Gianluca Capannolo’s design
He dedicates himself to womenswear, characterized by well-thought choices about fabrics and materials (when it became necessary, he also created new materials). The production of his fabrics and pieces is totally made in Italy, between Piedmont and Lombardy.
His partnerships
Since 1994, the year after he graduated, he started working for Lambros Milona; then, he designer pieces for Bagutta, Fratelli Rossetti and Maurizio Pecoraro.
In 2001 was proposed to design Amano, a new made-in-Peru women’s collection which had to merge two antithetic aspects such as South American craftsmanship tradition and Italian avant-garde.
Since 2005 is Creative Director at Lancetti, where he re-styled both the haute couture and the prêt-à-porter. In 2006 AltaRoma and Vogue Italia proposed him to expose his creations at Who is On Next? contest, where he really succeeded. In the same years, in November, he was appointed Creative Director at Krizia. Then, he partnered also with Metradamo and Roberto Cavalli.
The collection has ever since been distributed in high-level shops – Banner e Biffi in Milano, Luisa Via Roma in Firenze, Sugar in Arezzo, Bernardelli in Mantova, Salomè in Brescia, Degli Effetti and Gente in Roma, Helmé in Catania…
