About me
I am an Italian Milliner & Fashion Designer with a strong multicultural background. After spending 6 years in Japan, I decided to change my career path. My professional journey in Millinery started in 2013.
I have a huge knowledge of the fashion industry: design - making prototyping - production management - wholesale – retail. My experience allowed me to join great companies, like Misa Harada Millinery and Lock & Co Hatters, where I am currently running the Ladies Showroom. I would be delighted to to craft beautiful hats to complement your look!
