Francesca Romana Perazzelli

INSIDE*OUT

Cape Town, South Africa
I was born in 1980 in Molise and I moved to Rome for university studies in 1999. In 2006 I received Academic Diploma in Fashion Design at the IED Modalab in Rome.
I trained as a fashion designer at Laltramoda spa, a mid-sized company that integrating me in style office has exposed me to different experiences such as: research of fabrics and new trands, creating inspiration boards, development of the collection and correction of clothing, which have allowed me to develop new professional skills and the ability to integrate my contribution to the work of a team.
In 2010 I moved to South Africa in Cape Town, where I had the opportunity to work deeply into the world of styling and photography, in collaboration with local artists and designers.
In 2013, I started the project of INSIDE*OUT , starting with a range of large shopper bags made ​​entirely by hand.
