Showcase & Discover Creative Work

Who I am:
 
I was born in Rome.
They told me I used to draw fashion since the first day I was able to hold a pencil.
I did my studies at The International Academy of Haute Couture and Art of Costume Koefia in Rome where I graduated as a Fashion Designer and Product Responsible.
From 2001, even before my graduation, my first engagement as a fashion designer took me to Mexico City for a fashion show.
Afterwards I got interested in costumes and I began working in the field, first as an assistant costume designer, then as a key costume designer for movies and short movies. I’ve then kept working as a stylist over the last 11 years, exploring many different aspects of my job: fashion shootings, videoclips, personal and company branding and so on. I also had the opportunity to work as a trend Spotter at Trendstop.com.
Currently, beyond my work in costume designing and fashion styling, I’m teaching Fashion Design for the Philadelphia University in Rome at UARC, and being their Study Abroad Program Manager.
Recently I began working on a new project called D O U B L E, an agency that creates special projects connecting art, fashion and design.
I’m based in Rome, and I love working overseas too.

CHI SONO

Sono nata a Roma.
Mi hanno sempre raccontato che disegno moda da quando ho iniziato a tenere in mano una matita.
Mi sono diplomata come Stilista e Responsabile del Prodotto presso l'Accademia Internazionale d'Alta Moda e Arte del Costume Koefia.
Già nel 2001, ancora prima di diplomarmi, il mio primo lavoro come stilista freelance mi ha portata a Città del Messico per la mia prima sfilata.
Dopo alcuni stage e collaborazioni nel campo della moda ho scoperto il lavoro di costume designer e ho iniziato a lavorare in questo ambito, prima come assistente, in seguito come capo reparto per film e cortometraggi. Mi sono infine specializzata in spot pubblicitari: lavoro come stylist da 11 anni.
Durante questi anni ho avuto modo di esplorare molte sfaccettature della mia professione, curando photoshooting di moda, videoclip musicali, branding aziendale e personale, video istituzionali, iniziative di marketing virale, promo, campagne stampa e altro.
Nel 2006, pur continuando a svolgere il mio lavoro di stylist, ho iniziato ad insegnare Fashion Design per la Philadelphia University nella sede romana che si trova presso lo UARC Rome Center in Palazzo Taverna.
Nel 2009 ho approfondito il settore della ricerca di tendenze moda e ho collaborato con trendstop.com come trend spotter.
Nel 2011, in aggiunta alla docenza, ho acquisito il ruolo di Study Abroad Manager, coordinando i corsi della Philadelphia University presso UARC.
Dal 2006 ad oggi l’offerta dei corsi si è ampliata e la mia docenza include attualmente, oltre ai corsi di Fashion Design, anche quelli di Fashion illustration, Fashion Styling, Trend Forecasting, Design Concepts e Italian Design.
Nel 2012 ho iniziato ad occuparmi in qualità di direttore creativo di un nuovo progetto chiamato D O U B L E, un'agenzia che si occupa di costruire network creativi nell'ambito d moda, arte e design con lo scopo di creare sinergie professionali, eventi e progetti speciali.
Abito a Roma e amo viaggiare per lavoro.
