Hi, I'm Riccardo Caruana, a calm, confident, and communicative fashion designer with a keen eye for visual storytelling. I love expressing myself through illustration, creative direction, and concept-driven fashion. I am curious by nature and thrive in both independent and collaborative environments. My energy is fueled by the creative process—transforming ideas into meaningful, tangible designs. I founded an independent brand that uniquely blends traditional Italian roots with German urban culture, crafting contrast-driven collections that combine handcrafted elegance with streetwear aesthetics and personal storytelling. I'm also passionate about sharing my drawings and designs with a growing social media community.
