Q&A WITH / LITTLE CREATIVE FACTORY
Q: The flow between the baby,
kid, and adult lines is so well
orchestrated and seems effortless.
Can you tell us about your design
process and what you take into
consideration as you’re designing
for multiple generations?
My design process starts
with an inspiration: a movie, a
picture, a place, a song, etc. The
emotions and art (in any of its
expressions) are very important
to me. In most of the cases,
art has been the starting point.
Movies from my childhood have
inspired me for the last two winter
collecti ons ‘The Dream House’
and ‘Nostalghia’. But, also a trip
or a journey can transmit lot of
feelings and emotions that allow
me to imagine a new collection,
with different volumes, shapes or
colours.
Little’s pieces are timeless. They
don’t follow any trend.
My garments are versatile, they
have been designed to be worn in
different ways, you can combine
or lay different pieces of the
collection. ‘Little’ clients (woman,
boy or girl) may express their own
personality through my garments.
It is just about feeling comfortable
and well with oneself. With Little
there are no rules; play with the
garments!
designed for Little Creative
Factory? When Ona, my daughter,
was a baby, I started designing
and sewing little caps for her. I
used to buy fabrics with Japanese
patterns at that time to create
little bonnets. They became very
successful among friends and
relatives, a lot of mums asked
me where I had bought them,
so a crazy idea –or perhaps a
dreamcame to my mind and Little
Q: What was the first thing you Creative Factory was born.
Q: Do you have a favorite item
from the current collection? I really
can’t tell you only one, because
each item is for me a little piece of
art created with the same passion
and love, but this season you will
find the black & white check shirt
dress, an iconic piece of Little. It
has been one of our bestsellers,
with a simple but very feminine
line and with its timeless pattern,
the design is just wonderful.
