Available to hire
Hi, my name is Alice Cenedese, and I am a fashion designer with experience in sportswear, casual wear, and fashion-oriented brands.
My expertise spans multiple product categories — including outerwear, knitwear, jersey, woven garments, and tailoring — covering both industrial and commercial design processes.
In my recent roles as Head Designer and Design Coordinator, I oversaw the entire collection development process: from the creation of mood boards and color palettes to trend research, sketching, fabric and trim selection, fittings, and finalization of SMS samples.
