all in all, this seems more like an exploration of the<br />

art of detail than a visit to an atelier. the mannequins,<br />

the easy chairs, the suitcases are evidence<br />

that this is a “seeker’s den”, and that is how leonardi<br />

sees himself, “because i love to search for new<br />

ideas, gleaned from art or furniture design, and see<br />

how i can apply them to fashion”. we are in piazza<br />

sant’erasmo Cinque, but in a flash we are transported<br />

to the london of exclusive antiques, in an<br />

art gallery, a furniture showroom and who knows<br />

what else; because the search is never-ending. “we<br />

have created a series of ad hoc accessories: made<br />

to measure ties with unusual retro silks, a vast range<br />

of pochettes, shirts, leather accessories, scents and,<br />

when the weather turns nicer, even made to measure<br />

bicycles”, he tells us. what’s next? - we intend to<br />

expand the entire cashmere tailoring segment, with<br />

the collaboration of artisans who weave on ancient<br />

looms; we are offering a personalized service that includes<br />

a reorganization of the entire wardrobe and<br />

remodeling of the individual articles. a bespoken<br />

plus”. waiting to be discovered in a Milanese piazza.<br />
