I was born in Correggio (RE) on the 17th of May, 1993. Ever since I was a child I have been very passionate about art and drawing, therefore I decided to pursue my passion and attended an Art High School in Reggio Emilia.
At school I discovered the world of fashion design and the process to create clothes. After graduating I moved to Milan, where I attended IED Milan, from which I graduated with honours in 2015.

I did my first internship in a consulting studio in Milan, through which I had the opportunity to work for brands such as Marella, and Elie Saab. Then I decided to move to London, where I started an internship in David Koma; here I quickly stood out and was offered a junior designer role, which I held for two years.
In 2019 I moved back to Milan and started working for Dolce e Gabbana as womenswear designer rtw. In 2020 Covid cause me to part ways with Dolce and Gabbana, which pushed my to start my own brand.
Officially, my label was born in October 2021, but I dreamed about it ever since I was a teenager.

Latest Collection

Tornado

Everything derives from The tornado, a natural, terrifying, and captivating phenomenon was the inspiration to develop the Fall winter 23.THis MAJESTIC COLLECTION idea ALLOW THE DESIGNER TO SHOW HIS MOST ECLECTIC SIDE.
The focal point of the collection is the spiral motion created by a tornado; this can be seen in the fabric itself, where fringes are reminiscent of spirals and vortices, linking the sky with the ground, without ever touching either.
All of this is also blended with Bruce Weber’s photography from the 1990s, with its carved bodies wearing undershirts and twisted garments.
