I'm Alessandro Bertolotto, a 25-year-old fashion designer and product developer from the province of Como, Italy, currently based in Winterthur, Switzerland. I hold a degree in Fashion Design from Raffles Milano and have spent the last few years working on handbags, leather goods, and ready-to-wear collections, collaborating with international brands and suppliers across Europe and Asia. I was recognized as Student of the Year during my second year at Raffles Milano and have developed a hands-on, cross-functional approach to design. I'm driven by curiosity and a hands-on mindset: I enjoy researching materials, refining constructions, and turning concepts into production-ready pieces. My experience spans development from prototypes to BOMs, color trials to final samples, and collaboration with pattern-makers and in-house teams. I have recently contributed to ready-to-wear collections with Gisada, and I bring a proactive, collaborative attitude to every team I join.
