potential. As an option, you can concentrate the baby’s attention on elements of the environment or architectural features of familiar places. You could, for example, request that he draw his house or the school he attends.

Puzzles

Puzzles are also a great toy for encouraging creativity. Puzzles necessitate concentration and patience. They teach the child the ability to think rationally and consistently. This is also an excellent way to improve logical reasoning and fine motor skills.

Kinetic sand and plasticine

Another excellent way to foster your child’s creativity. Playing with kinetic sand or plasticine is not only entertaining but also extremely beneficial because this type of activity develops multiple skills at once, including fine motor skills.

Busy boards

The activity is more about developing logical thinking, but such toys aid in quickly learning the principles of various mechanisms and drawing the child’s attention to them. A child may develop a desire to invent new mechanisms or combine existing ones after analysing the principles of operation of some of them. It is critical to encourage such ideas because they are a clear indication of creative thinking.

Conclusion

When your child grows up and becomes a well-known architect or artist, don’t forget to tell him about your teaching methods and how you achieved such results. Education and training, like painting, are forms of art. You build your baby’s future with your own hands, just as an architect does with a building. And how beautiful and strong this “building” turns out is entirely up to you. The more involved you are in your child’s creative development, the more prosperous and happy his life will be in the end.

If you’re considering getting Botox, you’ve likely weighed the pros and cons of such a big decision. There are numerous myths surrounding Botox treatments today. That’s why it’s essential to know the facts before taking the plunge.

In this blog post, we list five things everyone should understand about receiving Botox, from how long it lasts to potential risks associated with treatment and how it can improve self-confidence.

Whether this is your first foray into cosmetic injections or if you’re an experienced botulinum toxin user looking for some helpful tips and tricks, read on.

1.    It’s Not Just for Celebrities

When it first hit the scene, Botox was reserved for Hollywood’s elite. However, these days,, it’s becoming increasingly popular among the general population due to its accessibility and affordability. The procedure is sometimes called the “lunchtime” procedure because of how quickly it can be done.

To qualify for the treatment, you must be 18 years or older and have realistic expectations of the results. You may also need to provide your doctor with a medical history and any relevant information about previous treatments. The next time you think about popping your pimples, remember that Botox can do more than just smooth wrinkles.

2.    It’s Not Permanent

One of the most common misconceptions about Botox is that it’s permanent when it lasts anywhere from three to six months, depending on the individual. If you’re still undecided, think twice before committing to such a long-lasting treatment.

It’s essential to keep in mind that the effects of Botox may fade over time, but it won’t necessarily wear off entirely right away. Your doctor can help you determine how often you should receive treatments and how long they will last for maximum benefit.

3.    It’s Not Just for Frown Lines

Botox is most popularly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and forehead. However, you can also use it to treat other issues like excessive sweating associated with hot flashes during menopause, chronic migraine headaches, and even some muscular disorders.

Your doctor can provide more information about what type of treatment and how much of it would be appropriate for your individual needs. The most important thing is to research and find a doctor with experience with this type of procedure. That way, you can ensure that the treatment will be safe, effective, and meet your expectations.

4.    It’s Not Painful

Botox treatments are considered relatively painless, especially compared to other medical procedures. Some people may experience slight discomfort during the injection, but this is usually minimal. The procedure typically takes less than 20 minutes, and most people resume their normal activities immediately afterward. Your doctor will likely provide you with aftercare instructions, so follow them closely for optimal results. If you develop any symptoms of discomfort after the treatment, consult your doctor immediately.

5.    You Should Get It Done By a Professional

It’s always best to get Botox treatments done by a certified professional. A qualified specialist can provide you with the right treatment plan and ensure that it is administered safely and correctly.

When choosing your provider, check for credentials such as board certification and advanced training. A clinic for Botox has highly experienced and certified providers available to provide Botox treatments in a safe and professional environment. You can also comfort yourself knowing you’re getting the best care and results possible.

Whether you’re looking to treat wrinkles, reduce excessive sweating, or get a more youthful appearance without going under the knife, then Botox may be right for you. Just remember to do your research, talk to a qualified specialist, and take their advice to get the most out of your treatment.

Liposuction can be performed on various body parts, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, back, neck, and chin.

There are different techniques used in liposuction, such as traditional liposuction, tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and laser-assisted liposuction (LAL). These techniques may vary in the way they break up the fat cells before removal.

A dazzling smile can light up a room and boost your confidence. If you are looking to enhance the radiance of your pearly whites, professional tooth whitening could be the perfect solution.

In this post, we’ll explore the various advantages that come with opting for professional teeth whitening treatments. Say goodbye to stained teeth and hello to a brighter, more vibrant smile!

Understanding Dental Discoloration

Dental discoloration can be caused by various factors such as extrinsic staining from environmental factors and intrinsic staining from age, decay, or medication. Extrinsic stains are caused by environmental factors like smoking, pigments in beverages and foods, antibiotics, and metals. Tannin in coffee, tea, and red wine can also result in tooth discoloration.

Proper oral hygiene practices can help prevent extrinsic staining, while exposure to metallic compounds can lead to permanent tooth discoloration. Intrinsic stains, caused by factors such as age yellowing and tetracycline stain, cannot be removed through regular cleaning and require tooth whitening techniques.

Professional Expertise for Optimal Results

When it comes to teeth whitening, the cosmetic dentistry expertise of a dental professional can make all the difference. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional treatments such as those offered at Martina Collins are performed under the guidance of experienced dentists. They have the knowledge and skills to assess your unique dental needs and recommend the most suitable whitening approach.

Safe and Effective Treatment

Professional tooth whitening treatments prioritise both safety and effectiveness. Dentists use proven methods and high-quality whitening agents that are carefully formulated to provide optimal results while minimising the risk of damage to your teeth and gums. The process is safe, with the dentist closely monitoring your progress to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Customised to Your Needs

Everyone’s teeth are unique, and that’s why teeth whitening treatments are tailored to suit your specific requirements. Dentists consider factors like the current shade of your teeth, the level of discolouration, and your desired outcome. By customising the treatment, they can achieve a natural-looking, even result that complements your overall appearance. Whether you are aiming for a subtle enhancement or a dazzling Hollywood smile, professional teeth whitening can be personalised just for you.

Long-Lasting Results

One of the most significant advantages of professional whitening is the longevity of the results. Unlike temporary whitening solutions, such as whitening toothpaste or strips, professional treatments deliver more profound and longer-lasting effects. The dentist’s expertise ensures that the whitening agent reaches deep into the enamel, effectively lifting stubborn stains. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy your bright, white smile for months or even years to come.

Maintaining the results of whiter teeth requires consistent oral hygiene practices and lifestyle adjustments. Regular brushing with a whitening toothpaste and flossing can help remove surface stains and maintain the whitened appearance. Avoiding staining substances such as coffee, tea, and tobacco can also contribute to long-term effects.

Enhanced Self Confidence with a Brighter Smile

A beautiful smile can have a profound impact on your self-confidence. Professional tooth whitening can give you the boost you need to feel more comfortable and prouder of your teeth. Whether you’re attending a job interview, going on a date, or simply socialising with friends, a dazzling smile can help you make a positive first impression. With increased self-assurance, you’ll find yourself smiling more freely, radiating positivity and happiness.

Improved Oral Hygiene Awareness

Undergoing professional tooth whitening can also have a positive impact on your overall oral hygiene routine. As you invest in the appearance of your teeth, you become more conscious of maintaining their newfound brightness. This heightened awareness often leads to improved oral hygiene habits, like regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.

Maintaining good oral health is essential for preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Regular dental check-ups are crucial in detecting and addressing any oral health issues early on. Professional teeth cleaning performed by dental professionals can effectively remove plaque and tartar build-up, reducing the risk of dental problems. Good oral hygiene practices can help maintain fresh breath and improve our general health.

The Science Behind Tooth Whitening

The process of tooth whitening involves the use of hydrogen peroxide, which acts as an oxidizing agent that breaks down to produce unstable free radicals that attach to organic pigment molecules, resulting in a whitening effect.

This chemical reaction targets both intrinsic and extrinsic stains on the tooth enamel. The enamel structure plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of the whitening process, as it determines the tooth shade and mineral content.

The concentration of peroxide used in the whitening products is also a key factor in achieving optimal results. Accurate tooth shade analysis is essential for dental professionals to determine the type, intensity, and location of tooth discoloration and provide the most effective tooth whitening treatment.

Today, the world of investments offers numerous alluring options. However, the profitability of an investment greatly depends on the correct choice of prime location. In the financial world, experts consider the real estate market the most stable tool for saving and increasing capital. Property and property values are rarely affected by most economic fluctuations and political issues.

For many years, Phuket, the largest island in Thailand, South East Asia has remained a beneficial location for property investors who are buying permanent living and leasing real estate. Before looking for variants to buy apartments in Phuket for foreigners, it is vital to become aware of the benefits obtained by homeowners.

Phuket Is A Prestigious And Sought After Destination

Phuket, Thailand is a big island with a distance from Bangkok of 690 km, 45 minutes by plane or 14 hours by car. Undoubtedly, it is an incredibly beautiful place, but you need to evaluate the distance from the capital and the main airport, Suvarnaphum. Moreover, the cost of living on the island – gasoline and restaurant prices are substantially higher than on the mainland. This is because almost all products, building materials, and fuel are delivered from the central and northern parts of the country.

Real Estate For Foreign Investors In Phuket

Phuket in Thailand is not only a place for comfortable vacations but also a place where foreign investors can benefit from their investments. Foreign buyers can resell the property at a higher price or rent it out and receive guaranteed rental returns.

Apartments in Phuket are diverse to meet buyers’ various needs and budgets. Here you can easily investment in a home depending on the number of family members, desired square footage and design. Annual visitors to Thailand prefer to stay on the island for many reasons. They prefer to rent entire villas and apartments. Property owners and landlords earn good rental income from tourists and its booming real estate market. Besides, foreign investors are very likely to buy an inexpensive apartment and come there to rest or live permanently.

Benefits Of Buying An Apartment In Phuket

The purchase of residential real estate on the island of Phuket can be a great investment opportunity. If you are looking for promising real estate destinations to invest in, here are several reasons why Phuket should be at the top of your list:

  • Owning a property abroad near the sea

Having villas or apartments minutes walk to the sea in Kamala Beach, Rawai Beach or Karon Beach in full ownership is always wise. Whether you are going to live permanently on the island or regularly come for vacations, your own property helps to avoid the constant search for hotels or rental housing.

  • Low cost and abundance of options

Compared with real estate in most coastal cities, Thai property prices are significantly cheaper. For example, a 20-30 square meters apartment in one of the many new developments with renovations and furniture will cost about $70,000. The accommodation will be equipped with elevators, a concierge, a swimming pool and its own fitness centre on the property. The apartment will have Internet and cable TV, which are often included in the maintenance costs of the residential complex.

  • The possibility of renting

Residential property is in high demand and can be rented out, and the owner can see it generating higher rental yields. If you plan to rent your property, it makes sense to sign a contract with a management company so they monitor the condition of the apartment and pay utility bills and taxes.

  • Robust infrastructure

Due to the increasing flow of tourists and beneficial conditions for foreign investments, Phuket and its beaches have evolved into an island with modern infrastructure and well-developed transportation links. Over the past 15 years, the local authorities have introduced multiple dramatic changes.

The infrastructure of Phuket, Thailand as a resort island impresses me. There are numerous hotels for all tastes and wallets, restaurants, bars, large shopping centres, souvenir stores, grocery and clothing markets, banks, nightclubs, discos and entertainment venues. And also Phuket is famous for its fantastic and colourful sunsets.

Conclusion

The above-mentioned and numerous other reasons drive the demand for real estate market investment-worthy housing developments on the island. The valuable web resource Thailand-Real.Estate offers world-class designs and sustainable living concepts set in the island’s most sought-after residential developments. The reasonably priced housing, convenient prime location of the island, and advanced infrastructure make Phuket a profitable place for long-term property investors and a comfortable place to call home.

For the most part, Italian women and men have endless attire style options, from tailored edgy pieces to lose flirty fabrics. Here’s a guide on what to wear during an Italian summer for men.

Summer Shirts

Many people see the collared shirt as boring pieces you must wear under a jacket. To Italian men, shirts and t-shirts allow them to express themselves in many forms, exploring monochromatic colours. As you prepare for the Italian summer, pack a couple of your designer t-shirts to rediscover the meaning of simplicity under an unforgiving Mediterranean sun.

It’s crucial to choose high-quality cotton options to help you manage the heat. If you need to look your bougie best while keeping your cool, you can choose simple, high-end t-shirt brands like the R13 Fu Boy T-shirts or a Patou signature T-shirt.

The most sure-fire way to get the best deals on such pieces is to hop from one men’s designer sale to the other. At these sales, you will be able to find fashionable staples at a fraction of the designer costs for top Italian fashion brands. This gives you more staple pieces to wear in Italy.

What To Wear During An Italian Summer
Jackets are a must for the Lakes in Italy during the summer

Jackets

Jacket on a sunny day? Convincing people to try jackets out in the steamy summer can be hard. But jackets are a mainstay of Italian fashion and culture, and if you’re to enjoy the summer like a true local, you might as well pack a few of them. Although you cannot wear shorts with one. Ever.

However, they don’t need to be heavy-stuffed. You can try a lightweight Maison Margiela denim jacket for a 90s beach style or go all colourful with one of Dolce and Gabbana’s floral print puff jackets. Matching linen blazer jackets with formal trousers can also bring your Italian casual fashion inspiration to life.

Trousers

Opt for loose-fitting smart trousers to give you more room for comfort. For this reason, linen is the best material for your pants. They keep you cool when the sun is at its highest.

If you’re looking for trouser options to add some character, try white jeans. They give you a base for experimenting with other colours, just like a white canvas brings out a great painting. If you prefer wearing shorts rather than wear jeans, ensure these are smart tailored to still be stylish in an Italian way.

Another trouser option to try for a befitting Italian experience is double-pleated trousers. The extra folds of fabric can keep you cool in extra steamy situations. High-end streetwear brands like Off-white have a wide range of denim options. An alternative brand to consider for a formal summer look is Saint Laurent.

Loafers are key parts of the Italian dress code

Loafers

What’s a summer feeling without a little convenience? You’ll have to rethink your slider and flip flop habits if you want to have a memorable experience. Italians invest in their summer shoes as much as other people invest in their winter boots. A stylish pair of tailored loafers will serve you better than flip-flops, which often get sticky after a few hours in the sun. Also comfortable shoes are a must if doing lots of sight-seeing on cobblestone streets.

So if you need to know what to wear in Italy in summer on your feet, then you can always count on seasoned Made in Italy shoe brands like Valentino Garravani for their leather luxury. They offer more comfort than a nice pair of Oxford shoes on any sunny summer day. Try soft sole sneaker options if you want a bougie urban look to match your Italian summer outfit inspiration.

All in all, Italy is one of the best summer spots in the world. Immersing yourself in Italian fashion and culture can be a great way to savour your dolce vita Italian experiences. These fits will get you feeling like a local, even if it’s your first time on an Italian summer vacation.

Swimwear

Luxury designer swimwear is essential on any trip to Italy. The country is surrounded by water on the 3 sides and includes famed coastline like the Amalfi coast and one of the biggest islands in the Mediterranean sea in Sicily. Even inland away from the many coastal towns are such popular tourist hotspots like Lake Garda.

So quality swimwear for men is essential for your trip. Read our guide on mens swimwear to find the right pair for you.

Everyone should visit Italy at least once in their lifetime. Not only is the country rich in culture, art, and history, it offers a diverse range of incredible towns and cities.

Here are our top Italian locations that everyone should visit.

Venice

Known as ‘The Floating City’, Venice is a timeless classic. It can get extremely busy though, so if you want that perfect Instagram shot, head out at sunrise. This is when a lot of Venetians go out to enjoy their city away from the hordes of tourists.

The city is home to incredible examples of Gothic and Byzantine architecture and is especially known for its unique waterways that function as roads. A trip on a gondola is a must, as is a visit to St Mark’s Square, which is lined with cafes.

The Rialto Bridge is the oldest bridge across the Grand Canal. A stunning example of the Renaissance style, the Rialto is also a shopper’s paradise, packed with stores selling Venetian glass, jewellery, local crafts, and other souvenirs.

Rome hosts many of the Top Italian Locations

Rome

There are lots of gems in the Italian capital like the Vatican, but perhaps the best known is the Colosseum, which is located right in the heart of the city.

The largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, this spectacular landmark once hosted brutal gladiator fights, bloodthirsty executions, elaborate theatrical plays, and animal hunts. Today, it’s a major attraction, complete with actors dressed up as Centurions.

Be vigilant though, as pick-pockets are often rife in busy tourist hotspots, such as the area around the Colosseum, and it’s easy to lose valuables to opportunist thieves. Make sure you’ve got insurance for your holiday to give you peace of mind. This doesn’t make the colosseum any less awe-inspiring though and seeing it up close while in Rome is definitely a must.

Sorrento in Italy

Sorrento

This spectacular town overlooking the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius is captivatingly beautiful.

Sorrento is famous for its striking cliffs, sweeping crystal blue sea vistas, and historic narrow alleyways with Roman and Greek architecture. It’s also a great destination for boat tours. You can find a yacht for rent in Italy if you would like to visit this town and explore the nearby towns as well.

The centre of the town, the Piazza Tasso, is a hub of activity, with picturesque cafes and stalls selling everything from wooden crafts to lacework to ceramics.

Sorrento is also the perfect location to visit other sites of interest around the region. It’s merely a ferry trip away from some of the peninsula’s idyllic islands, such as Capri, and is within easy travelling distance of the metropolitan city of Naples, which is a haven for shopping and designer boutiques.

While in the area, it’s also worthwhile arranging a day trip to Pompeii, which can be reached from Sorrento by train. This famous archaeological site was once a thriving Roman city until AD 79 when it was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius erupting. The incredibly preserved ruins are now a popular tourist attraction and give an incredible insight into Roman life.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa

Pisa

The home of the famous Leaning Tower, Pisa is a must-see for all visitors to Italy. Built over the 12th and 14th centuries, this iconic bell tower is part of a cathedral complex called the Campo dei Miracoli, meaning ‘Field of Miracles’. The tower consists of 207 columns and has a tilt of over 3 degrees.

But there is more to Pisa than just its iconic tower; the city is home to one of Europe’s oldest universities and is rich in historical architecture and culture. If you’re interested in art and history, make sure you visit the Museo di San Matteo, Museo dell’Opera, and Museo delle Sinopie.

Florence

Tuscany’s capital is an art-lover’s dream. Home to some of the Renaissance period’s most revered masterpieces and architecture, Florence has such an effect on visitors that there is even a psychological condition induced by its overwhelming art. Stendhal syndrome is a phenomenon which sees visitors to Florence’s galleries so overwhelmed at the art that they experience symptoms such as rapid heart rate and clammy hands.

Perhaps one of Florence’s most iconic symbols is Michelangelo’s David. This marble Renaissance statue, sculpted between 1501 and 1504, stands at over 5 meters and can be viewed in the Galleria dell’Academia. Florence is home to numerous museums and art galleries, including the Uffizi Gallery which houses Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus.

Conclusion

Italy is so packed with places of historical and cultural interest, it can be difficult to decide where to visit. Our top locations are certainly among the places that everyone should see in their lifetime.

If fashion is the way to express oneself, the tailor’s shop is certainly the perfect means to do so. This is the ideal place for anyone wanting to personalise their wardrobe with unique pieces that will last over time, with the creation of a made-to-measure garment with the best textiles.

Quality choices for online fabrics

In riding the wave of innovation, it is necessary to thank the Internet and the establishment of e-commerce. The online clothing segment has grown a great deal over recent years, in parallel to almost all the trade sectors, in both Business-To-Business (B2B) and in Business-To-Consumer (B2C).

It is not easy to sell textiles online. However, thanks to the continuous development of technologies, increasingly accurate descriptions and high-quality photos, it has become possible to give the perception of the finesse and feel of the fabrics even without being able to touch them physically.

The growth of the online sale of fabrics goes hand in hand with the return of Made in Italy, both in Italy and abroad, as an enduring example of the ultimate expression of luxury, quality and good taste.

Equally, sustainability campaigns have increased interest in the journey undertaken to make an item of clothing: an itinerary which starts from the factories which produce textiles for clothes until reaching the final outlet, transforming the dynamics which used to determine communication in the sector.

Tailoring and online, a winning match

Putting these elements together, it is possible to cite Carnet as a reference point for the online sale of highly-valued Italian textiles. This is an example of meticulous research in order to offer the client the best digital experience possible, where knowledge of the material and the desire to present the best fabric for clothes combine.

Alongside this, in the world of Italian haute couture, for both women and men, the choice of the fabric and of the shape for a garment is entrusted to the expert hands of tailors who – between pinstripes, the Prince of Wales fabric, printed silks and light wool – manage to make elegant and fine clothes which above all can model the client’s figure as effectively as possible.

The cultural and professional baggage which is part of tailors’ know-how does not consist solely of experience and the meticulous way in which they work but also includes knowledge of the various types of fabric, their characteristics and their differences.

Excellence in choosing the fabric

Fabrics for clothes by the meter, both those sold online through the leading-edge portals we have available nowadays, and in the ateliers with all their history, are becoming increasingly popular and allow tailors and end-users to best express style and personality when a made to measure garment is created.

For more specific information, please refer to the detailed article on textiles for clothes by Carnet, today one of the biggest global players in the manufacture of luxury fabrics and accessories.

Italy has a rich history of brands, designers and high-fashion labels that have manufactured quality garments in their Sartorial Fashion Houses for the last century to influence style worldwide.

They’ve always been pioneering, but conforming to modern demands can also mean sacrificing on the very traditions that made them famous in the first place.

What is Sartorial Fashion?

The word Sartorial comes from the Italian word Sarto (meaning tailor) so it simply means tailored clothing, so is associated with high level of craftmanship and attention to detail. In the modern world it means classic and timeless garments of superior fit and quality.

This fashion trend is fully deserved of the Made in Italy merchandise mark, and you can look to the city of Naples as the undisputed home of Sartorial fashion. Firstly in the 1930’s, Vincenzo Attolini founded luxury menswear brand Cesare Attolini. Then in 1968, Ciro Paone started Kiton.

Originally an imitation of British tailors, the Italians quickly left their mark by changing what it meant to wear a suit. Here is an example of a Sartorial blazer, created by hand in Napoli, by a tailor from Kiton:

The main difference between an Italian cut suit and a British cut suit is that very often a British one will be looser. Italian suits are supposed to be a ‘second skin’, originally coined by Cesare Attolini, this term means that the suit is so close to your skin that it’s basically a second layer.

Another huge difference is that British suits are very often padded and lined, whereas an Italian suit is very often deconstructed, or at the very least they have no padding. Padding is considered to be bad taste in Italy.

How are Kiton and Cesare Attolini adapting to the modern needs?

One of the first things they have done is that they have employed young Italians to work in their factories. Often these sartorial artisan skills are lost to modern practises, but Kiton suits can now be created by younger tailors, who learnt their skills directly from the same people who started to make these masterpieces 60 years ago.

They have created offshoot companies to diversify and target. KNT and Kired are both under the Kiton umbrella, but they are separate companies and create separate fashion pieces. Very often a Kired suit, for example, will be built more for the modern man. A lot of older tailoring companies make quite old suits, which are great for older generations, but a lot of younger people want forward-thinking fashion. This is the idea behind KNT and Kired to cater for this demand.

Kiton released a line for women in 1995, which shows that even 30 years ago they realised that selling older style suits to rich stuffy customers was not going to permanently sustain the company. Instead, they have doubled their potential reach by tailoring to the needs of all of the population, instead of only half!

The final thing that these companies have done is follow in the footsteps of their competitors, such as Stefano Ricci and Tom Ford, and moved into the international market. This was an essential step in the evolution of these companies. After seeing the success of pioneering Stefano Ricci (which was the first Italian Luxury company to set up in China) Kiton, Cesare Attolini, and more followed suit.

What is stopping these companies from modernising?

One major thing that is stopping some of these companies from truly being in the 21st century is their use of real fur. Some companies such as Brioni have promised to no longer use fur, but a company like Kiton is a very long way away from stopping the practice. This is because it is sewed into the very fabric of the company and still produce high-quality fur coats now.

What are some examples of Italian fashion in modern media?

The protagonist of La grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty?, an Italian film that took the Oscar for the best foreign-language film at the 86th academy awards, was seen throughout the film wearing Cesare Attolini suits. They were custom made by the company for the film.

La grande Bellezza The Great Beauty

Another example would be famous people who have admitted to wearing Kiton. It’s actually against the company’s policy to release the names of people who buy their suits, but some people are known to wear them. Vladimir Putin, Berlusconi, and Bruno Mars are amongst those who have been confirmed.

Which is the most expensive fashion brand in the world?

There are several expensive high fashion brands based in Italy. Some you will have heard of, such as Dolce & Gabbana or Versace. However, although these brands are expensive, they are nothing compared to the Italian Sartorial Fashion Houses. The main reason that brands such as Tom Ford, Zilli, Kiton, Cesare Attolini, Brioni, and Santoni are so expensive is that they hand-tailor a large majority of their products.

Not only that, but they use expensive materials such as Vicuna to create their products. Crocodile skin is another favourite of these companies and is often used by Kiton and Stefano Ricci to create unique pieces that people will pay upwards of £10,000 for.

A vicuna suit or overcoat can cost upwards of £30,000 and a certain Kiton Suit (K50) is only able to be made by 5 people in the company so costs around £50,000. It is made from Merino sheep wool and is worn by the richest of the rich around the world.

The final thing you are paying for is the name itself. Although these suits look absolutely fantastic, there is something more valuable for a lot of people in the branding. This is generally true of a lot of fashion houses, but at the very least with the Sartorial Artisan tailors of Italy, you are getting a handmade suit.

Whereas a lot of the more modern Northern Italian fashion houses use factories (sometimes not even in Italy itself so cannot carry the Made in Italy label) to create their pieces.

What does Made in Italy mean in fashion?

Made in Italy is a merchandising mark to indicate the full end to end manufacturing process has been in the country, including design and packing before and after. This means Italian fashion is often hand-crafted, extremely high quality, and made to measure couture.

It came to prominence in 1980 as some parts of Italy began to outsource parts of the process, to separate out the traditional family run fashion houses who continued with their unique high specialization processes.
