CLAUDIA ALCANTARA SAID: "I’m tired of proving that I’m a textile restorer.".

I’ve worked in fashion for years, therefore I’ve had the opportunity to practice in its most varied processes. Creation, development, production of fashion and costumes, and also in a more historical and scientific aspect, the Conservation and Restoration of Historic Textiles. Regardless of how extremely rare and difficult the access is to this career, I wanted it, accomplished it, and I am a Textile Restorer. And I’ve spent years still hearing the question: Where is the Restorer. You’re the Restorer? You’re so nice, why don’t you look for an area that’s more creative and artistic? With a lot of confidence, determination and education I found a position with my employer and I’m realizing my project.
