Save the Queen
Hand-crafting designer dresses seems to be a dying industry in Italy. With small and large companies closing. Not Elena Fantini and Save the Queen. As founder and designer of Save the Queen clothing, she rigorously creates and produces her whole collection of designer dresses and female tops.
Started in Florence in 1985, by businessman Mark Fantini and his wife Elena as the creative spirit. Save The Queen clothes, especially their designer dresses and casual designer tops for women are born from truely original works of art. Each is based on two core elements: the importance of human relations and the rebirth of traditional techniques in Italian hand craft.
Elena Fantini's deigns boast an artistic philosophy which could not exist if it were not intimately linked with painting. The inspiration in her clothing is one of past cultures. For Elena Fantini, in these times of poor identity, there is nothing not worth the time spent in interpreting into something useful. |

Her work is an ongoing search through history. The quest to reclaim the disowned and sometimes lost spirit of great people.
Generally Save the Queen work with craftspeople from Tuscany in producing gorgeous evening dresses and beautiful designer dresses. But lately they have been working with companies in Molise and Abruzzi. Places where pockets of the true hand made craft exist still and its proponents can boast a great deal of experience and character. Save the Queen seek out those who still use some of the ancient techniques; embroideries that are performed by hand and each one unique. This applies also to the printed designs - they always represent a true artistic expression.
The problem with these techniques is that they will be lost if they are not used. Save the Queen fashions: it is the Queen to save - The Queen is the culture, the historical legends of people, ages, and the searching out of a new world or of old memories.
Save The Queen is the “Made by hand in Italy”.
