MariaFrancescaPepe

MariaFrancescaPepe’s “Jewellery-Wear” is a new concept for both Fashion Jewellery and Clothing that become inter- changeable pieces and essential designs for a new luxury ideal. The boundaries between clothing and accessories become blurred whilst retaining a contemporary functionality. Made in Italy, every piece is handcrafted to the highest standard by selected artisans and factories Maria works in strict contact with. MFP Creative Studio, Press, Sales and Distribution are all based in London.
After studying at Central Saint Martins (2 years Master in Womens wear) and Istituto Marangoni (4 years BA in Fashion Design), Maria worked alongside Jens Laugesen and interned for Vivienne Westwood. Fashion East sponsored MFP first commercial season whilst Dover Street Market stocked it, achieving a double-spread page on the Evening Standard the next day after the show.
