At the young age of 17 years old, attending the last year of high school and looking forward to start studying at LCF in London in 2020, I've already accomplished few things in the creative industry.
In 2016, I started ENTOURAGE, a menswear streetwear brand which in less than 5 months got international coverage, vitality on facebook groups and celebrity endorsement by the likes of Tina Kunakey and Ryan Destiny.
In 2019, I started working as the Art Director of dropArt, the first fashion, streetwear and art expo ever done in Sicily. With more than 2000 attendees for the first edition of the expo, it has definitely been a success and we are looking to recreate the experience next year.
While focusing on the creative direction of these two upcoming brands, I've also followed my other big passion: photography. Shooting mainly on film, but also digital for editorial projects.
I'm usually good at linking different subjects between them, I think I might have what some people call the "overall view" or "mind's eye".

Structured as a marketplace and as a traditional expo, the first edition was a success with over 2000 attendees. With guests going from Italian artists like Jacopo de Carli and rapper Nayt, to the live coverage done by Outpump, the most important streetwear and fashion magazine in Italy.

Intrigued by that concept and without any academical preparation but only with internet and books as my teachers, I started Screenprinting hoodies with the phrase "Everywhere we go they know exactly who we are". Without any expectations I started posting pictures of these hoodie on FB Groups like "The basement" which soon became my platform to share my latest creations. In the cour
