Rise up again

This is a story about Riccardo the lord of fashion. The tailor par excellence. He represents an era in Gianni Versace's hometown of Reggio Calabria, Italy, as a man with a humble attitude and innate class. Within him is the art of creation that has nourished his life for nearly eighty years. The artisan fashion shop continues to live with him. Richard in the 1970s created innovative men's suits with beautiful, one-of-a-kind motifs. His atelier was frequented by many creatives including the young Versace himself. Riccardo Lavino, whose name in art is Richard, is a man who made himself out of nothing. Made in Italy.
