Italian hand craft for designer dresses it seems is dying, small and large companies close for lack of jobs. Not if Elena Fantini has anything to do with it, mother and designer of Save the Queen clothing, who rigorously creates and produces her entire collection of designer dresses and casual designer female tops in Italy.

In 1985, Florence, entrepreneur Mark Fantini and his wife Elena, the creative spirit, gave birth to Save The Queen clothes, designer dresses and casual designer female tops that are born from true and original works of art, based on two key elements: the importance of the human relations and the recovery of traditions and techniques of Italian hand craft. The fashion of Elena Fantini boasts an artistic philosophy and, therefore, it could not exist if not intimately tied to painting.

The inspiration is one of passed cultures because, for Elena Fantini, in this century of poor identity, there is nothing that it is not worth the pain of being interpreted. Its is a continuous search into the depths of the history of great people to reclaim their disowned and sometimes lost spirit.

Generally they work with craftsmen from Tuscany to produce their gorgeous evening dresses and beautiful designer dresses but lately they are turning to companies in Molise and Abruzzi where sanctuaries' of the hand craft exist true and can boast both great experience and character. In those places they still use ancient techniques. The embroideries are executed by hand and each one is unique. The same applies to the print designs - they represent true artistic expression.

The true problem is that they are techniques that will go lost if not stimulated. Save the Queen fashion: which is the Queen to save - The Queen is the culture, the historical legend of the people, the ages, the search of new worlds or old memories. The Queen is the “Made in Italy”.
