M:Hello, and welcome to our program “Working Abroad.” Our guest this evening is a Londoner who lives and works in Italy. Her name’s Susan Hill. Susan, welcome to the program. You live in Florence. How long have you been living there?
W:Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, I planned to stay for only 6 months.
M:Why did you change your mind?
W:Well, I’m a designer. I design leather goods, mainly shoes and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italy’s top fashion houses, Ferragamo. So, I decided to stay.
M:How lucky! Do you still work for Ferragamo?
W:No, I’ve been a freelance designer for quite a long time now. Since 1988, in fact.
M:So, does that mean you design for several different companies now?
W:Yes, that’s right. I’ve designed many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and during the last four years, I’ve also been designing for the British company, Burberry.
M:What have you been designing for them?
W:Mostly handbags, and small leather goods.
M:Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982?
W:Oh, yes. It has become a lot more competitive. Because the quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But the Italian quality and design is still world-famous.
M:And do you ever think of returning to live in England?
W:No, not really. Working in Italy is more interesting. I also love the Mediterranean sun and the Italian lifestyle.
M:Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan.
W:My pleasure.
