About me
My creative soul is eclectic. I am not a maximalist nor a minimalist. I consider that my creativity is in between the two in an organic way, in a duality that blends together naturally. Formerly, I was working in luxury e-commerce Farfetch as Deputy Styling Editor on a Mastery level in which I was the accountable person for mentoring the Styling Team and approving all the imagery for the website from a styling POV. Journalism/Social Communication was my first University degree which allowed me to work for VOGUE. Posteriorly, I went to Central Saint Martins for specialisations in Fashion Marketing and Art Direction for Fashion. And every year I am constantly learning doing specific courses connected to Fashion, in Parsons is the most recent. My passion for Style exists since I can remember: I am a grandaughter of a tailor who worked for Louis Vuitton Maison and of a seamstress. Style and Fashion were always present in my life being part of my essence. Currently I am redirecting my career to Fashion & Lifestyle Director and Luxury Brands Consultant.

    Fashion Features Editor RoleAnd just like that...in the end of this month I am leaving FARFETCH. A company that embraced me when I was 23 (almost turning 24 at that time) and now after eight years this beautiful journey is coming to an end. I do not like goodbyes at all...and I can say a huge Thank You to this amazing company that allowed me to grow so much personally and professionally. And mostly to my colleagues, sweetest team which some become dearest friends that I will keep for life. Wishing all the success to FAR
