Arsutoria School

Jim Pacifico, Marketing Head and co-owner of Sapatero, joined Arsutoria School with the goal of gaining the skills needed to develop a new women’s footwear and sneaker collection for his brand in the Philippines, a fully homegrown shoemaking business specializing in handmade men’s leather shoes. He came to Milan to gain fashion insights and work with our professional instructors.

For Jim, the course was very valuable, as it helped him move beyond a product-focused mindset and understand how the different elements of a collection
come together throughout the creative process. He learned how to approach collection development with a broader perspective, moving from product to branding.

Wishing you great success with the launch of your future women’s line, Jim!
