Tania Spagnolo at the International Manibus Award
Participating in the International Manibus Award in the wonderful setting of the Piccinni Theater in Bari was a privilege and an intense emotion. On this evening dedicated to artisanal excellence, I had the honor of presenting one of my sartorial creations made for the event's presenter: a magnificent long dress in state-of-the-art 3D lace, obviously Made in Italy.
For the occasion, I created and wore an outfit that perfectly reflects my vision: a play of gold and black brocades, fringes, and baroque elements that engage with the strength of contemporary femininity. A look that combines character, craftsmanship, and Apulian identity, in line with the philosophy that guides all my work: transforming tradition into style.
Being part of such a prestigious evening, dedicated to those who create value with their hands, was like rediscovering the truest root of my craft: craftsmanship that innovates, excites, and continues to tell stories... certain that, from this stage, my Smart Couture arrived exactly where it was meant to be.
