In July 2016, the esteemed Italian shoemaker, Sutor Mantellassi, sought my expertise for an artistic collaboration. 

The endeavor entailed the creation of twelve distinct character portraits, each featuring three motifs. Accompanied by my beloved partner, we embarked on a global journey from August to November 2016, visiting cities such as Berlin, New York, London, Milan (twice), and Paris. The fruit of our labor was 36 pieces of work, showcased during Pitti L'Uomo at the Palazzo Gianfigliazzi in Florence in January 2017. 

Additionally, we commemorated this project by producing an aesthetically pleasing book.
