About me

Fashion Designer in love with garment manipulation, through sculpting, embroidery, prints. Feeling close to Haute Couture and Contemporary Fashion. A designer's duty is to both promote craftsmanship for our clothes to last in time and to do so in an eco-friendly way. Positive Fashion is the future. Going to museums, reading about the latest sustainable trends, exploring magazines and artists and walking in nature helps her develop ideas for new projects. She strongly believes in interdisciplinary collaborations, therefore she always experiments with contrasting fabrics and materials.

Fashion Design Bachelor’s DegreePolitecnico di Milano
Sep 2015 - Sep 2018Milan, Italy
University taught me how to be independent when developing a project and to never stop thinking of new ideas to find out who you really are and which tools to use to best express yourself. Starting from brainstorming and research, mood boards and concept boards are the first impressions of what the project is about. Moving to trend and target research to help develop a silhouette and experiment with fabrics and textiles techniques, such as printing, dyeing, sculpting and cutting. Managing fashion illustrations and tech packs. Sewing the collection and organising the shooting from start to end, dealing with the art direction, styling and photography process myself. The final step was to prepare a full presentation through project lookbooks. I learned about Adobe Creative Suite Programs, such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, and the Microsoft Office Package. I gained basic knowledge of graphic and photography, together with 3d programs to create and render accessories.
