Daniela Gregis

With a passion for Japanese culture and craftsmanship Daniela Gregis has a cult following with little online presence.

Her use of knits and crochet in her collections underline the connection with the artisanal, slow means of production. At the end of her catwalk presentations, all her workers and tailors come out and take a bow with her. She honours and celebrates not just craftsmanship, and the handcrafts (she includes embroidery, handwoven baskets, knitting and crochet in her work), but also of materials (wool, linen, silks). At the same time, she doesn’t shun modern technology, so she will show hand-painted alongside laser printed silks.
