Maybe if I were a doctor’s or a scholar’s daughter, my collection would be perhaps minimal, neuter, strict and undeviating.

Instead, I was born inside chaos, and I see myself as the typical “Made in Carpi” product: my city is a historical producing site of knitwear, where children are still brought up among wool wire spools, fabric clippings, embroideries, trimmings and unmatching buttons.

Phisique du Role is the outcome of this background, history and tradition coupled with imagination and why not, a pinch of madness.
