Artifact of history. Crafting processes in the fashion world

Contrary to mass production, craftsmanship preserves traditions and techniques passed down from generation to generation, which allows the creation of objects with a unique character and high aesthetic value. These processes require not only technical skill but also a deep understanding of materials, history and cultural contexts, allowing fashion to serve as an expression of individuality and cultural identity.
