Tell us something about yourself and your initial collaborations.

It’s a long time almost 20 years ago I completed my bachelors from IED, Rome and during those days very few fashion school exists.
I start my first collaboration with ‘Jenny’ during 1988; it was also a good learning experience for me as well. Later, I worked as a very close assistant to Alessandro Dell’acqua where I was in charge of trend and material research.

What is your major inspiration?
My inspiration keeps on changing as, fashion is never constant. But still I believe on taking experience from the past and making something new. Changes in the modern society put a lot of impact on fashion, so the designer’s job has to be very true and heart full. Also, working on the real shape of the women’s body; a blend between modernity and femininity.

How does your design lab functions?
It is a modern design studio with a very small team. I started with doing jewel and embroidery for Prada and from then on started to develop my Clientele. I work with a design strategy of ‘very fast life with couture style’, very elegance, sophisticated and precious; a work of true artisans.

What are your future projects and goal?
Well, right now I want to concentrate on the things that I am already doing. May be just to expand a little bit with the space of the collection. I believe in taking small steps and am in no hurry to take bigger risk or step.
