I am a fashion designer specializing in women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, with experience at international brands such as EA7 Emporio Armani, AMBUSH, and DSQUARED2. My work combines archive and image research with strong technical skills, from sketching and rendering to detailed technical drawings and material development. Throughout my career I have collaborated closely with Creative Directors, Head Designers, and product development teams, following the entire creation process—from fabric selection and treatments to fittings, sample reviews, and backstage support during shows and lookbooks. I graduated from IED Milano, where I received the Franca Sozzani Award for best thesis project and was featured in Vogue Talents. My approach blends contemporary vision, craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of construction and production processes.
