ATXV Antonio Tarantini ITALY

“I want to mix, cut, stitch, tear, crimp, turn upside down, break and drape everything that I happen to lay my hands

on, and I want to carry on speaking to women and men in the same, single language.”

“THE QUESTION OF IMAGE OR BEING ‘FASHIONABLE’ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DECISION TO USE CERTIFIED FABRICS AND REDUCE WASTE BY RECYCLING MATERIALS. I DID IT WITH AWARENESS AND BECAUSE IT’S GENUINELY WHAT I WANT TO DO. I’M THE KIND OF PERSON WHO REALLY CAN’T COMPREHEND CARELESSNESS WHEN IT COMES TO THE FINER DETAILS, WHICH CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. ATXV CAN’T BE CONSIDERED A SUSTAINABLE BRAND YET. IT’S A LONG AND UNFORTUNATELY VERY COSTLY PROCESS FOR A LABEL THAT’S JUST STARTING OUT, BUT IT IS ONE OF MY GOALS MOVING FORWARD.”
