Embroidery atelier tour in Milan

Some of the most marvellous outfits paraded on the red carpets of Hollywood were made by the late master embroiderer Pino Grasso, as were many of the embroideries embellishing the costumes worn in Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby film. Today, in the atelier he established, a small but close-knit group of embroiderers gives life to the visions of the best Italian fashion designers. In the course of four hours, visitors will discover the history of the company, see the studio where skilful designers create the new patterns, and lose themselves in the immense archive containing over 10,000 samples. At the end of the tour, visitors may test their embroidery skills under the supervision of Pino Grasso’s master artisans. This tour is only by appointment. Please note that this experience costs 25 EUR per person and requires a minimum of 5 participants to take place.

Some of the most marvellous outfits paraded on the red carpets of Hollywood are 'his', as are many of the embroideries embellishing the costumes worn in Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby film. We’re talking about Pino Grasso, a master who, despite his age – he was born in 1931 – every morning crosses the threshold of his workshop, where a small but close-knit group of embroiderers gives life to the visions of the best Italian fashion designers. In the course of four hours, visitors will discover the history of the company, see the studio where skilful designers create the new patterns that are embroidered in Pino Grasso’s workshops, and lose themselves in the immense archive containing over 10,000 samples. At the end of the tour, visitors may try embroidery for themselves under the supervision of Pino’s master craftswomen. Only by appointment. Please note that this experience costs 70 EUR per person and requires a minimum of 5 participants to take place.
