After having developed the standard models, we begin to realize various types of variants, then move on to the realization of prototypes on canvas, studying fabrics, materials (which are generally very precious and delicate) and the most suitable processes. Many exercises are carried out concerning the development and design with the aim of forming a model maker with a high technical preparation, capable of interpreting and impeccably implementing the ideas of the stylist or client for whom he works.
