I am a young textile designer specialised in embroidery, embellishement and fabric manipulation. I have been graduated in 2021 from De Montfort university in Leicester - UK
My work is motivated by exploring different processes and textures combination. I develop my design in volume as a fabric sculpture My goal is to reach the limit of possibilities thanks to concepts and techniques. My inspiration comes from art history and nature observation. The influence of the fashion haute couture is central for each project. Considering the Anthropocene, implementing sustainable products is essential. My designs are composed of respectful fibres such as hemp, linen, rami, peace silk, recycled sequins and innovative alternatives like pineapple leather.
