I am a Neapolitan fashion designer, extremely curious and determined, I like to express my emotions by reworking new and past lines, playing with styling and contrasts, through my designs I always try to tell something with creativity and sensitivity. Fashion has always been a passion of mine since childhood, but I never had the opportunity to immerse myself in this world until three years ago. After high school, in fact, I enrolled in business school, but it was only during a careful introspective analysis, due to the pandemic, that I really understood what my path was. During my studies and especially during the realisation of my Graduate Collection, I had the opportunity to specialise in leather goods design. My main project is called “Ultrasnob” and it and has been involved in several national and international contests such as: Milano Moda Graduate, Fashion Graduate Italia and the most recent Marrakech Fashion Week. The project started from a styling job, in which I talk about the acceptance of my sexuality.

Duality is a concept I have car- ried since birth, when in ‘96 a girl gave birth to me and my twin brother. Growing up together, almost as if we were one person, a sense of detachment began to pervade me during my early teenage years, when I noticed that my interests seemed different from those of boys my age, but especially different from those of my twin brother: football and the stadium. I felt annoyingly different, even though I tried hard and wanted nothing more. Perhaps it was during those years that I began to realise that I was different, as were my interests on the other hand: fashion in all its facets: elegance and luxury. This, however, is what I thought until not so many years ago, when I was still hiding my truest and most creative, sensitive and fragile side from everyone: this is how my project will be: the union of two different but not entirely distant worlds that can parade in unison.
