There’s a new way to work!

What is MakinIt?

MakinIt was born to bring the fashion supply chain together, creating real connections between brands, suppliers and professionals through a B2B digital platform that’s simple, intuitive and accessible.

At the heart of Made in Italy

MakinIt brings together a multidisciplinary, multilingual and intergenerational creative team, born in the manufacturing area of Vicenza and reaching all the way to the shores of Lake Garda. An ecosystem of diverse expertise — supply chain, SaaS, branding, compliance and product development — working to foster collaboration, innovation and new opportunities for the fashion industry.

We believe in a future where technology and manufacturing can grow together, preserving the human, creative and productive value that makes Made in Italy unique.

The founder

MakinIt is a project created by Yasmin Naqvi, fashion designer and founder of The Style Factory, born to champion Italian manufacturing and create new connections between creativity, production and innovation.

Yasmin Naqvi

British by birth but Italian at heart, Yasmin brings over thirty years of experience in international fashion business, building a path that combines design, product development and deep knowledge of the fashion supply chain.

From this experience comes the vision for MakinIt: supporting Italian SMEs, the heart of Made in Italy, with tools, expertise and collaborations capable of generating sustainable growth and global competitiveness.

Mission

Our mission is to champion Italian know-how and make SMEs more competitive, transparent and sustainable, building collaborative supply chains capable of connecting the region to international markets quickly, ethically and efficiently.

  1. Italian supply chain

    MakinIt champions a clear, ethical and sustainable Italian supply chain, both nationally and — above all — internationally.

  2. Simplifying processes

    The platform is for brands, suppliers, buyers and professionals: it lets them meet easily and build their own supply chain through a shared language — the digital one.

  3. Connecting and building visibility

    The project gives companies a tool to increase their visibility in the fashion market.
