About me
I started as a costume designer for 'Circo Nero', a project inspired by Twisted Circus, which was travelling between the most well-known Italian nightclubs.
A few years later, I joined a fashion course in London where I became passionate about the intricate craft techniques in the garment making process.
Following the course in London, I then worked for three years as an apprentice at Connock & Lockie, a British bespoke tailoring company.
From there, I joined Ralph & Russo's haute couture team in the construction and tailoring department.
With the ultimate aim of creating my own brand, I decided to focus on my designs and clients and worked as a freelance tailor and designer.
My experience eventually led me to the prestigious Chanel in London where I am currently working as a tailor.
All these experiences have given me an excellent understanding of the creative process within the fashion industry.
I am always striving to achieve more for myself and those working alongside me.
Driving my own small company and projects I learned the importance of deadline With The ability to be patient, reliable and to work well under pressure.
I always priorities the work discussed with the team,I strongly believe that the team is one of the main key points for a successful design or project.
Projects
- Private ClientsAt the first appointment the designer ,invite the client to present a small visual research that could be anything related to the client taste and ideas. The research will finally speaks for the client through images such as art, painting,fashion architecture and so on. The visual research will guide and help the designing team to understand the clients needs and taste, then the team will prepare a capsule collection tightly related to the clients taste. The tailor will understand the client figure and body shape,with any measurement required,that will clearly help to create a pattern based on each body structure. The combination of the the personal research , the development of the designer,and the body measurement of the tailor ,will deeply deliver a very personal and unique capsule collection or outfit strongly designed for each clients.
