MELISSA SIMIONATO

Grey Sheep

Graduation year

2009

I am an innovative forward thinking and curious designer.
While I am passionate about Womenswear I have a natural inclination for embroidery, experimenting with a wide selection of materials and tecniques,creating individual effects, details and artistic applications that can be applied to both prêt a porter and haute couture.
All my previous experiences in different fields of fashion, from company as Replay, to atelier as Godi Fiorenza in Venice, helped me to understand more about all the different aspects of the fashion world.
Have been working for Alexander McQueen was a really a big opportunity and experience for me. Surrounded with very talented people it improved myself as a designer in an international contest.

Hands that sew, bind together, hour apon hour, until the body is covered in a fine surface of work ,work forgotten by time and simoultaneously timeless.
Suspended volumes, a revelation, three dimensional work of art on show.
