I remember perfectly that we received the official communication of our Institute's closure on Sunday, February 23rd, 2020. I don't think that we actually realized what was going on. I will be honest, I was almost happy because I thought that we were only going to stay home for a week or a few days more, I took it as a holiday. I though that it was just a regular prevention. On Monday, if I'm not wrong, I even went skiing. The first two weeks went by without courses, we hoped that we would have come back to school early. Fortunately, our school immediately understood that the situation was serious and without wasting any more time prepared a calendar of online classes. For sure, online courses have some pros and cons; it depends on each student's attitude to say which one is a pro and which one is a con. Personally, at the very beginning I was almost excited, as it happens for every new situation: I liked the idea that I could follow my classes on my sofa, carry my cat with me... Then, I realized that I can't focus in front of a screen as well as I can do in front of my professors. That is why many teachers tried to organize non-frontal lessons, and often let us intervene. They try to keep us focused.

The Fashion and Design Industries have been aggressively afflicted by the COVID-19 emergency. As a consumer, but also as a future insider of those systems, what will be the worst consequences of this crisis?
 

I am saying this since the very beginning of the lockdown, I said it so much that I don't know anymore if I really think that or if it is just become a habit: as a creative I love to find solutions, to see new opportunities in everything. I think we should roll up our sleeves more than others in the following years, bu we are creative and we know how to do it. When you're ready to invent, you're ready to change, to adapt fast, to get back on your feet with a new strength and new ideas.
