Academicians
Academy was the place where Plato taught. Today it stands for a permanent association that, governed by a statute, aims to promote letters, sciences and the arts by fostering study and education.
The National Academy of Tailors wants to protect, perpetuate and teach the art of tailoring. It does this through the figure of the Academician, the guardian of the tradition (knowledge, technique, style) that it wants to put at the service of new recruits, the new Masters of the future.
The Master Academicians are divided into senior and junior.
Senior Academician
Being an Academician is both an honor and a burden. A prestige that only a select few Master Tailors can achieve.The appointment as Academician takes place after an in-depth examination of the merits acquired during one's working life.
In addition to the professional reputation, other aspects are considered as the results achieved: the passion one puts in the work of tailor and the training action exercised over the years towards new and young colleagues.
To become an Academician, once you are sure you have all the characteristics required, you must contact the Academy Operational Secretariat, which will provide all the necessary information and will follow the candidate's admission process step by step.
Junior Academician
It can only be preserved by teaching. That's why it is crucial for the Academy to encourage newcomers to the Italian sartorial scene.This is also intended to create a generational change, allowing talented young people to grow, train, and establish themselves on the national sartorial scene. The Academy wants to create an intergenerational exchange, of knowledge and experience. Only in this way is the perpetuation of Italian sartorial art possible. The opportunities that the Academy offers to young people Under 35 are many, including training courses and competitions for new craft realities.
