At Valentino, I led the creative development

...

of Haute Couture and core collection designs for 13 years, mastering every detail from leather selection to final fittings. At Tod's, I collaborated closely with the Della Valle family, bringing forward a bold vision under Walter Chiapponi's creative direction. Currently, as a freelance consultant, I guide brands in crafting collections that resonate globally.

My expertise lies in conceptualizing and materializing designs that tell stories, delight customers, and uphold the impeccable standards of Italian manufacturing. With a strong foundation in fashion sociology and historical costume design, I bring a narrative depth to every project.

Passion meets precision, and creativity drives innovation. This mantra has guided my journey in the fashion industry, turning dreams into tangible, wearable art for almost 20 years.

Openminded to new opportunities.
