WHO AM I?
Born in 1985, after high school I followed in the "family tradition" of attending medical school for several years before discovering my true passion in 2008 after having spent sometime abroad. I returned to Italy to begin training as a fashion designer graduating from several well-known Italian institutions. As a result of these various formative experiences, in 2014 I decided to open my own studio specialising in the design and manufacturing of women's clothing.
MY STORY
June 2008.
I'm traveling in northern Europe. I am in a basement of a hostel in Amsterdam.
In a flash a thought suddenly becomes clear in my mind: I want to make clothes.
I'm lost for words. In silence, I'm having a walk.
At home I find the support of my family and so I start my training in Florence. Magic. I experience a new sense of freedom, I have a great desire to learn and discover.
I find myself thinking that what I do has real value; the most beautiful gift.
After a few months in Berlin I return to Milan to start courses in tailoring, attend various institutions and I gain experience in different fields.
I believe I have never hated so much this job as during a internship in a theatre tailoring workshop: frustrating and with little hope.
A couple of months later my sister is getting married, wearing the dress I made. No pressure, no compulsion ... I began to love this job, which is basically to be a tailor.
In autumn 2014 I have the occasion to tell my story and my projects; I never really felt ready, but at the end of the meeting I discover that somehow I committed to make a small collection.
I start working as assistant for a ready-to-wear brand in Milan and in a relatively short time I open my own studio in Como and startup activity in apparel. A project where the respect for life, an attention to people, processes and materials, the confidence in the synergy between individuals, disciplines and knowledge are not only elements of a vision but integral parts of any creation.
