Today we went to a textile factory and got to see the whole process on how everything is designed and made. They let us take a look at their collection for Fall/Winter. It was interesting to see that everything was black but it made sense because black is their best seller. I never really thought about how designers needed to pick the fabrics, but looking around in my head I would say, "this fabric would be perfect for a peacoat" and things like that. I'm sure thats exactly what the designers do as well. Seeing the design process was my favorite part. They showed us the computers and the room where all the designs are created. After that we walked down to the factory with the looms. It was so loud, I would never be able to work there. But they had a screen that kept the noise out of the rest of the building and it surprisingly worked pretty well.
After seeing and hearing about the company we finally made it to Florence. It is so beautiful here I wish we could stay longer than just four days. When we were first going to Milan I had an image in my head of what I thought Italy would be like. Florence is exactly what I pictured. We had a little bit of time to explore and find the shops before meeting with the group again. It was great, I can't wait to explore some more!
