FRANCA SOZZANI AND STRATEAS CARLUCCI
Designers Peter Strateas and Mario-Luca Carlucci first met Franca Sozzani when the pair was hand-selected by the Editor-in-Chief for the l’Uomo Vogue Launch in Sydney Australia.
“I was impressed with their beautiful designs, high quality tailoring and fabrication of their collection and I selected STRATEAS CARLUCCI to represent the best of Australian designers during the launch.”
From the initial introduction to the brand, Franca Sozzani and the Vogue Italia team have been great supporters of STRATEAS CARLUCCI including the brand in the printed and online publications.
Franca Sozzani was also on the International Judging panel of the International Woolmark Prize, where STRATEAS CARLUCCI continued to strengthen their relationship.
“They presented a very well refined collection and their fabrications and techniques were very impressive.”
“I believe STRATEAS CARLUCCI continue to grow from strength to strength and have shown and continue to show great potential in the global market”.
