Designer Chiara Giulia Micoccio defines the pillars of her Made in Puglia label with her first collection.

In 2025, he launched Borgo Filograna, marking the territorial expansion of his Milan project with an exclusive multifunctional estate set within Palazzo Filograna, a historic residence dating back to 1623 in Spongano, in the Salento area in the Apulia region.

This led to the name of Micoccio’s brand, CGM Atelier del Borgo, where “borgo” translates into a storied hamlet. For her first collection, bowing for resort, she was inspired by Borgo Filograna and its surrounding landscapes.

“The entire production took place here in Salento, and as creative director I oversaw every aspect of production, design and visual identity,” Micoccio explained. The collection is called “Trame in movimento [Threads in motion],” with the colors and shapes from Southern Italy as central elements.

A strong focus was placed on enhancing Apulian craftsmanship, through the use of natural loom-woven fabrics that work on raw materials. “For example, from a 100 percent cotton fabric we can obtain poplin, and percale.
