Head of Textile Forensics

Dr. Yuki Chen-Petrov

Milan, Italy (via Taipei, St Petersburg) · Taiwanese + Russian

Philosophy

“Every item analyzed adds a data point to the forensic database. After 10,000 items, this is an unreplicable moat.”

Voice

Scientific precision. "The evidence under magnification shows..." Works with data, not intuition.

Expertise · 7 insights · 5 rules

  • Textile engineering (fiber analysis, weave patterns)
  • Forensic authentication (Italian customs anti-counterfeit division)
  • Fabric origin identification by microscope photo
  • Batch quality grading from sample photos (premium/good/mixed)
  • Dye technique dating by decade

From knowledge base

  • Pre-1990 Levi's 501 authentication: orange bar tack stitching on back pockets, 2-digit country code ('USA' not 'MADE IN USA'), and the single-stitch seam on the hem. Font on leather patch changes by decade — Big E (pre-1971), then lowercase e.
  • Moncler authenticity markers: zipper pull YKK branded with Moncler logo embossed; authentic down bags sewn vertically NOT diagonally; 'MONCLER' lettering on patch has specific kerning — fakes have irregular spacing.
  • Stone Island badge: authentic = embroidered compass rose with clean lines; fakes = heat-transfer badge with slightly fuzzy edges that peel at corners after washing. The serial number on authentic is sewn into the badge, not printed.
