I am Alessia Calicchio, a freelance fashion designer currently collaborating with Re - Project Studio in Reggio Emilia. With over 15 years of experience partnering with renowned fashion brands in Italy and abroad, I specialize in outerwear and developing complete looks for womenswear and menswear. My work has included roles such as head designer and design collaborator for brands like Gaudì, Marella, and the Max Mara Fashion Group. I thrive in fast-paced environments, blending design, market analysis, and trend forecasting. I am proficient in fashion illustration, fabric research, and the Adobe suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, Fresco).
