Ful has been founded by Francesco Marzocca.
Francesco, how did you manage to conquer brands of the caliber of Guess, Zanellato, Dsquared2?
"The story could start from far away, but to avoid boring anyone we say That I was the right person at the right time. I've always worked a lot and I've Always Been very curious. The many people I met over time have learned to appreciate my character, aware That even in emergencies (and in the fashion world every project is Often an emergency) I would have Always Been ready to help them to reach the common goal: the success of the brand. Word of mouth has certainly played an important role in this environment everyone knows each other, from top managers to suppliers. I learned a lot by working in fashion and Participating in many races to create new concepts for fashion brands. We have not always won but as I Often say: "sometimes you win, sometimes you learn".I do not feel I have ever lost, I had the chance to test myself and make a journey, to meet new people and open up new horizons. Then surely I was lucky.
What is the Italian design industry playing at international level?
I believe that Italian design is back in fashion. At least in my sector, after the EXPO, Italian architects and designers are again in first place in the world rankings. We are very keen to get involved and not to get involved in style or movement. This is an added value because we have a free mind and we are ready to create new things, but with an eye to the past. As for the design exhibition, for example, the same Pitti Image has returned to its old splendor In the last two years and now opens the festival of Milan, Paris and London.
How do you see the next evolution of sales spaces, especially in fashion retail design?
This is a question I ask myself every night, also because it is the future of our activity as designers and creatives. Survey of digital and e-commerce is creating slowdowns in the opening of "real" stores, some time up to 100 - 150 shops and boutiques opened in a year. I believe that companies are concentrating their openings on strategic places, in Italy, what better advertising for a fashion brand than a flagship store on the best shopping streets or in a mall?
Both print and signage are suffering a lot, but the "real" store will never die, maybe the size and investments will decrease, but the luxury segment where, the customer will want to feel pampered and recommended the top brands will sell their very central locations.
