I’m currently based in London, where I’ve been living for about four years after moving here to attend my MA Fashion Journalism at the London College of Fashion (UAL).
Since graduating, I’ve been contributing for publications for the likes of Drapers, Glamour, Wonderland, Idol and more recently Lurve for which I currently cover the position of Features Editor. At Lurve, I am responsible for editing all features for both the print and online versions of the magazine. Selecting people and topics related with art and fashion and translating from Italian / French - native languages of our contributors - to English, the language of publication, are also among my tasks.
I am currently assisting ELLE Italia Contributing Editor Valentina Elisabetta Mariani in the writing and editing of her features - mostly personalities and trend spots - on ELLE Ita, ELLE Deco, Very ELLE Beauty, ELLE Kids, ELLE Brides and ELLE Gourmet. Researching for pitching to the Editor in Milan Eugenio Gallavotti, drafting pieces to be published and translating press releases and interviews from English to italian - language of publication - are among my tasks. I currently assist Valentina on a freelance base.
I have experience as Private Styling Concierge & Partners Relationships Executive luxury private styling concierge Charlotte Panda Ltd., which specialises in EU and Far East Asian clients.
In the last year I've worked as Communications Directors of a fashion PR company strongly focused on digital and technology. Building tools for clients to interact with their customers more effectively - apps / social media - has been part of my role on a daily base, while managing a team of 10 based between London and Shanghai.
