GET TO KNOW ME
Since I was a kid I always knew my life would have been dedicated to something creative, as I felt creativity was very much part of my essence.
After finishing High School I studied Architecture in Turin, the city where I come from, and after my Bachelor degree I moved to Fashion, so I got my second degree in Fashion & Textile design.
I Started my career in 2008 with an internship at SARTORIA SANTANDREA where I dived into the world of bespoke menswear: from fabric colour variations to garment constructions and customer experience. Same path on menswear at ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA where I had the opportunity of collaborating across all product categories, woven, knitwear and jersey.
At studio IF I started focusing on knitwear and jersey collections for brands like AGNONA, CORNELIANI, ISAIA, SLOWEAR, WOOLRICH, and grew up professionally on both menswear and womenswear, and on either design and product development.
At GIORGIO ARMANI I was hired as senior designer and then Head of knit and jersey for the main label’s womenswear collection. I also had the incredible opportunity of working closely to Mr. Armani and to learn all about the outerwear and dresses world.
In 2019 I had the amazing opportunity of moving to London to direct PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND’s menswear collection. Widely inspired by the huge brand’s heritage, I created an updated and contemporary language to speak to a younger customer.
In 2021 I worked at ALANUI, part of the New Guards Group, supporting the creative director on womenswear, home wear and developing menswear across all categories, woven, knit and jersey.
I am currently working on collaborations with chinese brands like FABRIQUE and GXG with the aim of creating capsule collections of knitwear and woven pieces that are exclusively sold within the chinese market.
I am strongly driven by architecture, art, design, music, movies, literature and science, especially when it comes down to imagine a world, a vision that translates into a collection. My creative mind is always hungry for new and innovative concepts, but never forgets to keep the feet on the ground. I am a good researcher, from trends to materials; mood boards and inspirations are my favourites.
