In February 2020, Italy suffered from a huge outbreak of the corona virus, which started a crisis that nobody would have expected. Not much time has passed after the outbreak until a strict lockdown across Italy has been announced, forcing everyone to stay inside. But despite all these sudden challenges that were bringing everyones nerves to its limits, Italy showed us one thing: They never stop being happy. 

Hearing the voices of the people you appreciate can give you unexpected power and inspiration. This is why I decided to reach out to many different tailors, artisans and influencers of the italian tailoring world and let them speak up and share their thoughts during these times.

Enjoy these following voice recordings I received from them, telling us what they are personally doing during the quarantine, how they stay productive and what they learned about themselves from this crisis.
